These best shoes for office are super comfortable and stylish. A great choice for anyone who has to stand all day at work.

If you spend most of your time on your feet, you know how important it is to have comfortable shoes. And if you spend all day at the office, shoes that are both comfortable and stylish are a must.

So, what are the best shoes for office? Here are a few of our favorites:

Nike Air Huarache Run Ultra Sneaker

These lightweight sneakers look great with any outfit and provide plenty of cushioning underfoot. The mesh upper allows air to circulate through the shoe while keeping your feet cool while standing or walking around all day. The rubber outsole provides traction on slippery floors and durable wear over time.

Teva Men’s Terra Fi Lite Sandal

These sandals feature an adjustable strap across the top of the foot for a custom fit. The lightweight EVA sole provides cushioning underfoot while protecting against impact from rough terrain or hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt outside during warmer months when you might want some extra protection from the sun or heat inside during cooler months when you don’t want to wear anything too thick or heavy indoors (or if you just prefer lighter footwear).

Best Shoes For Office

COURTESY

Office culture—and its dress code—has changed drastically over the past two decades. That’s certainly not news, especially if you’ve been employed during the transition, but, for many, the appropriate fit can still be a head-scratcher. Indeed, there was a period when dressing for your 9-to-5 was easy: A suit in gray or navy with a pair of oxfords was always a good bet. Think Mad Men, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Up in the Air. Nowadays, however, with Silicon Valley and start-ups across the nation promoting a laissez-faire attitude—read: normcore—in open-concept offices and boardrooms alike, the prescribed attire isn’t so simple. Enter business casual, and more specifically, business casual shoes.

The term is decidedly tricky. What does business casual actually mean? What are the parameters? Here’s the CliffsNotes version: business, but not too business, and casual, but not too casual. You still want to present yourself authoritatively, but you also don’t want to be the sole overdresser in the group. The choice of shoes, in particular, is the perfect way to meander between these two points. If you prefer the formality of a suit, pair it with a white sneaker. Similarly, if you’re a jeans-and-tee fella, polish it up with wingtips. There are also styles that fit the business-casual bill by themselves, including desert boots, Chelsea boots, and certain types of loafers.

Need more help getting business casual shoes down pat? Check out the selection below. Most of us will be heading back to the office soon (if you haven’t already), and we could all use some new kicks when we do. And hey, we can wear them OOO, too.

ADIDAS

Stan Smith Shoes

The white sneaker: Adidas and Stan Smith certainly did it well. If you have a Ludlow suit or something similar hanging around, pair it with this veritable icon.

J.CREW

Camden Loafers

$148 AT J CREW

If you’re not looking to overdo the latter half of “business casual,” a penny loafer is your friend. Wear it jeans and a sports jacket, or tapered slacks and sleek sweater, and you’re all set.

CLARKS

Desert Boot

$150 AT CLARKS

$228 AT NORDSTROM

Everything you love about a penny loafer, beefed up with a big lug sole. It’s business and casual in one (very attractive) package.

COLE HAAN
