New Balance has come a long way since being labeled "dad shoes". I love the neutral colors of these and I find them incredibly comfortable when I'm on my feet all day.

Birkenstocks are a cult classic. While the traditional flat ones may or may not be frowned upon by your admin, the wedges up the professional looking style game!
