Women’s Work Shoes

Block heels offer stability and comfort for all-day wear - aim for 2-3 inch heights for the best balance of style and comfort. Loafers provide excellent comfort with their flat design and supportive structure. If you prefer height, platform styles distribute weight more evenly than traditional heels. Look for key comfort features like memory foam insoles, breathable materials, and flexible soles. Shoes with slightly rounded toes will also feel much better than pointed styles when you're standing or walking for hours.

If you're on your feet all day, consider cushioned flats or ballet flats, which provide much-needed support. Trainers with sleek, professional designs are also a great option for those seeking comfort and flexibility. For added comfort, look for shoes with padded heels and arch support to reduce pressure. Remember, comfort doesn’t have to come at the expense of style – it’s all about finding the right balance.

Classic pumps in neutrals work well with everything from tailored pants to pencil skirts for that no-fuss professional look. Loafers bring a touch of polish to cropped trousers or midi skirts without the pain of heels. For something more current, throw on some block-heel ankle boots with a midi dress or wide-leg pants. Ballet flats save the day when paired with tailored dresses or cigarette trousers. When it's freezing out, knee-high boots under long skirts or with dresses and tights keep you looking put-together without freezing your legs off.

Whether you go for classic black leather or something with a bit of texture, they’re a solid winter choice. Throw on a cosy knit or a warm wool coat, and you’ve got a look that’s comfy, super stylish, and perfect for the colder months!

Get in the habit of quickly wiping down your work shoes each night - it takes 30 seconds but makes them last twice as long. Jump on scuffs right away with matching polish or a scuff eraser before they become permanent. For suede, a proper suede brush works wonders to refresh the texture. Always use shoe trees or even balled-up tissue paper when you're not wearing them - it keeps their shape intact. Switch between different pairs rather than hammering the same shoes day after day.

For leather shoes, use a gentle cleaner and conditioner to maintain their shine and prevent cracks. If your shoes are looking a little worn, consider adding a protective spray to keep them water-resistant. Regularly check the soles for any wear and tear, and replace them if needed to avoid causing further damage. Finally, don’t forget to let them air out after each wear to keep any unwanted odours at bay.
