women's work shoes?
Will be an SA this summer. What kind of shoes do you/women in your office wear? Not the biggest fan of flats as I have bad plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis.

Since no one else has chimed in yet; maybe I can help. Not a woman; but have seen variety of footwear including flats I believe
I have seen heels and other shoes as well if those are more your style/comfort
props to the women who go into the office wearing heels, I couldn't last an hour esp those little tiny ass 5 inch stilettos
Also male, but I just went around and looked at the women's shoes in my office for you (n=5), they ranged from flats to vans to small heels. In general as long as it looks professional 95% of the men in your office won't care/notice.
vans? i'm jealous. And yeah makes sense, will prob have to invest good $ in a pair of flats that don't destroy my feet
We're less formal at the moment as the office is only at 20% capacity, probably won't see vans once we're back in full swing.
I don't believe you. Can you post some pics?
Not sure how to help with the plantar fasciitis aspect, but some brands I like are Margaux (flats), M Gemi (for pretty much everything - flats, heels, mules, sandals, sneakers, booties) and Stuart Weitzman (heels, booties). I think Gucci loafers are comfortable and get a lot of use out of mine. I also have a few pairs of Birdies that are very comfortable and have more cushion, so you may like those. For more affordable options, Sam Edelman and Marc Fisher are also solid brands with a lot of variety. Personally, I prefer heels over flats but you won’t get judged for not wearing them. It’s also very common to commute in more comfortable shoes or sneakers and change into nice shoes at the office.

I typically walk to work in sneakers if I’m hitting the gym before/after (makes gym bag lighter) or wear slip on fashion sneakers (I swear by Vinces) and change in heels. Ann Taylor has great heels that are super comfortable, easy to walk in, and pretty reasonably priced. They also have great Black Friday sales so I stock up once a year. Even if you go out for lunch or happy hour, I’ll change my shoes back which is the norm in my office (or maybe I just dgaf...)
My girlfriend does the whole sneakers to work thing and gucci/SF flats or heels in the office. Don't do louboutin unless you're going out lol as it gives off a much needed but not office appropriate party vibe
noooo i can't do tall heels bc of my foot injuries. Also as a broke intern i can't afford them lmaooo
Flats / sneakers for the commute into the office and then small heels (always patent black) that I put on once I get there. I swear by nine west heels.... Affordable, durable, and fashionable.
I wear loafers or low block pump heels since both still look professional yet are comfy.
