Need REALLY comfortable shoes for being on my feet all day - not fugly Danskos

The best brand that blends comfort with style well is Sigerson Morrison. They can be quite pricey (I usually buy them on sale), but I own a few pumps, flats and sandals and can wear them all day long without feeling discomfort while looking stylish and professional.

I just got some cute Munro brown flats on sale - my first pair of flats! They are pretty comfortable.

I also have some surprisingly comfortable and very cheap $21 payless black pumps. I wouldn't want to walk miles in them (I change into sneakers when leaving the office) but they are fine for being on my feet in the office.

I have some Rockport loafers that I love. I'm not sure they are as comfortable as Danskos, but I don't mind being on my feet for several hours while wearing them.

Beautifeel. They make some very classic looking pumps.

I'm on my feet all day, too. It sounds corny, but Reebok Easytones are sooooo comfortable!

I have problematic feet -- wide(ish), flat feet that require a lot of TLC. I used to put myself through a great deal of pain to wear "purdy" feminine shoes, and in my 30s, with a job that required a great deal of standing and presenting for hours at a time, I finally decided that comfort had to be my priority.

I did have to make some compromises on style, though. Dainty, stiff little shoes with pointy toes were out. I could wear mostly-flats with good support (my favorite shoes through pregnancy were red patent leather flats with good arches I got from Naturalizer), wedges (I have a pair of Naots I love), and even some heels (check out Crocs -- yes, Crocs).

Don't let the web sites scare you: there are plenty of attractive work-appropriate shoes among the "fugly" styles. I will say, though, that I had to embrace a certain level of chunky, kick-ass, funkiness in my footwear to get comfortable. Ad mentioned, the little pointy-toe stiletto or even kitten heel shoes will never find their way onto my feet!

Q: What kind of feet do you have? High arches, etc?

I took a look at the web site and I already know I'd never be able to wear these shoes. I see no arch support in them whatsoever. For my square flat-footed tootsies, I suspect I'd feel nothing but pain.

If you need arch support and work in a business casual environment, I recommend Audjie (Zappos sells them). VERY comfortable.
