Just keep work shoes at work. Or, switch to good pinned platform pedals and ride in anything (except perhaps high heels). The key is a wide platform distributes pressure.

Personally, I gave up on clipless, and I wear a crappy old pair of sneakers for riding, and keep my work shoes at work. (Which also happen to be a slightly-less-crappy pair of sneakers...)
