I am a tom boy and always have been. I wear heels to weddings and interviews. I wear athletic (running or cross-training shoes) almost all the time unless it is summer and I am in sandals. This hasn't been an issue previously as I taught preschool and students with emotional disabilities that would attack staff. My normal shoes were a bonus and honestly, heels would have not have been a good idea.
Now I am moving to a different position and I need shoes. I would like comfortable shoes as I am on my feet teaching. I would like some that are versatile in the outfits that they go with.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like you still don't need to be dressy - my favorite comfortable shoes are Jambu Spin Barefoot shoes. Jambu in general is a great brand.
For dressier and comfort I wear Cole Haan with Nike air - namely the Tali Wedge.

I love Clark's. I have a couple pair of Mary Jane's that I can wear with pants or casual skirts / dresses. So comfortable.

Clark's would be my first thought. I love that brand. I'm on my feet all day teaching, and they don't hurt my feet like other brands do at the end of the day.

I love Clarks too. They've really improved the styles of their shoes over the years. I want to get a pair of the Cole Haan with Nike Air, but I don't dress up enough for work to justify the expense. If I caught a good sale, though, I could talk myself into it.

ETA: QVC sells Clarks as well. I've gotten a few pair when they are on easy pay. |

Clarks are comfy. I get them at Macy's or DSW. Probably any higher end department store. (not Target or Walmart)
I also like Life-Stide. I have a couple pairs of loafers that I wear to work and a pair of classic black pumps from them.

I love Clark 's. I wear the flip flops in the spring / summer because of the support and wear the clogs during the winter. They do not hurt my feet when I am on them so much.

I buy Clark's too. Very comfortable for being on your feet all day.

I wear Clark's and Sofft almost exclusively in the classroom. Dressy enough, cute enough, and supportive enough for teaching on your feet all day.
I buy at Zappos because I need wide sizes, but there's also a Clarks store in the mall near me, and Macy's carries several styles of both Clarks and Sofft.

I was just coming back here to add Sofft, but Merge beat me to it. I also like Born.

Do they run wide? I have very thin feet. I think I may have to go to Macy's to check out what size might fit me.

Try Born too. I also have a pair of Taos that I wear daily in the winter. I also have a pair of Merrells that are incredibly comfortable.

 and Clarks is what I would recommend from one teacher to another. I also wear a lot of sandals until it gets cold.

My vote is for Danskos. I LOVE them. Been wearing them for years. Can walk in them for hours and hours and my feet never hurt. I have short, wide feet.

Born! I just bought 2 pairs. But they are their dressier version of a tennis shoe. I also bought their oxfords.

I love the look of Clark's but I find them too narrow for my feet. I have an average width foot but Clarks just don't work. They have great shoes though. Love them!
I love Born and Trotters

Munro's are incredibly comfortable. I wear Merrell clogs at work a lot, they aren't real dressy, but look ok for work

Elannah, Clarks makes wide sizes. Try Zappos. I will!!! That is good to know. We have a store called Walk in Comfort and they carry Clark's but the ones i have tried at other stores didn't have widths. I might be a 6W instead of a 6. Thank you!!!  |
