Anyone know any time tested running shoe models that come in black? I don't really care for asthetics, I'm just looking for something to run in that will feel good and last long, at a reasonable price

Hi All!

I'm reaching out to the hive-mind to get some insights.

About a year ago, I had to make the sad switch from wearing my beloved Vans Authentics to wearing running shoes (Asics Gel-Cumulus) every day. As I've gotten older (28F), an injury in my right foot has made itself more evident, and running shoes have been much more comfortable to wear. I also got custom full-length orthotics that fit perfectly in my running shoes.

Since switching to the running shoes and going to PT, I've noticed that my toes have splayed out a bit more, and I know that's a sign of a healthier foot. I recently tried putting on my Vans again and noticed just how incredibly cramped the toe box is, along with the total lack of any kind of cushioning.

My question to the hive-mind is this: does anyone have experience with daily shoes that don't look like running shoes but have the benefits of a roomier toe-box and at least some level of cushioning that would work with orthotics?

I'm not looking for gym shoes that don't look like gym shoes; I'm fully aware the benefits of a running shoe can't be recapitulated fully in a shoes that looks like a Vans shoe. But are there any shoes that look less athletic, closer to a Vans or Converse, that have more space and a touch more cushioning?

Thanks!

P.S.: I've had good experience with Kuru slippers and know they make some models that look more like daily non-running shoes, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger without hearing others' experience with them.

Okay so I know this is such a first world problem but I feel like a lot of the shoes that are “good for your feet” like supportive and everything are always so ugly. Like for example they’re extremely chunky and big and the colours are horrendous. For example, I LOVE pink, but like pretty pinks like a nice soft pastel pink, but all the shoes that are good for your feet either do like ugly neon pinks or dusty brown pinks or they pair a pretty pink with something like grey or neon yellow. Does anyone know of any shoes that are good for your feet but are fashionable too? Does that even exist?😭
