9 out of 10 shoes I purchase end up hurting my feet, with the exception of athletic/sneaker types. It's because I have wide feet and walk everywhere as a non-driver in an urban setting. Concrete, a totebag full of books, a purse and miles of walking do not work well with most of today's shoe styles and flimsy quality when you are looking for a reasonable price. Anyway, I searched for "comfortable travel shoe" and the Trotters brand came up. I'd never heard of it but found them here on Amazon. Honestly, most of the styles seemed a bit dated/old for me but I decided to give this pump a try. It reminds me of a ballet flat with a bit of a chunky heel. I ordered the WW or E width. They are leather for under $40. Today is the first day I've worn them and they are insanely comfortable.

I highly recommend these if you are looking for a comfortable, basic shoe that can be worn for work that includes a lot of walking to get there. Mine is a desk job, for the most part, so I won't be standing all day, but so far they are fantastic and look fine with my contemporary outfit.
