Work shoes...these, these or these?

[Justkoko]

Been on a bit of a hunt for smart casual work (office) shoes. Never bought from Urban Outfitters before, does anyone know about the quality? Undecided which style to go for. Already have Dr Martens Adrian but wondered about a change. They can feel very clumpy sometimes, albeit very comfy.
I usually wear ankle grazer trousers or jeans or black opaque tights with mini skirts.

I like the Boden ones best but I can't buy Boden shoes at all as they are a bit narrow

The Mary Janes by a mile. I don't know what the quality of Urban Outfitters is like but to my eyes they're much nicer than the loafers.

Biden are nicest out of your choices imho

Personally I think Urban Outfitters nicest looking
Then Boden
Then Jones
Then martens

I love the Mary Jane ones. That whole look is fantastic.

Hands down Boden, more striking, less cumbersome.

Oh interesting! I do like the mary janes, a bit different without being clunky or child like. I did like the martens version but they are just too much like school shoes!
Least favourite are probably the jones ones, maybe I'm just a bit bored of loafers even though they are perfectly nice.

Urban Outfitters ones are lovely. They others all look a bit “school shoe” to me.

I'd say jones look the most versatile.

I like boden's too.

St martens look too clunky to me.

I like the Bodens followed by the Dr Martens ones.

Have you looked at Geox https://www.geox.com/en-GB/woman/shoes/loafers/?gl=116znlxcxcupMQ...gs*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQiA7NO7BhDsARIsADgghIZLCicUWSAOhNicxAZ0n9jkboFt2qVHtm8if8cvdxGjkS10m5L2CZsaAu7bEALwwcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&pos=21

Boden shoes are narrow ( I don't like the style you've linked)
Docs quality isn't what it was, so expensive fashion shoes
Jones are quite narrow too, the ones you've linked are ok
The Mary Jane's I really like , but I would want to see them in person because I'm not familiar with brand.
Obviously this is just my opinion.
Geox? Ecco? Pavers shoes sometimes has some nice shoes and boots ( lots I really don't like, but have had a few good finds)

The Mary Janes look like a primary school uniform shoe to me. Obviously depends on your work environment and expectations. Russell and Bromley and Stuart Weizmann do good loafers. I still wear a pair I bought 28 years ago.

I already own the dr martens and they are well worn in so a bit like Slippers now. The Jones are very tight around the top, I think they'll hurt my heels. I'm standard 5 in just about anything. They will go back. The mary janes feel pretty nice and comfy, solid rubber sole and leather upper, I like them more than I thought I would. I like the boden but not tried them on yet. Considering the price difference, UO is winning atm!

I'm terribly practical - Mary Jane straps will stop your feet getting planter fascitis.

The issue with loafers is that in summer feet get hot and therefore bigger and the leather is too stiff to stretch. A softer leather won't provide the support across the top.

If you don't walk a lot then might be okay.

These are spendy but also nice:

See now I think those look like kids primary school shoes, way more than the OPs ones do.

Start rite! I'm being serious they have proper leather quality footwear Shoes
(Angry angels is bleurgh as branding though)

Toast have similar , the strap is closer to the ankle & white stitching and way more money! Shoes

Love Mary Janes! Those UO ones are lovely.

Loafers are awful. Mary Jane's every time.

The Jones ones are gorgeous. I don't love the others.

Agree.

The first pair are hideous, the Biden ones are nicer than all the others.
