I answered the poll as to my preference, style. Love love love shoes. I still have a dozen or so that I know I'll never wear but refuse to part with.
I have an advanced case of plantar fasciitis that has me screaming in pain if I wear a pair of shoes that looks good and is comfortable. I used to wear one of several pair of custom orthotics with shoes, but this wasn't helping any, so through trial and error and several doctors, I've finally found that one basic style works best for me.
They pretty much have to be not very attractive in order for me to wear them. It took some years for me to get over the idea of stylish pretty shoes, and now my comfort is all that matters to me.
