To this day, I cannot find a truly comfortable pair of work shoes, whether they're flats or low heels. I'm not comfortable in high heels unless it's for an occassion. I pretty much sit all day, but we do have to dress up.
The other day I ordered a new pair of black flats and a pair of these heels. They both KILL my feet. The flats are too narrow and the heels are pinching the outer part of my pinky toe. Geesh. The fact that I have bunions doesn't help when purchasing new shoes but neither of these shoes affect that issue.
I have the heels on today and I'm just hoping they need to stretch out a bit but I don't know how so many people wear 4 inch heels everyday and aren't in pain. Maybe it's just my feet?! They're narrow besides the bunion part (which is probably going to get worse as I age...great).
What are your "go to" shoes for work (if you have to get dressed up)? Are they comfy or you just deal with the pain? Ha!
I also spent a while in Lord and Taylor last week when they had a sale and none of the shoes I tried on were comfortable. I wanted to try a pair of cushion-y flats but they were out of stock.
The other issue is dress pants. I have to buy longer pants for higher shoes/dressy boots and shorter pants for flats.

Rachel, keep trying on shoes until they're comfortable. If they're not comfortable in the store, they won't be comfortable at home. Of course, after a long day in heels, anyone's feet will hurt! If shoes are a little tight, go up half a size and use a cushioned pad inside the shoe. Also, try wedges - they can be dressy without putting too much stress on your feet.
