For the last few months I’ve been struggling with pain in my left foot. I notice that when I wear gym shoes the pain is minimized. But, as I continue to go on job interviews in the city, my feet hurt from all the walking in unsupportive loafers. If I could go to interviews in sneakers, the problem would be solved. Until that happens, I’m going to need to find a pair of affordable and supportive shoes that work well with my business outfits.

These Flexisole patent loafers at Fashion Bug are a great option for my needs and may work for you as well. They are designed like regular patent leather loafers with a crossover strap and silvertone buckle, but they also have a rubbers sole for a comfortable fit and padded insoles built into the shoe. I will admit that I’m a little concerned about the added height that the rubber sole gives to the heal (my pain is in the ball of my foot), but I think the padded insole will take care of those concerns. To top it all off, they are only 19.99. Available in sizes 7 – 11, they come in wide widths for sizes 8 to 10.
