What are some comfortable shoes or sneakers

[Pandamonium]

My trusty New Balance 991's gave out about a year ago and in haste (I bought them for ~$50 on clearance, and at the time they died, there weren't any good prices) I replaced them with a 574. Anyway, the 574 is pretty comfy and actually held up better than the 991. But I'm in the market for a new shoe that is comfy for standing purposes. I figure in a typical shift, I'll be on my feet for 5-6 hrs. The 991s were the most comfortable shoes I've owned by far, but I'm looking to see if there are other alternatives. Otherwise I'll just have to hunt for some deals.

one summer when i was a waiter someone recommended i buy a pair of rockports and it was one of the greatest pairs of shoes i've ever owned.

most comfortable shoes i've ever owned. since i wear them all the time, they last a year or two before they're too damaged from rain etc. to wear anymore. i promptly go out and buy another pair. i'm on my 3rd pair so far. so yup, i've been wearing those shoes for 6 years, still love em.

edit: haha... i didn't even read blackdogdeek's response but :thumbsup:

I worked in retail for 4 years and of course you just stand all day and I just bought some regular vans.

Ask a nurse. No one knows the most comfortable shoes like a nurse would. Maybe find a nursing forum online and check out the threads from male nurses discussing shoes?

I couldn't think of a worse pair of shoes for your feet. All that cushion and arch support? Genius! (that being said I have owned dozens and dozens of Vans over the past 25years).


I really find A LOT of comfort in Keen shoes. I'm not too hip on their sandals, but their shoes, I have never had a more comfortable pair. And you get get casual dress ones too if you need them.

If you can get away with tennis shoes, get a pair of decent, properly fitting running shoes.

Fashionable people and most women know nothing of comfortable shoes.

Don't ask the guy who threw his at Bush.

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Ask Bush what feels less painful.

i would recommend getting the NB 992 with superfeet inserts. Ecco is another brand i would recommend, but they're pretty pricey, and their sizes are in European sizes. ie. 41 is ~ to size 7 in US.

Had a Younger person recommend me Skateboard shoes. I got some Etnies have never had a more comfortable pair shoes in 40 years.
