What shoes do you guys wear to work? I know they have to be both stylish and comfortable, but is there such a thing? Each time I buy a new pair of work shoes, they always dissapoint (except for wedges, come to think of it...) Post pics of your favorite work shoes and tell us where you got em!

I'm looking for a pair myself. I haven't tried wedges. I currently wear ballet flats but I'm getting a bit tired of them.

I wear a lot of Nine West and Steve Madden, mostly heels. Those brands support my feet very well. I have some Nine West wedges that are SO comfortable. I don't wear a lot of flats because I have become very used to height...

Motorcycle boots. If you get a good high quality pair and keep them nice and shiny you can wear them with a mess of stuff.

Besides wedges and ballet flats, I wear these SUPER UGLY shoes that I bought out of sheer desperation...I was working one of my first shifts at MAC and my feet were on fire...literally...I could not concentrate because of the sheer pain. I hightailed it to JC Penney and saw these incredibly ugly shoes with the most incredibly cuhioned insoles I have ever felt. They feel like pillows on your feet. I can do 9 - 10 hours with these on and not have the slightest twinge of pain. I only wear them when my pants are really long and cover everything but the toes. Here's a pic (you've been warned - they are UUUUGGGGLLLLYYY!! Mine are black and without the strap across the top of the shoe):

A big second for 9 West wedges. I can go all day and all night in those. They have some cute styles, too.

I hobbled over to JC Penney on my lunch break (thankfully, it's right next to the Nordstroms) and saw these incredibly ugly shoes with the most incredibly cuhioned insoles I have ever felt.

they aren't ugly as such.. they just aren't super trendy. they are a classic style.

i used to wear a similar looking pair for bar work (i worked in a club where we had to wear "nice" shoes, not trainers) and they were the comfiest shoes ever! if you aren't required to be really trendy these are a go.

i have two words when having to wear heels for long periods: party feet! best invention ever. i have them in all of my heels.

I use Foot Petals in all my heels. They are great padding and don't wear out too quickly. In full coverage flats, I like Birkenstock inserts. Also, I have never been able to try them, but Royal Elastics have really cute sporty flats.

Ballet flats in really soft leather, Chuck Taylors, flat riding-style boots.

No way can I do a squillion hours in anything but flats. For the birds, man.

If anyone finds any cute, comfy shoes with heel let me know too!
I wear running shoes...they're really comfortable, a little funky, but actually pretty ugly on my feet

It's the rounded toe and the flatness that I don't like..., it's a shame all the uncomfortable things make my feet look so good...
I'm a bar waitress btw, so I know I need a really comfortable pair...

I might just give up and start wearing my cowboy boots and buy a cushy insole

My absolute favourite work shoes are my black leather flat riding boots from J. Crew. I can wear them with pretty much anything except for dressy pants. And I can work a long shift in them without any pain!

Those red Steve Madden's are amazing and the polka dots inside are killin' me. I don't think I could stand all day in em though

Thanks so much for the scoop on the creepers, when I buy some I'll go for those

I live in heels. And I'm a self proclimed shoe-whore. That's the first thing I look at when I go shopping... Except for fridays, then it's my super comfy way cute DVS skate shoes that the boyfriend bought me.

does anyone know of a good place to buy flats/ballet flats for work? i work at nordstroms and walk around all day so wearing heels would just kill my feet.
