Ive been doing my management training with a company that requires you to wear close toed shoes and you constantly walk all day. The past 6 months Ive been doing trial and error with different brands of dress shoes for comfort and I think im about fed up (a well over $ 300 investment). Ive visited a couple of stores within my company and I have seen a couple of females with tennis shoes on with their dress clothes and I thought how smart. I just dont know how professional that comes off as but at the same time I think my feet are way more important at this point. Suggestions?

I have no suggestions, I wear heels (only 3") all the time and have no problem walking distance in them. You just need to find something that fits your arch and width properly.

Where is your discomfort?

@lildol I couldnt imagine wearing heels on the job, the way we run around when it gets busy it wouldn't be logical. The pain usually starts around the front. I purchased a wide pair of shoes and its still a little pressure. Weird thing is I never had this problem till now.
