But if you really want something minamilistic and incredibly comfortable: go flossy's

http://www.flossyplimsolls.co.uk/store.asp#

comfortable is an understatement and theyre very understated too...and cheap!

i don't think chucks are particularly stylish. they look a bit like clown shoes and too many nerds wear them. i don't find them comfortable either. feels like i'm walking on floor boards constantly.

always thought slip ons made you look a bit like a slob. some people can look good in them though.


my feelings are genuinly hurt

flossys are the name brand plimsols i guess, shit feels like youre walking on pillows, real talk...

I use these ones only in a different color

They perform well as a casual shoe as well as rough terrain and even climbing.

How about
1. go to the store
2. pick shoes that you like
3. try them on to check if they're comfortable
4. buy them if you can aford them, if not repeat starting from #2.
?
How can another person tell better than you what will be comfortable and good for YOU? Unless you are 6 yo.

Hmm.... ever thought about the fact that he is looking for opinions on experiences with shoes from other people. Maybe the store clerk would say "didn't you think of asking people you know to see which shoes they find comfortable?". If shoes are comfortable for one person, it is likely down the shoe...

A friend of mine wants to buy some shoes for his sister. I want to ask you guys if you've ever bought from this site and know if they ship to Korea?

Shoes for retail? Anything... it's retail, hardly work.

For me it's got to be Lowa.

Vibram five fingers treksport. Feels so amazing. No need for socks anymore either. They are my only pair of "shoes" now. I always wondered why people these days walked around in 10 pound clobberknockers.

Why does this keep coming up? I've never heard of a retail location that would let you wear open toed shoes like that. And yes, it is open toe even though they are "covered." Also those are definitely not for standing on a hard surface for 8+ hours at a time.

Just go try on shoes you think look good and walk around in them a bit. Then ask yourself, "could I wear these all day?"
Or someone else will.

shoes for work are supposed to be standard black affair...what retail places do you go to where they can wear trainers?

I always used the cheapest pair of shoes that fit me (usually 10-15 bucks) then put in a new nice and comfy insole and you'll be fine

Yeah exactly what I was thinking of. To the people wearing to those just don't. They look ridiculous.

I talked to my local Occupational Health and Safety Board (government entity in charge of workplace safety), and they confirmed that five fingers were considered "closed toe". I work in retail and I have worn them to work. No problems with not having a huge sole for "protection". You just need to adjust and they are fine on hard surfaces.

Nice dress shoe's usually do the trick, just make sure they have rubber bottoms not anything else.

Running shoes are meant for running, not standing up all day and will cause pain over time.

The other option are skate shoes, which are meant to give you support on your feet and brace well for impacts.

Edit: And the point of working retail isn't that you're your most comfortable it's that you look professional in front of customers, those stupid open toe'd shoes don't cut it in front of customer eyes even if they are legal.

Wear some nice dress shoe's man, the first thing girls look at are the shoes you have on.

They are distracting for customers. I agree. I've had it interfere with my conversation when I'm trying to sell things. But, if you're not on commission like I am, and aren't overly self conscious like many people in this thread, then they are fine. Since I prefer not to go off on tangents while trying to sell something to a customer, I've decided to purchase completely normal looking barefoot shoes.

There's also the Ra's if you want something a little more formal.
