Closed toe shoes for summer dresses

[Zooforhouse]

Hi,

I have a few midi type dresses to wear to work (usually wear trousers) but am not allowed open toe. It’s too hot for tights/boots, what can I put on my feet?

I had the birkenstock mules when I was a florist (not allowed open toes either) if you like that sort if thing. Otherwise there are a lot of pointy toed mules about or flat ballet style pointy flats with that french cut vamp?
I suppose the almond toed wedges a la K Middy are a bit old hat now but could you get away with a wedge espadrille - but quite casual, not very worky?

If I worked away from home these would be my choice.

shoe 2
I’ve got this in more than one colour

shoe 3

Any of these any good?

How about M&S woven sandals? Come in a few colours and would be good with dresses and let the air to your feet too?

I used to wear shoes very similar to StAndrews’ Clark’s Shoe 3 when I worked in an office with a no toes, no shoulders dress code but didn’t want to wear tights on hot days. Not the most fashion forward of choices, but fits the bill.

These are pretty but also worky and will be fairly airy for the summer.

I LOVE the Russel and Bromley ones, and the M&S and Boden ones too but not sure if I can get away with it (front line healthcare), but will be studying other peoples feet to see!

I’m not good with a heel unfortunately 😂

Thanks for suggestions

What about these? Also, try googling Madewell Flat Cecilia on Zalando. I can't seem to link it from the app.

I have been looking for a similar type of shoe. Thinking of getting these www.next.co.uk/style/st311915/910983#910983 from Next although they do look a bit like children's shoes.

I wanted these but they don't have them in my size. I'm guessing they wouldn't be amazing quality but I liked the shape.

I have a fair few Fly London closed toe shoes for summer. Most with a wedgey heel but some quite low.

We have the same rule and surface-of-the-sun inspired working temperatures and I’m in these www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/clogs/low-wood-in-black-on-brown-base.html

They are platform rather than a high heel - on my feet all day and a dedicated wearer of Sensible Shoes and they’re great.

How about some smart navy leather sneakers? I got some from LK Bennett and wore them every single day to work. Sole Bliss do them as well - not cheap but they look smart and are super comfortable.

I’ve also bought smart white leather trainers for my return to the office. I went for some classic Gola ones. My fashionable teenage daughter does not approve; I couldn’t care less.

M and S used to do lovely flat closed toe sandals in gorgeous colours - I had a pale rose pink pair I wore till they broke - I can't go on the tube in open toe sandals, men are always treading on your feet, but I've seen nothing as good for several years now - a bit like salt water sandals but with strips of leather covering the front of your foot 😭😭

These are on my list to buy when the weather gets cooler again!

I have the higher heel version in their open toe shoe and can confirm they are v comfy.

Search for slip on fabric trainers - everyone does them, generally have decent arch support, see sketchers for examples & they’re machine washable

Will’s has just launched these and they have a closed back version too. Very ethical and their shoes always get good reviews.

Saltwater originals are closed toe.

@ Bertiebiscuit - I have those M&S sandals in khaki, most comfortable sandals ever! They were my holiday sandals, haven't had any use for them lately Wish they'd being them back.

OP these are what you need. Clarks, comfortable, cover both your heel and toes but airy. Look professional.
