I find something like this most comfortable, but also depends on flexibility and softness 1-1.5 inches, and good for so best to try in person rather than order online. Check “comfort” brands: Clark’s, aeroseles, naturalizer. Not the most fashion forward but comfortable.

Patent Ferragamos are my go-to.

Might work - too casual??

Those look nice and would work with most dresses... Buy some and see if comfortable.

Check out ecco.

Or maybe some nicely cut loafers, or cap toe low heeled pumps. Maybe Ferragamo?

The Madewell Mylie ballet flats are also comfortable, not sure if that is what you are looking for.

Sorry but those are all awful - shoe types I avoid like the plague. I would tend to go for slightly chunky Mary Jane’s - maybe even slightly platform Mary Jane’s - mainly because I have extremely muscular legs and they look better on me. The type of flats you recommend only look good on stick women with no muscle or bottom.

. . . And before you say it I’m 5’4” and 115 lbs - so, no, I’m not fat - I’m muscular and dress for my body.

I find “nude” (whatever color that is for you) shoes go best with navy AND black. I’m olive skinned and usually take camel-colored shoes on business trips because they go with everything.

Thanks for responses- I should have specified no flats. I’ll wear some sort of heel- just not more than 2”. I’m 5’3” so like a little heel. The sofft heel posted above might be good option. Also open to open toe.

I also don't see where you requested flats? Maybe bring one pair of pointed toe soft flats in navy and a dressier pair of black heels. I love Sofft for this.

I wouldn't wear flats the entire time. I love the second pair of soffit shoes. I have never worn them, but I'm going to order. Low heel, look comfortable, stylish in terms of business attire.

I find that tan and oxblood are good colors for flats that can go with black and navy.

Sorry for all of the typos… used voice text and didn’t have on my glasses😜

I am going on a long business trip and the evening attire will be somewhat dressy. I am trying to find a pair of shoes that are comfortable as I’ll be mingling each night and twill match most of my outfits. I have several dresses that have navy in them and a couple of black dresses. I can’t seem to find the perfect shoe. The event is taking place in France in the late spring would look some help.
