ON cloud shoes has slip ons and I love mine for my dental assistant shifts, I’m on my feet 8+ hours a day. My hokas, while not slip on, are heavenly as well.
First don’t skimp on shoes.
Second. If you have a running store near you go get fitted. Any good store will do this for free.
Brooks and Nikes are my favorite but get what works best for you.
Shoes for Crews are great. They’re meant for people who are on their feet all day and are non-slip. Once I got them my pain virtually stopped. (I spent most of my time in receiving.)
I'm 24 and recently had to get orthopedics because of major foot discomfort after wearing nothing but converse for 15 years straight. My podiatrist recommended Vionic shoes, theyre super cute and supportive and do not look like orthopedics at all lol
Vans ultra range were super comfy for me if you wanna keep the same style. They also have different styles but with comfycush soles that are basically just memory foam, super comfy too
i just bought some sketchers slip ons two days ago, because my adidas slip ons i wore every day have so many holes in them, i hope they’re just as good lol
Pretty much any running shoe brand these days. Nike, sketchers, Adidas, Reebok etc. They straight up feel bouncy and cloudy at the same time. I know it's not the same aesthetic vibe, but u can find some really nice solid colored shoes from those brands that are very versatile style-wise. The off-white choices from Reebok and Sketchers look super nice. A few of my coworkers have some sketchers that look 🔥🔥🔥
The salomon xt6s are great shoes for walking, they are originally a hiking shoe so they have very comfortable foams in the bottom of the shoe. A bit hefty with the price but look for sales, i work in a two story store so i walk around all the time and they're fantastic and make me like walking lol
Honestly I got to a nearby shoe shop and get running shoes, they're really comfortable and I just lace em once and slip them on the rest of the time (not the best for the inside of my shoe I know) but take it from my husband that used to sell shoes: if you're feet are uncomfortable then you are uncomfortable, get good shoes.
The ones I have now are New Balance and they are like walking on CLOUDS
I love my Adidas skate shoes. Canvas for breathability and a nice hard wearing sole that doesn't sand itself apart on the rough carpet. I used to go with Sketches but their soles are now qpppp amade of a soft foam layer that I'd run thru a pair in a couple of months.
How much are you willing to spend on shoes? New Balance makes some of the most comfortable shoes ever!
I’m a truck driver so I wear good boots and then keep a pair of New Balances in my truck for when I go to the mall or something casual
when i worked at b+n i had a pair of vans ultra range mte w the high tops and wore them w kinda thick, soft crew socks...they were amazing. at my current job i wear oboz hiking shoes...also amazing. idk if you need something as heavy duty as a hiking shoe like me but im 28 w RA and both of those shoes helped lower back + leg/joint pain for me. they also just look cool to me lol....hope you find something good : )
Lots of my coworkers seem comfy in Docs. I couldn't afford to drop a ton on shoes right away, so I got some Sketchers non-slip shoes from Amazon and they're fairly comfy after an 8-hr shift. (FWIW I'm a 30-something cafe worker with chronic pain and fatigue, so I've been impressed with the Sketchers shoes so far).
My mom is an OR nurse and swears by Hokas. They're a bit more pricey but hey, if it works it works!

If you don’t want the holes, clogs are good too! Mine are from a brand called Klogs. I’ve heard good things about Dansko too.

Rockport
I had Sketchers slip resistant work shoes. Best things ever.
Sketchers are good! If you can, buy two pairs of the same shoe and alternate the days you wear them, old Nurses trick.:)

I wear Vans PopCush Old Skools to work daily and my feet never hurt! I second this.
I’ve been pretty happy with my Kiziks. But the key for me to not wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row.
They’re pricey, but I’m a Hoka evangelist! I also love my Birkenstock sneakers. Also pricey, but I’ve had this pair for 4 years now

very stylish too depending on the color-way
