Flat shoes for work

[littlese]

Currently wearing ankle boots with midi dresses for work.
What flat shoes do you wear with midi dresses that are comfortable to walk in all day?

Last summer I walked to work in trainers then changed to heels but want to see if there are any smart ish flat shoes for work I could wear. Most look so frumpy!

I can’t wear flat shoes with dresses, I think they look all wrong and frumpy like you describe. I wear ballerinas with ankle grazer trousers, heels with dresses for work, sandals and flip flops with casual dresses

The word 'frumpy' is outdated, misogynistic nonsense. Flat shoes look great, with the added bonus of being able to walk.

I wear brogues, loafers or mary janes.

I wear DMs

Loafers. Very complicated. I find they offer more support than a ballet flat

Mary Janes

Not one man in your office will be worried that his comfortable work shoes are frumpy.

I wear flat shoes with dresses for work, loafer style for a bit more lift on the heel and better support than ballet pumps. Go for something chunkier if you want a younger look. A pp suggested DMs, a couple of the younger women in my office wear them with skirts and dresses.

Hmm might give loafers a try, I can't do ballet flats as I have a bunion

I love a pointed flat with no or very small heel
just bought these

Those are nice. Where are they from?

I also wear pointed flats with dresses or wedges.

The word frumpy is so fucking stupid.

I like pointed black flat sling backs.

@eurochick
they are Carolina Herrera from Bicester outlet

These ♥️

Thank you - I couldn't make out the logo. They are very nice.

Smart trainers or a runner shoe. Everyone wears them, male and female. Eg like a black leather runner with a white sole.

Flat pointed shoes always looks smart. Boden do some nice pairs

No offence but are you over 40? I find dress with heels tend to be older women. Even the young corporate professionals in London don’t really wear heels any more ime

I wear flat pointed with sling backs or ankle straps. Had a few nice pairs from River Island and ASOS. They look good with midis or trousers.

What sort of dresses op? That's an important factor !

I second the pointed flats/slingbacks. Check out Vionic or Clarks wide fit if you've got a bunion OP. It's important the point isn't too narrow at the widest part of your foot and that there's enough support/cushioning.

Will try flat pointed sling backs!

Flat shoes are not "frumpy" with dresses. Pointed flats in particular are not "frumpy"

I'm not sure if age is relevant but my work shoes are flats or low heeled Mary Janes , or Quaker buckle shoes. I defy anyone to say these shoes or the model in the picture look "frumpy'

Pretty Ballerina

No it isn't.

Converse

There's no such thing as a smart trainer.
