A well made pair of leather dress shoes will eventually mold themselves to your feet. It’s a different feeling to a sneaker, not fabric and foam rubber obv, but they can be super comfy. I’ve even got a pair of Frye boots I’ve had for like 20 years that feel tight when you first pull them on but then they’re just like a second skin, you forget they’re even there
People have told me this about dress and other kinds of shoes. But it’s not true for me so far. I’ve only found a few types of shoes that I can walk comfortably in period, and even just sitting, the dress shoes I’ve worn feel very narrow for me and have a hard and uncomfortable sole.
Oh man I’ve got hammer toes on one foot and you’ve made me realize that one of them has gotten really bad since the last time I had to wear anything more than sneakers.
I’m actually dreading the next time I have to wear dress shoes now. And I’m a 14WW, it’s hard enough finding shoes without toe conditions adding on top. I think I just need to find a cobbler, at this point.

It sound like you might have wide feet. I do, too, and have to look hard for good quality wide shoes. The sole should ease up with use.

Damn, that sounds rough. I hope you find some shoes that work for you!
