another vote for New Balance :) But in general, standard sneakers are very comfortable and can be slipped on quickly to save that precious minute before arriving late to class

you should replace sneakers every 6 to 12 months if you wear them every day.

My Nikes are going on 18 months. And the bottoms haven't even worn through yet. :p

i'm wearing the new nike shox nz's... one of the most comfortable pair of shoes i've ever put on... lightweight, cushiony and springy... i guess it's all what's the most comfortable to you, but the new nz's get my vote

I do waiter work where I'm on my feet 6-12 hours a night usually and I found Brooks to be a godsend. The most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn, period. They can be a might expensive though, but my legs have been thanking me every night since I bought them. Try them out, you might like them. If your going for something cheaper, New Balance is excellent as well.
