Hey Fishes
Can anyone share Mutual Fund schemes in their Portfolio?
I am a newbie and planning to start investing via SIP's in MF ( Around 4-5 SIP's of 10k each)
Thanks in advance.

I like Naturalizers - just the simple black wedge heel! Comfortable and professional
Just bought my first pair and their extremely comfortable and cute.
I know it sounds weird, but I just got a pair of dr scholls loafers and they’re great.
In general, regular flats don’t provide enough support. Go for loafers, oxfords, etc
Have you thought about getting custom inserts or something by Dr Scholl’s? Thinking of going this route myself. Many flats are simply too flat for me after a while. Arches need the support and I don’t want to wear heels all the time either.
Try Tieks. Cute, comfortable, and they travel well
Agreed they hurt my feet
I've found Sam Edelman flats to provide good support, especially for the ball of the feet. They've become a must - have in my collection.
I love them, but they have no structure at all
I’d look at inserts. Kind of by definition any flats that look cute/delicate wont have any real support.
Also second the comments here about getting more substantial loafers. Those are much more likely to support your feet at least in my experience

I swear by Sam Edelman Lorraine loafers. No blisters, plenty of arch support, come in tons of colors and patterns and are a good Gucci dupe, too. Always a handful of colors on sale on their site as well.
Margaux
Ferragamos with custom inserts if needed. May consider the short heeled Vara vs a true flat. According to my podiatrist, more than you would think should not be wearing a true flat and could benefit from a small lift in the back.
Repetto if they sell them in the US. They have a background as a ballet shoe maker so they are beautifully crafted and very comfortable. Their loafers have been my go-to for years, though they need resoling every now and again.
This is gonna sound crazy, but I love Melissa ballet flats. If you get them in matte black, they don’t look like rubber & are pretty cute. Have gotten many compliments on them. They have a really thick sole & a padded insole.
Note: I mostly wear them when it rains, but recently have worn them a few times in non-rain
Rockport makes some flats with great support.
Try ARA
Tods or Viajiyu are what I like... haven’t tried M Gemi, but have a friend who likes them.
I don’t love the classic ballet flats, but I like the options from this brand Bobbies.com highly recommend, good quality and cute original shoes
Frankie4 Footwear - Australian brand designed by a podiatrist and physical therapist for memory. They are amazing and ship intentionally!
Allbirds just released flats this year...they are more comfortable and supportive than Rothys imo.

Inserts! I buy Birkenstock inserts (the blue footbed ones), which are small enough to fit in all my flats. They’re not cheap but saved my feet :)
