After going through the same problem myself, I think the only approach is to find a shoe store that carries as many brands of kitchen shoes as possible, even if you have to drive a ways - it will be worth it!
I did this years ago and must have tried on 8 different styles. A few were comfortable enough, but then - perfect fit. I knew as soon as I tried it on and now just order new ones over the internet for a decent price when the old ones wear out.
I had already tried brands that other people raved about, but didn't work for me. So, you just have to try them on yourself. My only regret is the ones I always wear that are so comfortable no matter how long my day, also happen to be as ugly as sin. |
