Shoes to disguise big feet?

I wonder if anyone could recommend a style of shoe which is suitable for work (business dress but not office based) which is flat, ideally protects your foot as I’m clumsy and doesn’t make my feet look like big long boats? They are size 7 so proportional to my 5’9 but they just look so giant! Or perhaps I’m buying the wrong style of trouser or skirt may be better but tbh I generally have to buy what I can get which fits my legs and doesn’t show any crack when bending at work Blush fashionistas, please advise!

My choice would be a brogue

N.B. Size 7 at your height is hardly huge (I'm similar height and have size 6.5 feet, i have a good friend who is only 5'3" with size 7 feet!)

Not a fashionista but size 8 and 5'7
Genuinely never saw a woman and thought "gosh her feet are long" but I do find converse make my feet look gigantic (still maintain probably only I notice and so I wear them anyway).
I only wear flats and wear these in summer with skirts and shorter trousers. Maybe too casual but super comfortable.

Not sure if they are disguised!

Just about to add I wear brogues usually with trousers.
Maybe I am a fashionista after all!

I'm a size 7 and used to worry about my feet looking big. I spent years wearing uncomfortable 6.5s after a comment someone made when I was an awkward teenager Confused... but I honestly don't think anyone else cares or notices. I also know women with bigger sizes and they look perfectly normal and in proportion.

I'm a 7.5 and live in clarks brogues for work, well I used to when I went to the office.

I have size 9 feet and I'm only 5'3 so I feel mine are huge. Following this thread 😊
