Ferragamos fit best of all. Stuart Weitzman is pretty good. And yes, Louboutins, at least the ones I got, are quite comfortable. My heel does slip out of almost everything.

If one more shoe salesman tries to tell me that I have wide feet...well, he will see my extremely high instep at very close range. Ok not really, but it's very condescending, particularly when my narrow heel is swimming and flopping around in a normal width shoe. (Not that there is anything wrong with wide feet, but when your feet aren't wide, it grates because you know they have no clue about shoes and fit.)<br /><br />I've been eyeing Varinas but afraid to try them because of the instep issue. Sad to hear they aren't comfy. But maybe you should've gotten them in Wide...I kid. I'm actually excited you to see were able to fit in Louboutins.

It's a big trip.<br /><br />Deja - I have to bend down and pull them up, or sit, but it's very fast. I trade support and a closer fit off against the easy on parameter. Shoes I can step into don't give me quite as much support as I like when I'm hauling computers and suitcases.<br /><br />Across the Pond - I looked up the Privos, they seem to be Clark's entry in the yeah they are comfy but they are still cool derby. Thanks for the resource.<br /><br />La Belette - A compelling narrative, rife with ripe archetypes.<br /><br />MBZ - Ha! I bow to your Puma collection. Although, come to think of it, I have another pair of black and green driving Pumas that are pretty wild for me:).<br /><br />Walking Barefoot - Now that is a possible alternative. I have never worn clogs. I have extremely high insteps and have always assumed clogs would hurt. And I usually shy away from Eileen Fisher just because of the dowdy problem. But for flying I might lift my embargo. I hope you had a great trip/great trips.<br /><br />Hill House - Ha! We all learn eventually:).

You are up with DocP, taking the high road:). I have to say there is nothing like a cashmere sweater. If I could only have one piece of clothing that's what it would be. I am not familiar with Rabotin shoes. Thank you for the new reference.<br /><br />Marion - Black. Black addresses a myriad of sartorial sins in my opinion.

And I love the idea of going out shoes and coming back shoes.<br /><br />Nelle - I think a driving moc would make me happy, as long as there was padding in the sole. Often those are very thin-soled and I am kind of a stomper. But I agree, when I used to fly for business, I was often in a suit or suit-substitute.<br /><br />see you there - I love my Lululemon yoga pants. But they are pricey. And flying make me sad too, that's why I am so far over on the comfort spectrum.<br /><br />Jan - Scanning the line for the baggage scanners is an entire body of expertise in itself.<br /><br />Miss Whistle - An Angeleno:). I just can't stand the way jeans make me feel after about 2 hours. I can tolerate pain better than I can discomfort. I do not know why that is. I just try to make these the best yoga pants possible and make sure my hair is very tidy:).<br /><br />Rachel - Airports make me anxious too. Your outfit sounds fab to me...<br /><br />Elizabeth - I find that with layers I wind up futzing around, off, on, hot, cold, dropping pieces of cloth, and I do better with a binary set up. Either I'm in a tee or I have on some down.

My usual is blank ponte knit pants and black or charcoal tee with a charcoal heather cashmere cardigan because I am always cold on planes, and I can tie it around my shoulders at the gate or upon arrival. For shoes, I am happy with black Clark's with about a two inch heel. Extremely comfortable, and the best walking shoes I've ever had for wearing when I'm not exercise walking. For that, I like Privos, which I think are made or owned by Puma.Town and Country Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842299632895569707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-39907537855611244452010-11-03T14:08:22.315-07:002010-11-03T14:08:22.315-07:00hi lpc,
