(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best shoes for women

I'm gonna spam my own fashion sense, I hope you like some of what I like ;p

If you want dresses, I would recommend one size fits all dresses off Amazon. Then you don't have to worry about cups that are not filled by breasts. I really love Sakkas brand, which you can find on Amazon. I have this, for example, and the top part is stretchy so it's basically one size fits all: https://www.amazon.com/Sakkas-103141-Adara-Batik-Dress/dp/B00K1ML5JW/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1482827864&sr=8-33&keywords=sakkas+dress

Or any cheap $10-$15 dress from a place like Forever 21 is so poorly designed that it is effectively one size fits all.

Here are some cute colorful socks:

I know a lot of people here also love those cat thigh high socks, like these:

https://www.amazon.com/Kawaii-Cartoon-Animal-Tattoo-Stockings/dp/B0163422D4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482827633&sr=8-1&keywords=cat+thigh+high

I bought this in the past and I think it's kinda androgynous

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JKF0BNC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Cape coats are technically women's fashion but they're so obscure that I think a lot of people don't know how to gender them

https://www.amazon.com/Artka-Womens-Embroidery-Turn-down-Collar/dp/B00F8A0C5U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482827761&sr=8-1&keywords=cape+coats

I also really love Mordenmiss jackets (also off Amazon). They're really loose and kinda art smock-y.

I bought this pair of boots a while back and they're really, really nice!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KAI4GL6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've also bought these and I get tons of compliments on them

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OMUIWD6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also have this Forever 21 dino sweatshirt and I can't walk 5 minutes without getting a compliment on it. Unfortunately it isn't sold in stores anymore, but this might help give more ideas of femme clothing.

I think anything that is a "Women's [traditionally male clothing]" is bound to look fairly androgynous. Like women's button downs, women's sweatshirts and sweatpants, women's leather jackets, etc.

This reminds me I need to find my black Danskos. I used to love wearing them when I was waitressing. They are heavy, but super comfortable and supportive. Where are you planning on wearing them? I've never thought to wear them out with jeans or anything... but in working environments they're great! I do have these which I pull off with jeans and are fun to wear.

I live in interior Alaska, where it gets cold, -40 to -60 in the deep winter. Are you going to be outside a lot? If not, and you're simply running from your car to your work, you can get by with less robust clothing (normal boots, wool socks, jeans, a thick coat, hat and gloves). Otherwise, here's some suggestions for outdoor work:

bunny boots. They're designed for arctic weather and can be had for the price of a pair of converse all-stars.

If you have access to Costco, their kirkland wool socks are a great bang for buck, and you can always double them up for more warmth.

Get yourself some merino wool thermal underwear, top and bottom. It wont stink as much as synthetic after working all day and they seem warmer to me.

Check out your local military surplus store for warm hats, gloves and wool sweaters.

Sierra Trading Post has a lot of good stuff that's heavily discounted. I've bought a lot of down coats from them, as well as base layers and gloves. Also try Gear Trade. Just be aware that down is not good at blocking wind. If its going to be windy, have a windproof shell. Carhartts are good outer layers that can take a beating and aren't too expensive. They run large so you can layer under them.

Get yourself a beanie/toque/wool cap and some turtle fur.

Hope that helps!

These may not be the cutest shoes to pair with your outfits, but the Skeckers go-walks are SO comfortable. I was in Singapore and Malaysia for three weeks over winter term and I was the only one in my group that never once complained about their feet. :) They are very lightweight and have great arch support.

Thank you gorgeous.

> Now i hope you are smiling again

I was never not smiling. Watching you show off your gorgeous legs always keeps a smile on my face.

You want to know something weird? When I get nauseous from forgetting to eat for awhile or whatnot, a pickle always helps me get rid of the nausea. I have noooo idea.

And maybe some nice knives(Prep) or... Toms(Clothing)? XD

Edit: Also, TT and TC are super active right now.

For what it's worth, I wore these shoes too and found them on Amazon for super cheap! Pretty comfortable, true to size, and minimal rubbing!

https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Betsey-Johnson-Womens-Lucy/dp/B014G8P6Y6

[Miz Mooz] (http://www.amazon.com/Miz-Mooz-Womens-Bloom-Knee-High/dp/B003EP3RBC/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_3) These may not be quite what you are looking for but I bought a pair in black last year and wear them all the time. My calf measures 13" and they fit snugly. I managed to get them on sale at $140, making them the priciest pair of shoes I own, but considering how often I wear them I am happy with my splurge and think I will be for a few more years. Happy hunting!

