Flat shoes that look smart for work

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

Im also seeking flatish work shoes but everything ive seen seem to be best worn with trousers I have to wear a dress at work. I like girly shoes have a high arch also sensitive feet. marks and spencers shoes are most uncomfortable to me hard inner soles.
out of work I live in sketchers they are the best for comfort but again not with suit dresses.
ive found some lovely ones on amazon but without trying on not sure as difficult to return stuff no printer, wish they would send out return labels with goods. look online at pavers some of their shoes go up to a size 8. good luck with your search.

I wear M&S loafers. Think they were about £50, but they’re really comfy and go with trousers or dresses.

These are my most worn pair of work shoes, I’ve had them 3 years now and they still look new. They’re very supportive and comfortable. They also do them in a brogue version that my sister bought and later gave to me, they’re great too!

I’m a teacher and they get lots of complements at work and I rarely get a minute to sit down and my feet never hurt at the end of the day.

@Barney60 when I return to Amazon, I request a QR return code and I use a Hermes drop off point at my local newsagents. The code is on my phone, I scan it at the in-store printer, label comes out, pop it on the parcel I’m sending back, hand to the cashier and it’s done - takes couple of minutes at most.
