shoe shopping

I usually take so much time when I look for shoes. I really want something comfortable since I'm heavy and my feet take the beating when I do long walks. I would like to get those wide shoes for women since I've got wide feet and there are styles which don't really compliment my feet. I hope I get to find a nice pair for casual use as well as an elegant one for formal dresses. I would like to have a bit of elevation but I can't stand those pointy heels so I need to find one with a good comfortable base so I can withstand wearing it for a longer period f time.
