As a teacher, I tend to stick with sneakers that I can wear with dressier clothes. Occasionally I’ll dress up a little more, though! Here is a list of my favorite shoes to wear in the classroom and stomping around on campus!
My everyday, absolute favorite shoe to wear to work as a high school teacher. I can dress them up or down and I wear these several times a week. I have chronic pain and arthritis and these do not hurt my feet. So much love for these!

Sam Edelman has my heart where loafers are concerned! They are comfortable, classy, and hold their longevity so well. Absolutely worth it!
