With classes spread out across campus, students sometimes have to walk miles just to get around. If you arm yourself, however, with a good pair of shoes, the walk can be a pleasant stroll instead of a painful trek that spawns blisters and cuts.
Many students flip flop around campus in low maintenance thongs or throw on a comfy pair or favorite pair of sneakers. Even if comfort is your top priority when you choose your pair of shoes, try not to pair anything open-toed with socks. Also refrain from wearing tall socks with sneakers.
Whether it's practicality, looks or comfort that drives your feet during the school day, if the shoe fits your personality and purposes, wear it!

He has had these lace-ups for three or four years and can't remember where he bought them. He loves to pair them up with khakis.

Cindy Nam
Psychology graduate student
She said she can still walk comfortably in this pair of Steve Maddens because they're more platform than pointy, wobbly stilettos.

Tony Barrasso

He got these Rainbow flip-flops at Landmark on East University Boulevard. He loves how quickly and easily he can slip into them.

The wood bottoms on these shoes from Wisconsin aren't easy on her feet, but she toughs it out anyway.
