Proper shoes and boots

I'm looking for a brand of footwear that makes anatomically correct leather shoes and boots that look modern and allow your foot, ankle, knee and hip to work as they should do. I do a lot of walking generally every day, but am not looking for typical walking boots etc.
Yep at that age !
Having said that, I would sacrifice health for beauty overall, I love my heels !

Fitflops do various ranges including shoes & boots. I have the original fitflops, they are really comfortable.

No, but Josef Seibel are really comfortable too. Think they are also German & a good bit cheaper than Fitflops.

I bought some Reiker 'pull on shoes' to wear with jeans a few years ago - they are quite stylish and these were light on my feet.
They were an impulse buy though and a bit too pointed in the toe so i sold them on Ebay for a good price too !

Companies that sell walking shoes/boots often measure feet and most seem to have a walk way to check for stability around foot, ankle, instep. i.e. Cotswold walking, also try a shop which sells running shoes and ask for advice on how a shoe should be built.

I have flat, wide arthritic feet and LOVE my Hotter shoes and boots! I've even got a couple of pairs of heels, something I never thought I would wear again (not high heels - only a couple of inches, but heels nevertheless). They are not cheap (the boots I have on today were £120!), but they last AGES and are SOOO comfortable.

I can never find shoes or boots to fit so wear stability trainers a lot. I need some proper boots to wear with a skirt or dress too. I have one 10 year old lace up Mephisto pair and a pair of sheepskin boots, that's all.
I have narrow feet and ankles and have some or other (forget name) progressive, painful condition of the underside of the toe that I inherited from my mum (who had a cupboard full of ill fitting shoes....
)
so I can't do leather soles or thin soles or after 5 mins it feels like lit cigarettes held against the underside of the toe, and I can't do wide shoes or boots.

I stopped wearing boots because they make my calves and feet cold
and I've had some smashing looking pairs in the past.
Walking shops do 'winter' boots, with fur in and everything

I was going to say Hotter too. I don't buy anything else now although I do have a couple of pairs of Moshulu.
Hotter are not cheap so I don't have a lot of pairs, one summer pair, one lace up walking shoe for winter, one pair of their trainers and a pair of boots, oh and a pair with kitten heels that I bought for daughter's wedding.
I would rather have a few pairs of Hotter than a cupboard full of cheaper shoes. They fit perfectly every time even with my bunion, and are made in England so no cheap labour being exploited
