@Nonametoday Another designer that is wonderful is Donald Pilner. I believe he is sometimes on HSN. However, I had a pair of his shoes years ago that I bought at Marshall Fields or Neiman Marcus.
Really like Donald Pliner and Stuart Weitzman. I have found shoes at TJMaxx that I liked. You never know where you will find the best shoes. Some mid range expensive, others not so much. Thank you, KatCat1!
I used to wear Naot shoes and loved them. However, the last two pairs I bought were not of the same quality they were a few years back. May have just been I got a couple pairs of duds, but I stopped buying because I have limited budget and cannot waste money. I find that Sam Edelman which is priced lower is just as good.
So true that you can't just go by brand. I read the Zappo's reviews very carefully because one line can vary so much. I wonder if the fact that they are all now trying to be more fashionable is affecting the comfort of the shoe -- which is how they got their reputation! And why people were willing to pay more.

I’ve noticed the leather on my favorite Mary Janes is thinner than my original pair
@GSPgirl@Katcat1 It could well be that they have ranked styling ahead of comfort. Not sure but the last 2 pairs of Naot shoes I purchased just did not hold up like the former ones and I have bought a lot of that brand. Same thing happened to me with Cole Haan. They used to be the only shoe I would buy and then (I guess they went to China or went to Hades in a handbasket) the quality begin slipping.
