Black work shoes

FueledByAisling

I've recently just gotten a part time job and part of our uniform is black leather shoes although they don't necessarily have to be real leather. I've been talking to people I know who work there and the women just wear pumps.

Does anybody know of any smart looking non pumps shoes? I find pumps incredible sore on my arches even with insoles.(this may be only as I've only ever owned Pennys/Dunnes/M&S ones) Are the more expensive ones better?
I normally wear brogues for casual wear although I feel they would be too casual for my work (waitering).

Price isn't too important as I'd prefer to invest in a pair that I can be comfy in for very long shifts although I'd prefer it to be under the €80 mark.

Clarks or Ecco are your only man, definitely. I spend most of my workday on my feet. Been wearing a Clarks slip-on pair for two years and I've recently bought an Ecco pair that I still have to break in. You'll get good shoes in either place for 80.

OkayWhatever

I was waitressing for 3 years in a pair of Hush Puppies and found them great!

They lasted me the 3 years so they really are worth the money.

I reckon you can get them in a good few places,Definately in Barrats though.

Thank you guys! I've looked on both sites and Hush Puppies seem to be the most popular. I checked Schuh and found these http://schuh.co.uk/womens-black-hush-puppies-finchley/1361007020#CustomerRatings. Would these be suitable for work? They've gotten great reviews from people who usually have sore feet too but I'm not too found of the design on the front =/

OkayWhatever

Yeah, They should do it

You won't even notice the design when you're in your work clothes.

€60 isn't too bad either, you'll have them for years

If you're working around slippery floor etc... you should try get slip resistant shoes. I wear some in work and they're great. Great if your working around kitchens and that. There from Shoes for Crews website but they don't look as good as a normal shoe.
