Flat office shoes for flipper feet

10 replies

LostWithoutDottyP · 22/05/2024 00:11

Can anyone please recommend ideally a UK shop or otherwise mail order for smart flat shoes pretty much in the shape of a flipper- wide and roomy (deep) across toes and not coming into a point? Like the toe shape of crocs, or rocketdog jazzin (pictured) but a complete leather shoe, not open at toe or heel, eg ballet flat or loafer style ? Budget under £100 (cheaper is great). Thank you.

I'd say Hot Chocolate shoes are perfect and I find them incredibly comfortable. However they are not leather although I personally prefer that about them anyway. Follow the sizing advice on their website and you can't go wrong.

Camper flats are the right shape but over budget. If you are size 5 or under you can buy their girls’ shoes for cheaper?

Thank you for the term flipper feet - I've described mine as duck feet for years but I think the image of a duck causes confusion.

Sorry I'm late coming back to the thread, very excited to have recommendations I'd never heard of to explore, thank you so much.

@TheYearOfSmallThings welcome to flipper club. It's all about appreciating what we have- these feet may be hard to shoe but I'm sure they must give us an advantage in swimming!

I’ve got Softinos and wear them instead of sneakers, but they’d do for casual office wear. There’s a wide range of colours. I wear them because they are really, really soft, but support my twisty ankles. But they also have a really rounded toe, so I’ve avoided the charming toe corns my Converse give me if I walk too far in them.https://www.softinos.co.uk/womens/isla

Try Hobibear on Amazon. I’ve only bought their canvas type ones so far but a friend has a “leather” pair that look great

Happy Little Soles has a good range of foot shaped shoes.

If you want something more elegant and foot shaped have a look at Shapen: https://www.shapenbarefoot.com

I live in Vivobarefoot shoes and bought my faves lace ups in three colours, but my mum thinks they look like Ecco shoes 🙄😂 I swear I'm only early 40s.

I'd recommend going to a shop if you can, or doing the online exercise (print off a chart on A4 basically) to get the right size.

Just to update for the benefit of flipper club members looking for inexpensive options, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and price in New Look, thanks for the suggestion, and also discovered that Yours offer very cheap pumps in multiple colours in a triple E width which are refreshingly deep.
