Need advice on new sensory friendly office shoes (sh.itjust.works)

I just started interning and it's my first office job (Yay!) but most of the clothes I feel comfortable wearing are not really office attire. Especially shoes. I have no "appropriate" shoes because shoes have always been a particular source of sensory issues so I wear the same black pair of mesh trainers. I have to commute in a big city so I end up walking a decent amount, and shoes that are tight and/or heavy really mess with my focus.

Do you guys have any advice on how to find comfortable shoes that are at least a bit more office appropriate? Maybe solid clean white sneakers? For reference I'm female.

Also remember that could commute in your preferred shoes and change on arrival at the office. Leaving the dress shoes at the desk is more common than most people realize.

That sounds like a great idea in the future if it becomes a possibility! We don't have assigned desks so that's not an option for me; I'd have to carry my shoes in my bag and the extra backpack weight sounds like it'd offset the foot comfort. Thanks for your response ☺️
