Wanna spoil your feet? Jump into a pair of anything ecco! I have a pair of New City Light Cap Toes that felt more comfortable out of the box than my totally broken in Cole Haans! Their sneaker styles are pretty weak, so keep it to dress shoes and you'll be stylin' in comfort ; )
As for the pricey part, just go on ebay--if you don't mind a pair used as a display, you just saved yourself $100. Oh yeah, if you're a 9 don't even think about it...I'll outbid your ass, j/k
