Why Flats are a Good Investment in your Corporate Wardrobe

Now that we are more likely to be attending the office than staying at home, a pair of comfortable, yet stylish flats can take you from your commute to work, to a day at the office, and your summer social events while leaving your sneakers at home.

If your day requires long days on your feet, or long commutes, flats make a great alternative to heels. They are just as fashionable and professional, and they can also help you maintain good posture throughout the day by keeping your weight distributed evenly over the soles of your feet. This can prevent knee-pain, foot and leg pain and issues in your hips and lower back. In turn, this can increase your productivity as your comfort is one less thing to worry about.

However, you want to ensure flats are made from quality materials that will let your feet breathe, provide support and prevent blisters. Ill-fitting ballet flats can cause just as much pain as uncomfortable heels.

Louise M shoes have designed a classic flat that are timeless style. They are handcrafted from Italian leather and feature cushioning inside the shoe to give you added support and comfort. They are also orthotic friendly, if you are looking for a stylish, yet practical shoe. 

These flats are worn by women from an array of professions such as lawyers, teachers, head of private schools, doctors, nurse managers, cafe owners, accountants, funeral home directors, personal assistants, office managers, media professionals,  and flight attendants. However, they are not just great for wearing around the office, these shoes can be paired with almost any outfit. For example, they look great with jeans for a more casual weekend look.

As travel is opening up domestically and internationally, these stylish flats are also perfect for airport walking and comfortable for inflight wear. They can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, breakfast meeting or after work event. Investing in a great pair of versatile shoes also means you can save on suitcase space, so you can travel light and consider carry on luggage only.

If you prefer a shoe with a small heel, the Louise M low heel court could be the shoe match for you. It features a 3cm stacked heel to create stability and a little bit of extra width across your foot for added comfort. The stacked heel offers those that are super hard on their heels worry free from damaged heels. The soft Italian leather that envelopes your feet ensures the shoe is breathable and prevents you from getting blisters. The added cushioning inside the shoe provides comfort so you can be on your feet all day without experiencing significant foot pain.

Foot pain is what everyone is wanting to avoid. Foot pain will cause distraction when working, avoidance of standing for long periods and walking to meetings (or even for coffee!), and long lasting health concerns. 

Quality, comfortable work shoes are often neglected as we consider them 'work shoes' only. The fact is many hours in our week are spent at work on our feet so an investment in a pair of comfortable shoes can change your life.

Louise M shoes offer a range of corporate women's shoes online, and custom made shoes can be made in Italy if your shoes are not currently available in our ecommerce store louIsemshoes.com.
