I found Merrell Eclipse to be my best shoe. They are specifically made for women. Used to search forever for a good feeling shoe that at the end of the shift my feet weren't killing me. They felt so good from the moment I put them on.

I have foot issues, so I tried everything boasting support, cushion,etc.

I've found my true love: the Nike Air Max. Durable, shock absorbent, great stability and

it's like walking on pillows. I work in step down, twelve hour shifts, on my feet except for lunch and charting.

My whole body may be tired at the end of the day, but not my feet.

I LOVE my Mizzuno "Wave Prophecy" running shoes for work. They are spendy $199 but have saved me from having to have surgery on the neuroma on the ball of my foot. I bought another pair to wear at home. I figured 2 pair of these is cheaper than surgery. The are very comfortable and even though they come in "medium" width, they have a nice wide toe box and my wide feet aren't pinched a bit. I bought them on Zappos.com :-)

This sounds odd.. I've been buying payless shoes that wear out after about 3 months. They are only $10. Our shoes (since were still in school) need to be white.

Does anyone have suggestions for a size 4W shoe?? I have new balance too but I don't think they are cushy enough for me to run around 12 hours a day in.

I hate shoes after this experience.

I believe payless now has a "work" shoe in white, black, and possibly other colors. Sometimes their the best bet for small feet because their "children's" shoes are the same or similar to the adult version. Often the kids shoes are cheaper too.

Alegria...love them! Need another pair...kind of addicting. Alegria Nursing Shoes, Medical Clogs - Professional Work Shoes by PG Lite

Agree! Not cheap but the only shoe that never gives me foot or knee pain after 12 hrs. The different styles/colors are addicting. I have 3 pair and I think I need more.

I bought a pair of Sanita Clogs, and I think they run small. Even though I got a size bigger than what I wear, mine still hit my arch> I love them though! I have Plantar Fasciitis and when I wear them my feet and heels don't hurt AT ALL. I'm also partial to Nike shoes- good ach support, and i can wear my insoles with them.

Specializes in Hospice Care, Med/Surg.

I wear Danskos, Allegria, and Nike Air...I have a high instep and they all help so much!

Dansko for me too. They are the best.

I always buy new balance and they'r not only comfortable, long lasting and American made.
