this has been my first semester student teaching, and after years of working in an office, i'm so not used to being on my feet all day! i have a very low tolerance for uncomfortable shoes, so i've been wearing mostly flats, but my feet are still killing me by the end of the day.

what are the most comfy shoes that you wear when teaching?

I LOVE my Danskos.... they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had for being on my feet all day!

i was thinking about getting these, but do you think they look too sneakerish?

I'd say those look great, definitely not too sneakerish!  As long as they are comfy, go for it! :)

I had the same problem last semester! I got a great pair of heels at payless for under 20 bucks!  it was their "comfy" brand

Dr. Schols sells really cute, but extremely comfortable flats.  I purchased a pair of really cute Dr. Schols silver flats with a big buckle at DSW. They are so comfortable. I'm on my feet all day (I teach kinder), sometimes speed walking up and down the hall, and my feet are pain-free at the end of the day. 

Go to DSW and check them out.

mg16 -- I second that! I have those too.  I got them in silver and black. 

OMG, I don't know how I missed this thread, but there is this shoe I feel very passionately about because it is so comfortable and it can look a little dressy.  Unfortunately, Clarks stopped making it.

When it was still for sale, it came in a bunch of different colors.  Amazon has something similar here.

I wear my cowboy boots! They are sooo comfy! I would also suggest to get some good insoles....

Me Too is an awesome brand of flats!!  They are a little expensive at Nordstroms, but you can find them at TJ Maxx every now and then.  I wear mine all the time now.  They are super squishy!
