Converse
- Converse are comfortable and cool! I love them! Try them, they are the most awesome shoes ever! :]

Flexible Footwear
- I own a pair of Flexible Footwear, they are very light and comfortable. They are considered minimalist footwear and offer excellent traction for hiking.

Okabashi
- I have 18 pairs of Okabashi. They are the most comfortable shoes. I wear them everyday after work. I used to have back problems, and they have helped. They are so good I wear them to sleep.

Crocs For Me
- I used to wear lots of Nikes and few Chucks and Islanders and Skechers. But not one of them had the comfort, not even 1/5 of the comfort that any Crocs offer! I only have one pair though. It's expensive but I try to budget my money to buy more pairs. My Crocs are the shoes/sandals I mostly wear during outings. Right now I wear Crocs "Makino." My gawd! They are just so comfortable, though I'm looking for Crocs that would really conform to your heels. The "Makino" have a very BIG space for heels so that's why they don't conform to your feet completely. But I assure you, once you've tried, bought and enjoyed at least one pair, it's like you'll never want to take them off! I sometimes wear my Crocs when I sleep but not take a bath. BTW, to spot fake Crocs: (this is my way of spotting them) original Crocs have this shiny rubber which is the "croslite." If however it's not glossy, they're fake. It has to have a little gloss.

There are even more great brands!
- The selection of brands that you've written about is great, but there are even more brands out there that provide great comfort while also being stylish. Notably missing from your list are: Naot (similar to Birkenstock in many ways with a cork footbed - but many styles provide more cushion), Merrell, Keen, J-41 (incredibly cute, lots of comfy wedges), and El Naturalista.

MBTs
- My MBTs are amazing! They're the originators; way better than all those knockoffs and imitators--like Shape-Ups and Curves.

Josef Seibel Shoes - Comfy, Not Ugly
- I too LOVE my Josef Seibels, and they aren't UGLY -- not mine anyhow! I have 3 different styles and have received many compliments on how nice my shoes look. Mine are sandals (Eliza ?) and clog-type shoes. I have a bad heel from a car wreck 20+ years ago, and I can't wear many shoes that have backs in them.

Garmont 'Sticky Weekend'
- Italian made, controlled lacing, climbing rubber. These were nice shoes and sort of a legend around here, along with the early version Nike Lava Dome, and for me, the boot that finally worked for me after the pain of Raichles, Merrells etc. was Asolo. Asolo has the low volume in the heels that I need. I also have Mephisto sandals, very comfy, I wear them all summer.

Geox: My Comfortable Shoes
- I have been using this brand since many years ago. I discovered them suddenly by purchasing a pair on sale. I was suffering a lot because of uncomfortable shoes. Every pair of shoes I bought was thrown away after the first or second use. But after using this brand Geox I feel comfortable the whole time I am wearing them, especially since I am a teacher and I have to stand up for a long time. But they are a bit expensive.

Clarks
- I have 12 pair of Clarks ... some shoes, some sandals. I love them. But Earth Shoes come in close to Clarks. They're both comfy.
- —Guest Joyce
New Balance 665
- Other lesser brands give me shin splints - painful!
- —Guest Baruch Atta
Birkenstocks!
- Um, no question, once broken in, Birkenstocks are the most comfortable thing to ever grace my stinky feet.

'94 Nike b-ball high tops, a few more...
- I've always been a big guy AND gout sufferer. In '94 I had these high tops in the $40 range w/ no "bubble." In like 2005 I had these Adidas ClimaCools that were mesh and had this fishbone like frame, just couldn't wear them in the rain or wetness, and finally for dress shoes (which I never wear) Nunn Bush. Never had dress shoes that felt that good. They are great! I like Crocs too, but sometimes I think their loose fit causes problems because of the lack of support.

TOMS Shoes
- I absolutely love TOMS shoes- you slip them on and it feels like your foot is getting a hug. Not only are they comfy, but for every pair you buy they donate a pair to a child in need - a pretty cool system.

Feelgoodz!
- Not only are these the most comfortable flip flops ever, being 100% natural rubber makes them recyclable and biodegradable. They're made in Thailand so the company donates $$ to support social entrepreneurship there too.
