7 Stylish Women Share Their Most Comfortable (and Chicest) Work Shoes

I’ll be the first to admit than when it comes to shoes, I tend to favour cute and pretty over anything practical. But as a full-time mum and a full-time fashion editor, these days, I have no time to waste on blistered heels, swollen toes, and aching arches—especially when it comes to my everyday work shoes. Between commutes, press days, meetings, and after-work events, what I really want is a chic pair of shoes that are not only good-looking but equally comfortable. It seems I’m not the only one who desires these kinds of shoes. The number one fashion question I get asked from my friends, from readers, and through Instagram is what shoes they should buy that are comfy yet still trendy and chic—particularly when it comes to travel and work.
Curious to see what other fashion-forward women are wearing on their feet to work, I tapped into six stylish women in the fashion industry for the shoes they swear by. Scroll below for a little something to suit every sartorial taste, and shop the most comfortable work shoes out there.

"I found that I wore Aeydē's black pointed-toe Sylvie mules so much last year that I quickly bought another pair just in case they were never made again. They're the perfect fall shoe, they are insanely comfortable to wear (top-quality Italian manufacturing plus a mid-height heel are to thank), and because they're quite simple, they tend to match almost any outfit. This particular style is now low in stock (see? I was right to buy twice), but there are some similar versions available both from this brand and other footwear labels."

TyLynn Nguyen: Designer Creative Entrepreneur
Harling Ross: Fashion Director Brand Strategist, Man Repeller
"I wear these Margaux's classic ballet flats to work all the time because they're comfortable and look good with everything from ripped-knee jeans to structured dresses. I have them in the cerulean color (shout-out to Miranda Priestly), and I love that they offer a bit more aesthetic spice than your classic black or brown shoe option."
