If you don't wear heals and dresses, and like socks (not short trousers) what SHOES do you wear to work?

I want to change my smart casual work wear game.
I usually wear trainers (Air Force, Air Max, high dunks, NB) with jeans or trousers. But want to start wearing shoes. I've had brogues in the past, but feel a little dated now.

What shoes do you wear to work?

Brogues (they're so classic can never be dated - I wear Embassy London ones in bright colours). And ankle length boots - both heeled and flat. Also the Veja Nova canvas ones look quite smart for a trainer.

Trainers. White Russell and Bromley. But thinking about loafers. I miss heels and am frustrated I can’t wear them any more.

Still in brogues- have classic black/ stone/grey, but my dark gold ones go with loads of stuff. I also like loafers if I don't have my ankle boots on.

Ankle boots or flats, both with a soft point. I often wear trainers to the office though

Have you looked at The Office of Angela Scott brand? I like their monkstrap shoes and their Oxfords, in fact any of the flatter shoes really. They are lovely quality too.

Ankle boots

I wear ankle boots, trainers or brogues. I don't think they're dated but if they are, so what. There seems to be tons of them around.

I have Dr Marten Adrian loafers, and am just sitting here thinking about getting the chunkier version.

CouldIHaveThatInEnglishPlease · 03/03/2023 06:52

Chelsea boots are my shoe of choice right now. When it’s warmer I wear loafers or sandels

ExiledElsie · 03/03/2023 07:54

Rocket dog plimsolls. I'd like something a bit more shoe like but am not a fan of leather.

wildseas · 03/03/2023 07:56

I wear long boots over smart jeans or trousers

bonjello · 03/03/2023 08:00

Pavers do some boring office shoes I usually wear them

SameOldJunk · 03/03/2023 09:41

Brogues also here

SlipperClub · 03/03/2023 09:53

Black dr marten boots or biker style boots, that I got from asos.

SnowAndFrostOutside · 03/03/2023 10:03

I used to wear Doc Martens but have swapped to trainers.

IjustbelieveinMe · 03/03/2023 10:05

White platform trainers or boots like these

Ankle boots, some old Converse passed on by DD, loafers.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 03/03/2023 10:08

Doc Martens for most of the year and Cons for very hot days. I am not allowed to wear sandals on my work site.

TruthRevolution · 03/03/2023 10:10

Doc Marten boots or converse boots.

Dontsayyouloveme · 18/05/2023 16:40

Loafers!

jay55 · 18/05/2023 17:00

Like these but with a cross of elastic not the buckle strap.
