Go to a proper shoe store, tell the salesperson you want a flexy-soled dress shoes, and if you have the ability to shop at a time they are not terribly busy, you might try bringing in a guitar and see if you can play it comfortably.

Ecco's. Go to Nordstroms. You deserve it.

I use track shoes. They're leather, flexible and they're thin. Perfect.

I went looking for shoes to play in last weekend. I was catching the pedal rod with my toe when I shifted from the A-B pedal position to B-C pedal position. I had 4 thoughts to keep in mind.
1. Flat sole. Watch out for toes that turn up on the end. Will make it harder to fully depress the pedals and possibly play out of tune.
2. No deep grooves on the sole. Might catch the edge of a pedal when swithing positions.
3. No extra outside edge around the shoe, like the old wing-tip style. That just makes you have to be farther away from the pedal to avoid cathing the pedal rod.
4. As small of a size that will be comfortable. Wear a thin sock. This will help put your toes as far forward as possible and firmly on the pedal.
Those are my thoughts...
Here is what I bought:
