What kind of footwear do you love wearing the most? For me, I am very much comfortable with slippers, sandals, and closed flat shoes (baby doll shoes and those sneaker-type flats. Lol idk what you call them. Haha). Those are the things that I usually wear. I love sneakers and rubber shoes, too, but it's kind of a hassle to wear them, because I need to wear socks and they still need to be tied. Lol. As for heeled shoes, I like wearing heels for formal events (of course), and when I want to look a bit sophisticated or to spice up a simple outfit. Shoes really have a big impact on the over-all look of your outfit, but the comfort you'll get should be considered too. So for you guys and girls, what's your favorite type of footwear and why do you prefer it? :)

My very favorite shoes to wear are my Crocs because they are so comfortable, I can wear them all day long and it doesn't bother my feet at all. However, I also really like to wear my tennis shoes because they are easy on the feet and the best way to minimize the risk of injuring the feet. I have a bad ankle so my choice of footwear has a lot to do with what is going to provide the most protection to my feet.

I haven't really tried Crocs, because I didn't think I'd feel comfy in them. Since they are made of rubber, I thought that maybe they could make my feet feel hot, and since I have sweaty feet, I might slip out of them or something while walking. Lol

I used to love my heels but now that I have so much trouble walking, I seem to live in flat slip-ons or sandals these days. I managed to find a lovely pair of cinderella slipper style shoes for my wedding, I couldn't even contemplate wearing heels however much I wish I could

My favorite type of footwear is flipflops, I love the ones from Old Navy. They last longer than any others that I have bought. Other than that I wear tennis shoes, and hiking boots. I also have a pair of boots for work, since they have to be certified for wildland firefighting. I do like heels every once in while, like you if the occassion calls for it. But, if I'm at home......it's barefoot.

I'm a big fan of gladiators, both flats and high heeled platforms, its just the perfect footwear to go along with my style, 'coz I usually dress in a laid back and edgy way, so I find gladiators to give the edge I want, but since I had my knee injury I never got to wear my high heels gladiator platform anymore but I'm still wearing my gladiator flats. I also like to wear ballerina flats and open toe pumps, I also plan to try a Chuck Taylor, I never had one but I'm planning to buy it on my birthday..

During the winter I wear tennis shoes(sneakers). Once it warms up I wear flip flops. I even wear them to church. They make so many nice ones now and they are actually comfortable.

I am just like you. I love wearing slippers and flat sandals, or baby doll shoes. I don't wear sandals with heels on a normal day. Hehehe. I usually just wear them on special events, I don't like wearing heels, cause I feel that I'm too tall already, and it makes my legs ache. That's why I stick to my comfy slippers and baby doll shoes.

Sometimes I wish though that I'm not this tall, so that I can still wear super high heels, cause all the nice shoes have high heels. Hehehehe. It's really a heaven sent for me when baby doll shoes made it's way to fashion cause it's flat, it's comfy, and it looks really really nice on my feet.

How tall are you, btw? Maybe you can still wear super high heels, just flaunt it and don't mind your height. ;) And yes, I've always loved flats, too :D

You're lucky that you're tall. Lol. I'm a bit short, so heels are really a big help. Haha. Baby doll shoes are the best, though. Simple but elegant in a way. :D

I have always like the simpler and more casual styles when it came to footwear. I was blessed with small feet so i never had much need for high heels. Any kind of sneaker or slip on shoe would by my perfect fit.

My regular footwear is always rubber shoes, because I am always walking in going to the office. Just like you I also like to wear high heels if there is occasion to attend or just want to dress up. Sometimes I am wearing slippers if I feel that my feet need to breathe and if its hot.

Hi! My favourite shoes are flat but still girly! the baby dolls (or whatever they're called as you said), they're comfy and look good with everything. I've got them in different styles and different colours but black are the easiest to wear. You can pretty much wear them with everything and in every occasion so with them on I'm prepared for anything! As for other shoes, I wear flip flops at home since my feet need to "breathe" and boots during winter. I'm not so good with heels but I still love them so I wear them only when I know I'll dance or to look fancier!

I am very much comfortable too with flats, slippers and sandals. But most of the time I'm wearing ballet flats or any flat closed shoes because of my work. I do also have sneakers, rubber shoes, & high heels but I rarely used it. I just wear it if it is required or badly needed but otherwise I really don't wear it.

Hi jeeyah, it usually depends on the situation then. I like putting on slippers when staying indoor at home. I prefer slippers which are soft and comfortable. When having outdoor activities like weeding and watering, sweeping fallen leaves I always put on low heeled shoes. Yeah, only the old ones that no longer putting on when going out. These shoes are comfy as well as can protect the feet from getting dirty If I go on vacation that needs to walk long distance I like to wear sneakers. I don't feel tired easily to walk in these comfortable footwears. I have a pair of rebok in black and the other pair is nikel in white and blue. I always put on my kumar brand casual shoes while shopping in the hypermarket or hanging around the shopping mall. Comfort and simple always come first when it comes to footwears Happy posting

Hi there jeeyah! My favorite type of footwear depends on certain situations like the occasion or event at hand. For instance, if I have to go to work, I usually wear flats on my way then change to my heels while in the class then back to flats when I am in the office. If I travel, depending on where I am going, I would like sneakers, rubber shoes, flip flops, or sandals. I run a lot and so I have several pairs of running shoes in my closet.

hi jeeyah I would love to wear baby dolls or ballet or any pretty shoe but alas I have a deformed foot from a mistreated ruptured tendon and am stuck in ugly black boot like orthopedic shoes with a brace on my bad foot so no pretty shoes;makes me feel like crying at times.

Aww, that's awful. :/ Well, maybe you can just do something to make those shoes prettier like baby dolls. Or maybe you can ask if there are available ones in other designs/styles. Will your foot get better, though?

I love sandals because you can wear them either to dress up or dress down. I hae five or six pairs and I can't wait for summer to come to wear them. Outside of that, you will always find me in sneakres. My latest fav pair are Skechers. I've never been a fan of heels and the closest that I get is a low pump but I do agree that they really add to the sophistication of an outfit.

Yes, sandals are really versatile. When you wear them, you don't go "overdressed" or "underdressed", so I think they're really nice.

I like high heeled shoes, because I am not tall, wearing a pair of high heeled shoes makes me taller, and they are pretty, I like the feelings with high heeled shoes. But it is really tired when you wear high heeled shoes for a long time.