Those are the Nine West Speakup. I can't say they're the most comfortable flats I own but I like the overall look so I just throw in some insoles and deal haha

My pairs from Dr. Scholls and Corso Como are more comfortable out of the box

Those boots are super cute, though I feel will bring the dress down to more casual than with heels. How about some nude chunky heels that elongate your legs and are comfy and safe enough to dance in? Like these?

When I was a server, I got a pair of these Skechers bobs: Skechers Women's Bobs Plush Peace and Love Flat,Black,8.5 M US https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DU76CHK/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_U-vyub1FHH0T9

They were great because they have a black sole (not white) so in accordance with a servers all black footwear, were relatively cheap, and crazy comfortable with the soft canvas and the soles were plush memory foam.

Either:

Some type of to the knee dress. Either with a flowy skater hem or a more professional straight hem. If it's cold I'll wear tights and a cardi.

Colored chinos with a sweater or long sleeve shirt that pairs well color-wise (if I wear bright on bottom like coral, I wear a neutral top and vise-versa)

A pencil skirt and a button up. (This is usually for conferences)

On my feetsies I wear flats but as of late I've bought 3 pairs of Tom's that I rotate (black, grey, and red) along with my flat buckle up map shoesTom's are just straight up comfy and are great for standing all day long.

you know, i don't know what season you're getting married in, but there was a velvet boot with a chunky heel i was eyeing a couple years back, and I'm wondering if she would like something like that--adds the height, but v cool a lot like these

this kind is a little more whimsical to me being a wedge, but similar idea

I got these from Amazon and love them! Very comfortable and seem to be holding up very well.

I own these in black and they're my favorite shoe ever tbh, very comfortable. Best for thin feet though.

Thank you so much! I love the Betsey Johnson Lark ones - those are probably my 2nd choice right now (assuming I can't find the Kate Spade on eBay or somewhere secondhand :) )! I also really like these you listed and think they could probably work too :)

How about the Anne Klein Bunty? I actually own this boot in the black leather and I really love it :) Its very comfy and looks quite nice. Depending on what size you wear, it's sold in a couple different places online too.

I think Crocs are great for the garden. That's what they were made for. IMO, that's where they should have stayed.

I don't think they're any great shakes. But then, what your body says trumps even the most professional of opinions.

I always recommend any Crocs fan to try the shoe that they shamelessly ripped off in the first place.

Not really bottoms, but I've found a pair of knee-high boots always seems to even out my body and make me look longer and slimmer no matter what kind of pants I'm wearing under them- though I tend to favor skinny jeans since they fit under them more comfortably. I have a pair of loose-fit black skinny jeans from Macys and forest green Gap Corduroy skinny pants.

To go over them, I have a pair of Hush Puppies Alternative boots from Macys (most comfy shoes in the world- period), and these hot Miz Mooz boots. The Miz Mooz boots were on sale for 40% off when I got them on Amazon, and I get so many compliments on them!

I'm short (5'2"), but with this combination, I never feel too pear-y or stubby.

Depends on your feet, but I have Dr. Scholls flats on Amazon on my wish list and it sends me a notification when they go on sale, so I never spend more than $30 on any given pair. They last me a long time.

I'd never heard of Rothy's until I saw your post, and they look so good! I'm going to keep my eyes on those too :)

For shoes, maybe you could wear leather sneakers. Maybe some slip-ons like these, or converse like these. They'd allow you to run and look presentable, depending on what side of business casual your place is on (although I guess they're on the side of "safety first").

I really need a new wallet. I'm looking at minimalistic wallets right now because I just want something that's functional, will fit in my pocket, will hold cards and bills, and preferably is under $30 or so. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking at Dash wallets right now.

I just want to buy shoes... I'm looking at these more low-key Doc Martens. I'm also thinking of getting these because I want cheap wedges to get used to walking in heels.

I love this dress! The Modcloth sale is really tempting.

1. A fun pair of earrings, like any one of these: 1 2 3 4 5 6
   
   
2. A new tote. I really like this one and this one
   
   
3. This necklace
   
   
4. These velvet boots
   
   
5. Fanny pack

I love my Reebok Skyscape Runarounds. Super comfy out of the box and machine washable.

http://zapp.me/8358297

Just got these- they look great and they are super comfy.

