How to branch out from wearing trainers ALL the time?

Just looking for a bit of inspiration for an everyday shoe that's not a trainer. I live in my New Balance 574s, if I'm not wearing them it's a pair of Converse. I'm 29 and feel like I would like to wear something a bit "nicer" than just a trainer all the time, I do feel that it lets my outfits down sometimes. My issue is I hate shoe shopping and always have!

I've been looking at loafers and ballet flats but just feel they're so out of my comfort zone. I tried Birkenstock Bostons on but hated how big my feet looked.

Any recommendations for your everyday shoes that aren't trainers?

Almost of my shoes are from here. They don't just do ballet flats. I don't own trainers.

I love my trainers as well, but I've recently started wearing these and have got then in a few colours as they've been in the sales...the green are gorgeous and I get loads of compliments on them, and they are mega comfy. They look great with socks as well, which is a must for me.
