I like my Everlane Day Flats. They're classically cut and break in well.

I have similar feet to yours, OP. I have some good flats by Dr Scholls, and generally for work shoes I like Naturalizer and Anne Klein. I agree with PP about looking at DSW (tho not Payless). I used to walk to and from the Metro in my work flats and I was going through multiple pairs each year due to sole wear. If you must commute in your work shoes, don't spend $150 on them. |
I walked probably hundreds of miles in my J Crew Cece flats before they fell apart. I find them more comfortable than most flats because the have a small internal rise toward the heel--about an inch. In suede, they are super soft to start and don't need breaking in. |
My favorite flats are target and dr. Scholls. Have fancy, expensive flats I wear on nights out where I don't have to walk far, but the less expensive brands are more comfortable (especially the dr. Scholls. Dh makes fun of me, but they're a life saver when pregnant!) |
Don't buy tieks. They suck!! |
Yes, do NOT buy Tieks, such a waste of money! They don't last any longer than any other flats I've had. Unfortunately, they are so hyped up! They are so overrated.
Brands that have comfortable flats with reasonable prices (under $50): Naturalizer, White Mountain, Lucky Brand, Anne Klein. If you do want to spend $100+ on flats, buy Cole Haan ones (good deals online right now and at Nordstrom's rack). |
I am another fan of Payless, and I don't go there for the price (thought my top price range is $100). I have these:

TBH -I used love Payless but have found their quality has gone downhill recently. |
These. |
+1 I bought a pair because of DCUM and they are awful. |
Fsny flats are heaven |
+1 I also like vionic. I have a pair with a pointed toe that elongates my legs. |
I usually don't find anything at DSW, but a few seasons back, I found a pair of Dr. Scholl's black ballet flats that were surprisingly very comfortable and they don't have that orthopedic shoe look. |
I've had several pairs of FSNY (French Sole) flats and have worn them until they fell apart. They're comfortable, but not very supportive. I have large, narrow feet and high arches. |
I am the PP and I have a few pairs of French Sole too! And they are comfortable. |
I am loving my Rockport Cobb Hill flats - can get them through Zappos.
