Any recommendations for women's shoes? My Clarke's are falling apart very quickly. There's a company out of Portugal called SkyPro that advertises on here, but I haven't seen or met anyone who's used their products.
I may just go back to Dr. Martens. ~Fox |

All due respect, why do people come on a forum to ask what kind of shoes they should wear? Professional pilots asking stupid questions like that.
Here's an answer. Wear whatever dress shoes that feel the best and comply with company policy. Good grief, we're professional pilots telling someone what shoes to wear. If you take on the responsibility to fly a $30 million jet with a full load of passengers in the back, then you should take it upon yourself to try on several types of shoes and be able to make the best decision on what type to wear. What's next, underwear? I read reviews and look for input before buying lots of things, even stuff like laundry detergent and bed sheets. It’s called being smart with your money. |

Hate to break it to you Mr. Shoe salesman, but you can, in fact, find a good quality, new pair of dress shoes for around $100. We can go round and round with this stupid subject, but I can tell you with confidence that hardly any new regional first officer is going to take your advice and drop $300+ on a pair of shoes.
Don't waste your money on Eccos which are way overpriced for a through away shoe. If you're serious about quality and want to save money in the long run, buy shoes with leather soles and goodyear welts. If you're on a tight budget, buy a used pair on ebay. I can find a very nice new pair on ebay under $200. A resole with heels runs about $70. But hey, square toed rubber soled shoes go nice with pleated pants and cellphone belt clips if you're into they kind of stuff. |

Can you tell me how buying a $100 pair of shoes every couple of years is cheaper than buying a $300 pair once?

I guess good quality for me is different than good quality for you. Deer Stags Nu Times I wear a Timex, too. If you need to throw away money to make yourself feel better, please e-mail me. . |

Which do you use?
I'll never have to buy another suitcase in my life. Both have a few million miles behind them already, only had to use the lifetime warranty once and that was for a cosmetic issue. |

Mine pretty much fell apart after a few months in Arizona. The soles literally melted.
I tried the cheap but cheerful for a while, but decided even at work, the "high-dollar" way seems to work out well. |
