10 Comfortable Heels You Can Wear For Work
When we think of high heels we think of date night and sore feet. But heels can be practical for the work environment too. Here we will list ten different comfortable heels that are suitable for work so you can look stylish, yet professional!
1. Rounded Toe Pumps
Often rounded toe shoes are easier to stand and walk in all-day than a pointed toe shoe; we have 5 toes, not one long pointy one. The shorter heel on this shoe will also have you feeling less wobbly and less likely to fall and twist an ankle, especially if wearing heels is a new, daunting challenge on top of that new job. The faux black leather gives this a professional, classic look that would pair nicely with slacks or a pencil skirt.

2. Peep Toe Ankle Boots
Ankle booties have been all rage because they’re so cute and work with virtually any outfit! The peep toe style especially adds that extra flair to your ensemble, showing off your beautiful pedicure. The thicker heel on this style of ankle boot also provides more support than a spikey heel. Grab a pair of these in a neutral color to pair with most work-appropriate outfits and still rock this shoe for a night out. Versatility is important!

3. Faux Suede Ankle Boot
Back to black. The classic. Boots with heels are so much more comfortable than just your regular heel! They provide more support to your ankles, arches, and knees, and are easier to find if your feet run smaller. Ankle boots have been super trendy, and the suede or faux suede style is no exception. They’re sleek, sexy and go with any professional attire. They can easily be dressed up, or down, work great for interviews and long days in the office. As comfortable heels go, these should be in your top five.

4. Peep Toe Sandal
Not all comfortable heels for work need to be slick, black leather pumps and many work environments are pretty casual in their attire. Consider a peep toe wedge sandal. Usually in a beige or tan color scheme, but could be found in black, they’re neutral and could compliment an array of color palettes for your work outfits. Again this shoe features a thicker platform heel that puts less strain on your ankles, and won’t have you walking like a newborn calf.

5. Chunky Day Heels
We love chunky heels! So comfy, so easy to walk in, while still giving you a little lift! This particular brand is available in soft leather or suede and a variety of neutral colors. The rounded toe will be a relief, as will the short, stout heel. Your ankles and arches will be singing the praises as your breeze through your workday.

6. Lace Up Wedge Ankle Boot
All the ankle, knee, heel and arch support you can want in a heel comes in these comfortable, and super stylish wedge ankle boots. Another huge plus is the array of colors they can be found in. The particular store linked here offers black, red and beige, but these boots can be found in many other varieties. They’re also the perfect shoe for fall and winter, and work great for when you have to make coffee/lunch runs.

7. Low-Rise Block Heels
The low-rise heel of this style usually measure 2.5 inches, so while it gives you a lift, it’s not a daring look. They’re comfortable, supportive, and don’t put a lot of strain on the ankles or arches of your feet. The block heels also make it much easier to stand and walk in, as you’re not feeling like you’re walking on a tightrope. These shoes are especially hot this summer and are the perfect shoe for the workplace during your summer internship. They can be found in a rainbow of colors from all shoe stores right now.

8. Pointed Toe + Block Heel Clogs
Ok, so earlier a disparaging remake against pointed toed shoes were made, but they’re not all that bad. Pointed toe heels are very stylish and professional looking and if you consider browsing Chiko’s selection of shoes you’ll find an interesting variety. They offer clog/mule block heels, that are Japanese inspired, to provide this unique circular heel that may lessen that difficulty of walking or standing many spikey heels have. They also offer a wide variety of colors, styles and materials of pointed heels that are sure to complete any look!

9. Clogs
Clogs are seriously one of the most comfortable heels or general pair of shoes you could ever wear-and they’re a lot more stylish looking than crocs. Don’t knock the clog until you try them on. They also come in a variety of styles now, not just the traditional Swedish clogs shown here.

10. Oxfords
Oxfords are one of the most professional and classy looking shoes out there! They couldn’t be more perfect for the office environment, regardless of how casual or dressy your workplace is. These distinguished shoes come in several colors and variations while still maintaining their classic appeal, and with a short heel that won’t leave you stumbling, but standing proud. They also work for both men and women.
