It sounds sort of funny, but there are so many reasons to stand all day, whether you prefer a raised desk at the office; are constantly on the go, taking meetings all over your city; or traveling often, and for long periods of time. The need for stylish and comfortable walking shoes to get you from point A to point B is crucial, which is why we’ve curated a list of comfy heels and work shoes that provide support and durability.
Of course, this all comes down to footwear construction – no matter how much we can appreciate an eye-catching upper. Many of the shoe brands on this list are well-known for their science-backed insole designs, including Marion Parke, started by a podiatrist and foot surgeon-turned-designer; and Vivaia, a sustainable label turning recycled plastic water bottles into machine washable shoes with a honeycomb cushioned footbed.
We kept a wide range of styles, budgets, and needs in mind when building this shopping list, so whether you’re more of a demure-leaning ballet flats person or a ’90s grunge connoisseur, there will be a pair of shoes here for you. Ahead, shop the full list, from a top-selling option by Tory Burch to a luxe knee-high boot this writer swears by.
