I love Clarks and Merrells--I have bunions and do a lot of walking. Plus, I need decent arch support. These brands are relatively affordable and very comfortable. Merrells last forever. Clarks are quite stylish and hold up well too. I just got some Clarks (low boots and a pair of knee boots) for a total of $150 at the outlet. Macy's had the low boots for $130 alone!
If you don't have an outlet nearby,
www.6pm.com offers good prices on shoes online. Try them on in a store then wait to find them online for the best price : )
