"Nice" Sneakers for the Office? (Creative Field)

Do you wear sneakers to the office? I work in a creative/NFP area, so the rules for dressing are less corporate, but still expected to be nicer than yoga pants. Nice jeans (e.g., dark washes, no rips), silk blouses, cashmere sweaters are common, as are cardigans, sweater-type blazers, funky earrings/necklaces, scarves, etc. I usually wear ballet flats, but I'd prefer to wear sneakers--especially as the weather gets colder--if I can find a pair that look a bit more refined than AF-1s (which my teenage daughter wears).
Can you please post links to sneakers that might work for me. I wear an 8.5 in regular street shoes and will often wear black pants/denim. I'd be willing to spend up to $200 or so for a great pair of shoes. Thank you! |

| I like my Vejas for work. My Onitsuka Tigers are more comfy but they work better on weekends. |

Anything but the "goose".
Amazon and Adidas have a lot of lifestyle shoes. |

I wear similar clothes to work and look for solid colors, leather, and or slip-on sneaker styles to look a little more polished. I save anything with bright colors or chunky soles for weekends.
I haven't bought them yet, but Rothy's has some that seem good. Brands you might look at are Vince, Cole Haan, and Vionic. |

I have a bunion so only about 5% of footwear will work for me. I basically wear these sneakers from France in various colors. I just replace the laces to match the shoe. I just bought this color below. Leather lined, no seamed pressure points, and a perfect padded heel at just the right spot.

Any suggestions for those of us with narrow heels?
The brands I have tried slip up and down on my heel, which detracts from the comfort. |
