Where can I find some comfy shoes?

Contrary to popular belief, flat shoes are not the most comfortable for many people,' says podiatrist Emma Supple from Supple Feet. ‘Unless you're walking on rough terrain, a small heel is more comfortable as it arches the foot and provides some protection from hard surfaces. Everyone has an ideal heel height. To find yours, sit with the balls of your feet on the floor and raise and lower you heels until you find the most comfortable position. Gel inserts can also help, but you need to put one under your heel as well as under the ball of your foot, to stop your foot sliding forward.'

 
Marks & Spencer does two shoe ranges which look good and are designed for comfort. The Footglove range has a comfortable flexible sole with prices starting at £25 and the Insolia range has a special insole which pushes weight back onto your heel, with prices starting from £35.
