Finding dress shoes that are appropriately formal, comfortable enough to wear for extended periods of time, and don't inflame your feet is like searching for a unicorn. However, if you know what to look for, finding the best dress shoes doesn't have to be a pain. So we’ve rounded some of best finds that will keep you looking ultra chic, while giving you the feeling of walking in air (almost!)

Not only are these Room of Fashion kitten heels built with a thick memory foam insole for added comfort, they also have a soft microfiber upper that won't dig into your feet when you walk. Best yet, they're affordable and available in wide width sizes. The heel is 1 inch in height, giving you a little lift without jeopardizing balance. Plus, they’re made with all vegan materials, making them an ethical choice as well.

You can't go wrong with a simple ballet flat, especially when they're as comfortable as these Hush Puppies. These flats are constructed with a lightweight leather or suede upper (depending on which style you choose), a cushioned and supportive footbed, and a textured rubber sole to help grip the ground as you walk. They're also breathable, supportive, and have a tiny 0.25-inch heel that dresses them up. And, because they come in 25 different color and pattern options, you'll be able to find the perfect one to match any look.

While these Vionic loafers are on the pricer side, the soft suede material and microfiber-covered EVA foam footbed make them more than worth the cost. Designed by a podiatrist, they're comfy and won't cut into your bunions or the upper sides of your feet. Even better, they're made with high-quality suede upper that makes them appropriate for most dress occasions.

Although they may look like ordinary wedge heels, these Luoika wedges come in extra-wide true widths with a round toebox for your toes to splay out in. This makes them ideal for bunion sufferers. Meanwhile, the insole of this shoe has extra cushioning and is constructed with thick memory foam for even more comfort when you walk. The upper is made of soft microfiber that lays gently on top of your feet and has enough give to fit nearly any foot.
