Flat shoes that look smart for work

[Wanderlustnearorfar]

Hi everyone I’m after some flat shoes that look smart for work,but offer support and are not super thin. I used to wear ballerina flat or pointy flats, but where I am on my feet all day I need something with a bit more cushioning, as I have quite sensitive feet and feel every little bump change of surface.im hoping this makes sense. Also Im A size 8 although have quite slim feet.please help I’ve been living in sketchers trainers and boots but now need some smarter options

I am in no way fashionable, so may be a total miss, but I just bought these which also come in patent.

I have started wearing brogues. Got a feminine pair from Aldo, so comfy.

@Coldhandscoldheart they could of been a contender however I can see no option for a size 8 the biggest size seems to be a 7 I shall continue the search thank you though

Dr Martens all the way. They have a few styles that are shoes as opposed to boots. Once broken in they are so comfortable and hard wearing. I like their mary-jane styles. I have crap feet and have worn Dr Martens for years, nothing compares IMO.

These are mega comfy

@ReflectiveGingernut I also worry my feet would look huge might need to try some on see how I feel. do they take long to break in?

@peachypetite I spotted a pair of brogues today in Sainsbury’s that looked nice.might order those and try them
Has anyone had shoes from Sainsbury’s are they comfy?

@ClientQueen oh my goodness that is exactly the sort of thing I’m after unfortunately (possibly with less of a sole) no size 8 in black will keep an eye out

Thank you all for your help so far

@Wanderlustnearorfar they feel virtually flat when they're on. Squishy sole too
And sorry, I bought the size 8!

I buy fit the fitflop shoes often walking 5+ miles in four hours up and down flights of stairs. Feet never feel tired and they look smart with ‘posh’ trousers and blouse. Not cheap, but they do have sales.

These are so comfy. They're available in loads of colours too.

What’s your budget? You mentioned you like ballerinas and these are ballerina shoes with a trainer sole. They go up to an 8.

I bought Chelsea boots from Sainsbury’s and they’ve been great, lasted really well and are super comfy. Not tried their shoes.

I bought my third pair of Hamble Oaks from Clarkes. I wear them a lot hence getting through two pairs before now. Recommended by a colleague originally. I wear a 7 and don’t feel they make my feet look big which can be the case with some shoes. Available up to size 9 and in three different versions I think. I’ve always found them to be comfy from first wear as well.

If you like Skechers, the shoes go up to a size 8. They do a few smart flat pairs.

Tr y marks and Spencer. They have several pairs of very comfortable flat / very slight heel. Long wearing and perfect fit. The ones I like are footglove

I'd love to know too :-)

Sorry I didn’t even look at the sizes.
Tesco do something similar too and I think last time I looked they didn’t have my size, but did have an 8, but my memory might be playing me false.

another vote for the hamble oak brogues from Clark. super comfy, look very smart and make the feet look smallish. I am a 7 and these are by far my 'smallest' shoes.

For ballerina type shoes, try Gabor. Very expensive but very comfy and last for a long time.

I have these. A bit dull, but super comfortable.

I have these.

I’ve just brought some fit-flop shoes (from TK maxx), and they are so comfortable.

My other work shoes are all from Clarks. Shoes are always worth spending out on.

Aldi are good, as are Clarks, Reiker
