The hot and humid weather is here to stay and no matter how much you hate it, you can not and should not compromise your office dress-codes. But with rising mercury warning you about the outside temperatures, let us help you find some work-friendly shoes that will help you keep your feet cool. So let your toes breathe freely, without looking sloppy.

Most often than not fashion powerhouses launch a line of summer-friendly shoes for women. The business casual or formal category designs include-

• Pumps with peep and closed toes
• Loafers, both flats and heels
• Oxford shoes
• Cuffed sandals
• High-heeled gladiators (only for professional heel wearers)

Now, casual summer business shoes are not a catchall term for thong sandals or stringy flip flops. They are a strict ‘no-no’ for work. Choose business casual designs like sling backs instead. They are as light as flip flops and open at the back to give your feet a breather.

Women who spend a lot of time standing and walking at work need more comfort than kitten or wedge heels. Pump style shoes like Clarks England women’s sugar sky have a soft leather upper for added cushioning. For women with web-feet, slip on styles with rounded toes is more comfortable than pointed toes. You can always stretch your legs and slip out of them instantly, while working at the desk.

Beat the heat with trendy statement shoes. Jimmy Choo sandals launch a line of cool and refreshing shades for the summer. Light neutrals, nude, and beige are perfect summer colors. Do your wardrobe math and pair them with flirty dress or formal cropped pants.
