Im after some black shoes for work, I've had some in the past that werent overly comfy inside, might have because they were cheap. Can anyone suggest any that are comfy and where to buy from ?

    Have a look at Hotter shoes (they have a website if they don't have a shop near you). Unfortunately, comfort doesn't come cheap - but if you are on your feet all day you'll be glad you spent the extra!

    My favorite brand is pikolinos. They are not cheap.
    I got it at Christmas sales at Amazon last year.

    Clarks, either by post (returns are free) or from a Clarks shoe shop if you have one anywhere near.

    I don't mind paying for decent quality shoes, but I never pay full price, always buy in sales.

    Churches, Grenson, Loakes etc appear expensive when you are buying them, but when after 5+ years of almost daily wear they are still good as new you know its a good investment.

    If these are too pricy Doc Martins are still as good as ever.

    I got a pair of [these] for £35 in the last Clarks sale. First pair of work shoes that needed no breaking in and were comfortable straight out of the box. Also 1/2 sizes.

    Ahh, the never ending search for comfy shoes :) I don't find Clarks as comfy as they once were :( (Except maybe the Cushion Soft range). For value, Sainsbury's Sole Comfort shoes have proved pretty good, (if you can find them!), as have F&F Sensitive Sole shoes and M&S Footglove. But my sis loves Skechers, and also picked up a brand new pair of Shuropody shoes from the charity shop which she says are the comfiest she's ever had (but she has wide feet). I find low heel shoes comfier than completely flat shoes, as does she. I suppose it's horses for courses really, it really all depends on what you need! HTH

    I guess I could buy some nice inner soles to make them comfy.
