    I wear suede / leather shoes that have an elasticated bit at either side. I have found them more comfy than trainers - although I wear trainers as well - and I also bought them in a wide fit and they are the comfiest shoes I have ever bought - so I bought 2 pairs!!

    Not sure if I can say this but they are from the shoe tailor.

    In the house slippers.
    Outside whatever the weather calls for, sandals if it's warm or ballet pump things and either wellies or knee high flat boots in the winter. I do comfort not glamour.
    love Sarah.

    Outdoors = those hybrid trainers-cum-walking-boots.

    Indoors = slippers with food stuck to the soles.

    At home I am generally in socks because I'm a bit good at stepping on children!
    Out and about, nike sandals when it's hot, flat shoes or trainers mostly. I find nike and puma the most comfy.

    Birkenstocks and Crocs for as most of the year that I can get away with!!

    I have Echo shoes for the winter with good arch supports

    Good Leather Walking Boots for really muddy conditions or snow

    Never Wellies they kill your feet and can cause problems with ankles and knees if you wear them a lot. One of my friends has had to have surgery on her knees
