Can anyone recommend some nice, flat but supportive shoes please?

Now that the weather is getting nice I'm pretty much in flat ballet pumps to walk to and from work and I know that they're pretty bad for my feet, given that there is about one layer of cardboard between my feet and the ground

I don't want to ever be one of those women wearing a suit and trainers, and lots of the flats I've seen are quite granny chic

Can anyone recommend some cute flats which would be suitable to wear with work clothes but also nice and comfy and supportive?

Thank you!

really interesting thread, I was looking for comfy and pretty as I had an injury a while back so even when at a posh do, I need comfort. I was thinking about Geox but now I'm thinking to try the Shoe Therapy range. they look so nice but in the pictures, it's hard to believe there is that much relief in the soles...is there really? I did once have a gorgeous pair of Puma pumps that were like walking in trainers, wish I'd bought more pairs as I've not seen anything that good in terms of pretty + practical since.

Not sure if you can get these in the UK but these

www.dsw.com/shoe/mercanti+fiorentini+nubuck+penny+loafer?prodId=dsw12prod4610302&activeCategory=102874&category=dsw12cat2130004&activeCats=cat10006,dsw12cat2130004 are gorgeous.

Very comfortable, good support, no toe-crinkling going on, bright colours so not frumpy. I have the cobalt blue ones and love them.

Queen did the Shoe Therapy ones arrive and if so, your thoughts please.

I've had a couple of pairs of shoe therapy and really like them. In fact, about to invest in my third pair as pregnant again and my feet are suffering. They aren't quite a comfortable as trainers (my skechers go walk are better to wear all day) but they are very supportive and look good.

I'm between sizes in their ballerinas Hmm
Perhaps their other styles would be better for me.
I wish they'd do the leopard print again

Think I'll give ShoeTherapy a try. I might give them a ring re sizing. I'm normally a 4 and a half.

I'd size up then - they usually fit a bit small but the seraphine website has some advice on which styles fit smaller than others.
