10 Office-Friendly Shoes That Are Actually Comfortable

May 28, 2018

Fit for any type of work environment.

A comfortable, sturdy pair of work-appropriate shoes is as essential to your wardrobe as a suit is. After all, these are what you spend the majority of your time wearing—they better be as comfortable as possible. Look for pairs with solid construction, a forgiving footbed, and an aesthetic you won't grow out of. Here are 10 great ones.

Plain Toe Derby

These Docs are a little bit of a thicker, more playful derby than you might be used to, but that's exactly what makes them look so interesting—and less stuffy than standard dress shoes. Note these do take a few wears to form to your foot, but they're all levels of comfortable once they do.

More casual than a dress shoe, but more professional than a true desert boot. Wear these in business casual work environments.

Perhaps most notable in M.Gemi's summer loafers is the flexible sole. It makes sure your feet don't feel stiff, regardless of what you're doing. Plus, these double as good summer wedding shoes.

Suede Chelsea Boots

Not all work environments require a standard dress shoe, but you should still wear something polished. A no-frills suede Chelsea boot (which needs no breaking in, mind you) is a good way to do it.

Classic Oxford

Feit's oxfords redefine what your work shoe has to look like. It's a familiar shape, but with completely modern detailing—a one-piece leather upper, tight lacing system, and stacked heel.

Red Wings are officially good for wearing all year round. These low work oxfords have the familiar aesthetic of the boots, but with a slightly more professional feel.

Suede Monk Strap

You really can't beat the quality of a Tod's shoe. The leather (and entire construction, really) is so soft, you'll never want another dress shoe.

TOM FORD

Orford Sneakers

Your workspace might allow for sneakers, which is great. Just make sure you're opting for something more polished than a hyper-functional running shoe—these suede ones from Tom Ford, for example.

Pebble Grain Longwing Brogues

Allow Thom Browne to do what he does best: Make damn good clothes. The black brogues are a great forever, pair if you're in the market for an investment.
