My life is about the continuing search for comfortable - read "archy" - shoes.  That usually means Mephisto, but you need to mortgage your house to buy a pair, so I gave up on them.  Naot is every bit as comfortable but half the price - still expensive, but in shoes, you definitely get what you pay for.

I long ago gave up all hope of finding pretty, stylish, comfy shoes.  Even most Naot styles are OK at best, but definitely not for dressy wear.  Until I found Pixie.

I have these shoes in black patent and I LOVE tem.  They support my arches as Naot always does, but they are pretty and suitable for somewhat dressy wear.  So far, my feet still look good enough to pass in an open shoe like this, the heel is the perfect height for me (I never wear anything higher than 1-1/2",) and the ankle strap doesn't cut into my feet, which swell in warm weather.  They feel secure on my feet and are pretty enough for party wear.  I"m about to go for my second pair.
