I am badly in need of a new pair of shoes.
I usually buy Bostonian shoes because they are pretty comfortable.
But the one I am wearing is starting to feel like it is cutting off the blood supply to my feet.


So here is my question...What kind of workplace shoes do you guys normally wear?
What is the most comfortable and non-casual pair of shoes you have ever worn?

However, when I was younger I seem to remember Hush Puppies being really comfortable.

White socks would be unprofessional. I wear black or brown depending on my slacks.

Rockports are comfy and stylish, as are Steve Maddens.

Those are the only 2 brands I'll buy for work.

Velcro? Yuck ... far too much effort. For casual dress I won't wear any shoe unless it's made by Royal Elastics. I have a few pairs but my favourite at the moment is this:
