I dont think the flower is work-appropriate or, for that matter, cute at all. Good thought though, w. re to the comfortable shoe point.
I have a pair of Soffts (not this particular style) and, while they are more comfortable than regular heels, they aren’t long walk comfortable. I would recommend a pair of ballet flats if you want to walk on your lunch hour over these.
I’m sorry but I don’t like these at all! These are shoes my grandmother would wear… not chic or modern at all.
Sketchers makes a great black sneaker that looks more like a dress shoe. I wouldn’t wear it as a “work shoe” but it is a great shoe to throw on to walk around the block w/o having people notice your shoes on your way out the door. Also, it is still almost professional so you could pull it off for a hand delivery without killing your feet in your heels. Where I work the sidewalks are in bad shape and it is a given that nobody walks outside in their work shoes. For one it is dangerous and two the heel would break.
Here is something similar to what I wear:
