Finding work appropriate shoes that manage to blend the fine line between professional, comfortable and actually, well, nice, is pretty damn hard. A quick look at most current trends — cowboy boots, thongs, strappy sandals — and it can be difficult to choose something that will fit in with the rest of your work wardrobe.
Never fear, help is here. We’ve rifled through hundreds of work shoes to find the coolest, most fashionable styles that won’t look out of place in the office. Drawing on aforementioned trends, a few of the styles err on the side of casual — but paired with a power suit or LBD are guaranteed to impress. Get to work, lady!
