HELP shoes

What the heck do I wear on my feet everyday for a business casual office? I had flats on this AM and I am just done with that. My feet were not only cold but wet.

I have calves that won't fit into most boots.

Booties? I find they look odd with dress pants.

Platform pumps?

I have two small children so pumps are not realistic (especially in the winter)...

help! what do you wear?

Re: HELP shoes

I wear chunky heeled boots (not high - like booties) under all of my dress pants.

my problem is that I HATE round, round toes on boots with dress pants. I don't want a severe point but cannot find a good balance.

Look on zappos, there are plenty with an almond shaped toe. That's probably what you want, not too pointy and not too rounded.

I'm wearing almost those exact boots today, so now you've insulted me. Expect your house to be TP'd.

Can you wear in a comfy, casual shoe and change in the office? That's what I do.

I've become obsessed with these and think they'd be perfect for work casual or with a pair of skinny jeans, cute top and Moto jacket

HELP shoes

I say get a bootie with a stacked heel. They usually arent too high and they arent thin so they are usually more comfy.

Look at aerosoles maybe? Some of their stuff is matronly but sometimes they have a cute shoe mixed in there LOL

This is what I do. I have Hunters and carry flats in my bag.

My calves are SO WIDE and I have hte short Hunters but the talls even fit me (I got the shorts because I wear kids sizes mainly)
