Shoes that are nice and comfortable

I have arthritis in both feet, as well as bunions (hereditary, had one removed and it came back with a vengeance). I can't wear any type of heel because of the pain. My feet also cut very easily. I permanently have either a blister or a scab on at least one of my feet. I currently also have bruises on two of my toe nails because my feet are such an awkward shape, shoes bruise them. I generally wear trainers or flat boots, these hurt my feet the least, but I really want something a bit nicer. Something I can wear for upcoming job interviews I hope to have, and also something just a bit nicer and less clunky to go with my summer clothes. And something to suit my age, I'm 32. Any ideas? I have no budget in mind, but I'd spend more for something that didn't hurt and looked good.

In your position I would start by finding a specialist shop who understand difficult feet and will do a long trying-on session with you. Then, once you've found a selection of shoes that won't damage your feet or cause you further pain, you can pay more attention to the various styles and see which ones you like the most aesthetically. (I could recommend a chain if you're in or near Scotland.)

I'm disabled and always buy Clark's
They do lots of styles in wide fit and in really soft leather
Mary Jane styles are good as you can adjust the fit
I also have a size difference but not an issue as long as the shoe has enough depth