Also have a pair of black docs:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073ZNQN8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_t-xzub0TKNYHM also very comfortable.

And a pair of distressed brown cowboy boots. Not the most comfortable if I'm gonna be standing for a few hours.

My office is business casual. I used to wear heels every day, but my feet couldn't take it anymore, so now I wear ballet flats or loafers. I really like these Dr. Scholls' flats and these flats. I even have a pair of Crocs that I wear to work! They just look like regular ballet flats.

I get most of my work clothes from Target and Marshall's/Ross/TJ Maxx!

Check out Betsey Johnson’s Blue line! I’ve found some beautiful flat shoes from that brand.

Two that I liked that I found on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Betsey-Johnson-Womens-Lucy/dp/B014G8P6Y6 and https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Betsey-Johnson-Sb-Molly-Pointed/dp/B06VSVZDLN/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=betsey+johnson+blue+flat&qid=1568298816&s=gateway&sr=8-3

I love those so much! I had good luck searching for glitter flats and sequin flats (and leaving the color out).

  Most of these don't have the bow, so if you're intent on that, try searching for shoe clips on etsy!
  
  Edit: YIKES. Currently formatting.

I have these in black leather. They are super comfy, and I feel like the leather dresses them up enough to wear them with some less casual things (which is important for me). The white rubber does get dirty very easily, though.

I got these Reebok sneakers in black after seeing them recommended in another thread on FFA. I really like them, and find them very comfortable.

The Claire Dexflex Scrunch flats. Also sold at Payless. You can't kill them. They don't die. I wear them basically from the time the winter boots come off and I can get away with not wearing socks, until the next winter boots season. One pair usually lasts me two summers of almost non-stop wear. They're cheap, comfortable, and they do not die.

Your safest bet is leather, full coverage, no holes. This is what is appropriate in a lab and required by a lot of hospitals; whether or not they enforce that, is entirely a different story. Everyone at the lab I'm currently doing rotations in wears sneakers.

I picked these up (the white ones are leather) at a Skechers outlet, because I hate the otherwise entirely unfeminine shoes that are typically offered for lab people. They're extremely comfortable and pretty cute with scrubs.

They're cute and cheap!!! Thank you so much!!

I like these and these too. So fun!

This is a great idea. Here are my suggestions:

$0-5: pig iphone sleeve

$5-10: for the ladies - very useful

$10-20: best chocolate bar ever!

$20-50: you get a pair, a pair is donated to a kid in need

You got everything I was going to mention, except mentioning the bunny boots... http://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Cold-Weather-Bunny-Boots/dp/B00GMEFRJW Not that I'd buy a pair, but when it comes to a real deep freeze, these are definitely the ones I'd want.

I'd also follow up your mention of the Carhartt coat with this link http://www.carhartt.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&catalogId=10101&productId=32106 as it's similar to what USAP is issuing.

And why in the world would you want to change Big Red to Big Black? We'd never be able to find you?

I've always had good luck with Bamboo's shoes. These are simple and classic, and should be comfy.

Here they are ...

Now i hope you are smiling again

I got these boots a while back and rather like them:

http://www.amazon.com/MIA-Womens-Kat-Combat-Black/dp/B00KAI4GL6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

Also here's another Sakkas dress that Amazon linked to that looks really cool

http://www.amazon.com/Sakkas-Aphrodite-Embroidered-Batik-Dress/dp/B00LGZ1VS8/ref=cts_ap_3_fbt

I'm between the black/pink and the chocolate/green myself

birkenstock kitchen clogs. They are non slip and super comfy.

Wear these. This is what we use in kitchens. They are comfy, easy on your feet, enhance your posture and are non-slip.

My dad teaches culinary school and swears by these! I found this sub on accident, but seriously he runs his through the dishwasher to sanitize them. If I had stayed in fine dining I would have my own by now, I hated Shoes for Crews. They're Birkenstocks but since it's this model specifically, I linked them. Good luck with your kitchen career! http://www.amazon.com/Birkenstock-Professional-Profi-Birki-Resistant/dp/B00GAXZQ9Q

https://www.amazon.com/Birkenstock-Professional-Profi-Birki-Resistant/dp/B00GAXZQ9Q

Miz Mooz has some similar boots: here and here

https://www.amazon.com/Birkenstock-Professional-Profi-Birki-Resistant/dp/B00GAXZQ9Q

There's some heel but it's not too big. I've worn shoes with big heels and I'm already 6'2 so I sympathize with you there.
