Nice but comfortable shoes

I WFH so mostly wear slippers and if going out of a weekend it's been sandals or boots. Now I have volunteered to do some charity work which is at a deluxe venue where the diners have paid £150 plus per head for dinner, entertainment and raffle auction etc.

Dress code for ticket holders is black tie but for me can be more casual, I will be hosting a table and running round selling raffle tickets. It's from 10am to 4pm so I need some comfortable shoes that will not kill my feet when worn all day.

Black, flat or with a small heel I guess, to be worn with knee length dresses and opaque tights.

I know there are no guarantees but I have loafers, boots if all shapes and lengths ballet flats and none of them would go 8 hours without pain. Budget less than £150.00 quid. I. Size 4 sometimes 4 .5 thank you

I've loads of pairs of ballet flats, how do these differ? It is the foot bed that stops the aching? They are nice but I am looking for something more dressy, maybe like the dancers where on strictly, so a heel with support from straps to look good with a wiggle dress or similar.

FitFlops are incredibly comfy. They have some sort of cushioning, but also support the surround of your foot in a way that just padding can't do.

Why don't you visit a specialist dance shop and try some dance shoes. They are very soft.

Great idea to visit a dance shop. I found a site last night called stand all day or something I'll get the link. Ordered two pairs.
