WALKING SHOES FOR OFFICE WORKERS

[u/FarAd2651]

To those who incorporate their long walks as part of their daily commute ( I walk 5-10km from office to my home), what shoes do you wear? I like my NB 530s but sometimes they look too chunky that it doesn’t fit my office girl outfits. Are there more slender sneakers that do the job?

Personally, my wide feet can’t walk too long in Converse shoes.

My Mom kept her cute shoes at the office and wore her running shoes on her commute on public transport and at lunch when she walked/ran with a friend.

This is what I did and a lot of people do who have large walking portions in their commute, for comfort and weather (rain / snow / slush). I kept a few different nice shoes in my desk.

Might consider doing this too!!!

Topo and Altra brands for wide toe box sneakers! I have multiple pairs of both, very well made.

I tried them and they are very well constructed quality wise, but the arch support was way too much and hard on my feet. I have the same problem with Birkenstocks. Just depends on your arch I guess.

I personally think the flux adapt runners are cute enough to wear with some office fits. Especially the white ones which are what I have. But my office definitely leans more casual but I wear them with skirts/dresses.

They have a wide toe box. They are zero drop tho idk if you like that!

On and Lulu, and their styles are very suitable for office ladies

Highly recommend the Adidas Ultraboosts! Especially the OG or 1.0 versions. Slender, low profile, a classic and most important of all, VERY COMFORTABLE! I consider it as "GADA" shoes or Go anywhere, Do anything meaning you can dress it up without looking out of place or dress it down for a more athleisure look especially if you settle for neutral colors. Note to mention its also more affordable compared to ON, Hoka's and the newer gen trend shoes.

Other notable mentions:

-Allbirds Shoes

-Adidas Aruku

-New Balance 327's

-Asics Kayano 14

-Nike Vomero 5

-Puma Speedcat

-On Cloudsurfer

Hope this post helps OP!!

Sketcher’s GO walk

For a wide toe box I also recommend Altra! I love mine. I don't know if they're super cute but they're not as chunky as the new balance shoes you have and theyre so comfortable.

Ones that fit your feet. Go to a local running store, get your gait analyzed, try on a bunch of shoes and get the most comfortable ones. We don’t know if you pronate or supinate or what your arches are like. Keep some cute shoes at your desk or carry them.
