Comfort Shoes: Get Dressy

At last: sensible shoes that look polished, not stodgy or clunky. These have flexible soles, cozy cushioning, and linings that wick away moisture to keep feet fresh – but they come in great colors and tailored styles.

They feel so good, they may even make commuters’ sneakers obsolete! Most available in all widths. Shown above, from left: tan loafer, lizard-print pump, navy and white oxford ($ 79 per pair), and high amber loafer, $84, Easy Spirit; polished brown loafer, $65, Aerosoles; and mahogany oxford, $76, Rockport.
