Comfortable shoes for work?

[ironk]

I mean a comfortable shoe that actually lasts a little bit. I work in a place that has floors similar that to of what you find at a Home Depot, and the feet are just getting killed. I don't care if its a sneaker, should look decent though. Its mainly for walking+standing for prolonged time (like 8 hrs in a day).

Thx.

Just get any decent shoe and get the shoe inserts (Dr. Scholls, or whatever brand feels best).

And yes, I work on a floor thats not similar, but exactly like what you would find in a Home Depot

If you're talking about these:

Those are the ones I use. They even have a coupon on the website. After 8 hours on those hard, uneven floors, they're a lifesaver.

I'm gellin'. Personally, they're worthless, but I keep them in my sneakers because I lost the old inserts.

Check out RedWing shoes. They're "Professional Grade" for people on their feet a lot (Cops, Nurses ...).

They can be re-soled, when you wear them out, much cheaper than new shoes. They take a good shine and keep it.

They're a bit klunky, but once you break 'em in, they're some of the most comfortable (non-sneaker-type) shoe you can wear.

Good Luck

inserts work well for my boots that I wear onsite...they're wolverines...I regularly wear my kenneth cole dress shoes in the office though...they're really comfortable...

i use a pair of sauconys that I decomissioned from running shoes when I have to walk on home depot-esque flooring at work (which is not every day)
