Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.
The weather is getting warmer, and a great habit to develop is to take a twenty minute walk at lunch to clear your head, get away from your computer, and get a bit of exercise in your day. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, but then, you don't want to advertise the fact (in this economy!) that you're leaving your desk by putting on big white shoes. Our advice? Look into great comfort brands, like Sofft, and their lovely, low-heeled Calypso. It's totally appropriate with most work outfits, but serious cushioning inside makes it great for a quick walk. It's on sale at Zappos right now, as well — was $91, now $81.80. Sofft – Calypso (Black) – Footwear

Some of our latest threadjacks include:
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:
