Hi, any advice on what shoes I can wear to work in London? I heard the dress code is quite formal in the bank I’ll be joining. I am not a fan of wearing heels to work as my commute involves lots of walking.
Any thoughts on specific shoes and brands I can look into thats worked well in your experience ?

Loafers (think snaffle/penny) are common for a flat shoe
I like wearing low (1-2 inch) heels and I'm fine walking long distances in them. If you get something with a slightly curved toe (rather than pointed) it'll be more comfortable. But a lot of people will wear nice loafers as well or ankle boots in the winter.
For brands - not sure where you are located but in the US, DSW has a wide selection at different price points and you can also find great brands for slightly cheaper at places like Nordstrom Rack. In the UK if you’re ok spending a bit more money, Russell and Bromley is very comfortable or Office for a lower price point
The first sentence says she's in London...
It's also posted with the United States tag so not sure where she was located……… maybe she is American in London so just trying to be helpful
I like girls in heels, would recommend heels for you
The women on my floor leave multiple pairs of heels at their desk and wear flats/running shoes to/from the office.
Aquatalia has a bunch of loafers, flats, low heels and booties that are office appropriate, extremely comfortable and waterproof
If you can't afford that I'd go with Cole Haan
Tory Burch flats or Russell & Bromley! Clarks is also good and comfortable. Fenwick has more options in terms of brands and great quality
