Women's dress shoes can be a necessary evil: You need them to look professional and structured enough for work, but they're usually uncomfortable and painful by the end of the day. But there's no need to sacrifice your comfort at work — it's time to upgrade so that you can stay comfy all day.
When shopping for new dress shoes, comfort is the most important, so don't rely on a break-in period — they should be comfy from the start. Always try on each pair with the socks, pantyhose or tights you plan on wearing with them to ensure the fit is accurate. Finally, before committing to a new pair of dress shoes, try them on in both the morning and night, as your feet can actually swell during the day.
To put together this list of the best women's dress shoes that are supportive but don't cause foot pain, the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab experts looked for the most comfortable shoe styles with built-in arch support, cushioning footbeds and lower heels. When testing footwear, GH Institute fiber scientists evaluate comfort, fit and support from testers' feedback; they also have podiatrists look at each footbed cut in half to determine if the shoe provides sufficient support and stability. In the Lab's latest test of walking shoes, experts analyzed hundreds of data points to find top-performing brands and features that helped determine these picks for the most comfortable dress shoes for women, including fashionable heels, loafers, booties, ballet flats and more:
