shoes for when you're on your feet all day?

[catkin14]

This isnt exactly a question about style etc but my feet are killing me!
I work in a shop for 10 hours a day, then come home and cook etc.
I am really struggling with finding shoes that I can wear all day without my feet/calves/knees hurting so bad. Its really beginning to get me down.
Any ideas please? I have slightly fallen arches as well which doesnt help.

How smart do you need to be? I think Skechers Go Walks would be good but they are probably a bit too informal.

Oh Lordy. You need to go to that sandals thread. Thousands of threads

I mean links

I was about to say that I work in a nursing environment and wear crocs for just the reasons you describe.

However, that's not really going to cut it in a shop is it?

I work in a nursing enviroment and wear Crocs. I know they aren't the sexiest but they are so comfortable.

Same environment as previous two however I wear foot glove from dear old M&S, they're honestly like putting your fav slippers on x

Fit flops. There are a number if styles, not all sandals. They're not the prettiest shoe ever but I can stay on my feet all day in them.

Brogues are your friend. I'm a teacher, I suffer from aching feet and legs when I'm working all day. Brogues stopped this, as they support your feet properly. I find Footglove really uncomfortable. Slip on shoes don't work for me at work, they don't give enough support

The Sketchers trainers with memory foam are very comfortable. You can get them in black if they are ok with your work uniform.

Fit flops or crocs. Ok, they be er going to win style awards but Crocs do some surprisingly ok shoes/boots/sandels now.

I'm on my feet same as you and my go to shoes are either padders or Clark's.. Not pretty but so comfy!

Hotter. Comfiest shoes ever.

Thanks for all that. Shop is mine so i can wear what i like .
I looked at sketchers but worried i might get smelly feet?

i hadnt thought of fitflops or crocs tho!
I will investigate.

I worked all day in a kitchen and loved my sketchers go walks.

They aren't exactly pretty but in black might be ok for you.

I used to stick mine in the washing machine on a low delicate 30 minute wash every now and then. They lasted me ages.

I love my birkenstock clogs. They do more formal shoes too, often on sale if you check their website.

I have fallen arches and all sorts of foot problems that make them ache at the end of the day. My rheumatologist kept telling me to wear lace ups with a one inch heel. I ignored him for years as I was too vain. However, I eventually gave in and bought some. He was right, the support they give stops your feet and legs from aching. I wear brogues, Birkenstock or lace up fit flop shoes.

Same here. I wore ballet pumps for years. Investing in a pair of brogues was a life changing event really.

Orange ballet pumps wrecked my feet! I had terrible plantar facitis for a couple of years and the doc told me that such flat shoes are terrible for your feet as they give bugger all support. I really struggle to find nice shoes that don't make me want to cry!

People who are saying brogues, which brands?

Clarks Hamble oak are very comfy. I wear them with orthotics.
Hamble Oak

My Toms seen me right when I was heavily pregnant and teaching. The sole is cusioned under your foot arch and they were great
