Tell me about your comfy work shoes

[hvonamission]

I'm desperate to find the ultimate pair of comfy work shoes.

I work in health care, a lot of my colleagues seem to go for this pair in the picture which are supposed to be just that. However there's just no way I can get over the style, I can't do that to myself!

I spend a lot of my time on my feet, walking around in the community. I also spend a lot of my time on the floor - on people's living room floors and kneeling down to a child's level etc. Basically I need them to be durable, the ones I have now got scuffed straight away.

Any suggestions? Would be much appreciated! I don't care THAT much about style, but the ones pictured are just too awful.

I usually wear black plimsolls from primark, like £4 ones and i found them to be comfy enough for me and I work in a pub, so constantly rushing around and walking and I never had a problem. They didnt last as long but it was probably cheaper than spending £45 a time on shoes that would maybe last twice the time my £4 ones lasted, and i found them comfy. Perhaps try clarks or Deichmann if they have to be leather/smarter looking

I had some of these when I was training...best shoes ever! Lasted me the whole three years and beyond, well worth the money and if you can find a discount code better still

Plain black memory foam Skechers if allowed.

Hotter
I don't know a teacher who doesn't love them!

Hotter shake style. Passable

Clarks Griffin Mabel are super comfy and look quite nice too! I swapped them for the ones shown when i just couldn’t bear looking at them any longer, the griffins are just as comfortable.

Definitely Sketchers.

I don’t know if these are suitable but these are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Ever

They are also in black. Go one size up

God they are foul OP, have you looked at Gabor

I'm a teacher and my feet would disown me if I put those hotter things on them!
I can wear trainers in work so tend to do so, or flat ankle boots.

Hotter. Fuck it. just do it. some are better than others looks wise. I have left behind decades of assuming that new shoes meant literally weeks of bleeding and painful feet. Hotter are comfortable from day 1, all day long.

What about a pair of brogues like Clarks Hamble Oak?

This is an American brand called Alegria. They are on Face book. I have 2 pair I got in Canada which are like those shown but are patterned one floral and one more abstract. A black pair that were sent to me and a black pair I purchased online from a company called Cheerful soles which are in Devon I think. The style I have Mary Jane's are aimed at HCP they also do them in white. They are soo soo comfortable. They are the only shoe that I can wear all day and the insole is removable and you can buy replacement insoles.

Doc Martins Mary Jane for me all the way.
Also wear Croc work. Very comfy.

Clarks Funny Dream are ridiculously comfortable

I wear Remonte shoes for work.

Crocs At Work flats.
I work in community health. These do everything, go everywhere and get washed often.

Docs. They shred your heels when you are breaking them in, and then they are the most comfortable and supportive shoes you have ever worn.

You need something with a firm sole - otherwise, you are opening yourself up to issues with arches etc in later life, plus it's also easier to slip, fall and sprain things, apparently.

Skechers Go Walks. I have them in black leather, but most just wear the regular fabric ones .

Perfect from the first wear.

I wear Clarks un-loop. Clearly I have no shame. 🤣

Shoes for crews most comfortable shoes ever.

I chase around all day after teenagers with multiple complex needs and severe autism , getting into all manner of interesting positions and situations. I don’t know I’m wearing these .

Super super comfy, feels like slippers

Yesss thank you all!
I'm going to have a good look through all of these.

@TheFirstOHN not at all! At least you're comfy!!

Lots of votes for the Hotters brand, they do look comfy but the style just isn't really for me.

I really like the sound of the docs with the T bar! They're nice! I'll have to go and try a pair on, they're pricey!

Thanks again everyone x
