Work shoes that aren’t trainers

[aracena]

I am trying to find the elusive work shoe that is as comfortable as trainers…
I like these - really wanted to keep them as perfect olive colour - but I have really narrow feet and the laces just don’t tie up far enough so they slip up and down with every step! No good for teaching…any suggestions? They need to be light, thick soles, laces and if possible olive green!! https://www.clarks.com/en-gb/torhill-bee/26184586-p?awaid=2515&utm_source=awin&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Redbrain&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22945519880&gbraid=0AAAAADA7Q_JAcrbHUGWi_Hq0WfZjIcfCm&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjPX95rWCkAMVxpJQBh21ugTFEAQYASABEgLP2_D_BwE

Until I saw you work in a school, I was going to suggest you looked at school shoes ! They often have different width options and many styles are smart but inside padded like trainers for those kids who have long walks to school and back. But as you work in a school, you run the risk of hearing “oh miss you have the same shoes as Izzy/Elly/Olivia!” And cause social death for that poor girl.

Obviously if you are the cool teacher everyone wants to be like when they grow up, go for it. (Also works if you work in early years and/or an all boys school.)

These might not be the green ( or indeed the style) you are looking for, but the are very comfortable. Various other colours available via Amazon, eBay outlet and other online retailers
