SHOES - what do you wear for work, especially if you have to do a lot of walking?

because I just can't get it right

I know some people wear trainers to get to work then change into smart shoes but I'll never get the logistics of that right (especially remembering to take the trainers home)

I have one pair of heels that are very comfortable but I don't wear them if it's raining (otherwise my feet get wet) and tbh, I don't want to wear them all the time because I'll just wear through them (and my feet find being in heels all the time a bit tiring).

So I change between those and ankle boots and flat shoes but my feet are absolutely ACHING today from all the pounding. I have started looking at those 'comfort' M&S shoes and stroking them though I'm sure they are designed for 70 year olds with arthritic feet (the heels are from that range but are surprising fashionable!).

So what do you wear? Where am I getting it wrong?

these but I am outside most of the time

oh those look comfy...don't they get done in in the rain?

Boots. All women wear boots here.

no they are waterproof

in deep mud/water occasionally an icy trickle can be felt where the zip is at the back but it magically wicks away

they are probably not quite what you had in mind though

i wear boot mainly or a fab pair of Clarkes

Wear flat boots to work then change into shoes. Wear boots home again.

Keep a spare pair of shoes at work in your desk drawer.

I have had to resort to Clarks. smart but comfy.

oh iota that's inspired

so I should keep smart heels at work...then trot back and forth in comfy but smart boots

think I could manage that

I had a nightmare in summer last year when I couldn't wear boots any more. There just seem to be so few comfy but smart normal shoes as opposed to boots iyswim.

oh I now mainly wear Clarks really....it's a sign of age maturity I'm sure
