I'm looking for some floppy shoes.
I have this pair of ultra floppy, almost slipper-like, shoes (Steve Madden Mammbo's) that I love love love. I have a second pair socked away for a rainy day, but I would like to find other shoes that are similar.
The don't necessarily have to be leather, but they should look professional enough to wear in an office. They also don't have to be loafers, although I'd prefer that.
I've seen the Nike Free shoes, which seem nice, but I definitely don't want running shoes.

Response by poster: I'd prefer shoes that aren't actually slippers.

Camper have a few shoes like these, the Lp and IDI for instance. Click "Camper e-shop" then "Buy online." For previous seasons shoes you could try searching other outlets for Camper as the official store only has the current designs.

I have these and wear them to death.
The Earth shoe negative heel really works for me, although you may want to try them before you buy (if you kind find them in a store near you), since they feel different than the usual shoe.
Ignore the silly "burn calories" hype on the homepage, though.

I found a pair of these on discount at a Birk store and they are amazingly comfortable. I love them and wish I'd bought a second pair in another color while they were on sale.

Response by poster: As a followup, I bought a pair of the VIVO Barefoots, and while it feels like I'm wearing socks all the time, my feet have never been so happy.
Thanks!
