HELLO, I'm new to the forum.
What is your favorite shoe and why?

I was wondering what shoes are the most comfortable.
I have heard that Dansko's are well made and very comfortable.
I would like to purchase a quality shoe.



IF YOU DON'T LIKE DANSKO, what shoes do you wear at work?

I tried Danskos and they hurt my feet so bad. I guess they take a while to work in. I couldn't take the pain.

What shoes do you wear when working?

[NHavenRN]

I wear Danskos, and though I have problems with them, they're still the only shoes I've found yet where my legs and feet don't feel like lead at the end of the day. That said - I turn my ankle about twice a shift (TERRIBLE ankle support) and have what feels like a perma-bruise on the top of my foot in a place where the unforgiving leather hits my bone. So....I'm not raving, but I am a grudging fan....and still looking for that perfect nursing shoe.

i really don't like them for working on the floor. my ankle turns so easily in them and my legs ache worse at the end of the day than if i wear my regular sneakers.

Danskos are the best I've found.

Ditto...Everyone says how comfortable they are but my feet really hurt when I tried them on.

I wear Crocs and they are really good.

PS WELCOME

Spent $150 on Danskos and then ended up twisting my ankle so bad had to have surgery. Off work for six weeks and still having terrible foot pain a year and a half later.

New Balance for me. But, I went to a specialized shoe store, got fitted appropriately (had been wearing the wrong size shoes for 15 years) and my foot pain is better.

I just bought a pair of Dansko's, I haven't even worn them to work yet. I thought they were comfy when I tried them on in the store, I wore them around while I did the rest of my shopping. Most of the posts are negative though, I'm wondering if I should return them. Does anybody have anything good to say about Dansko's?

I just bought a pair and have worn them around the house on the carpet for maybe an hour or so. Not very comfortable so far, so I don't want to wear them to work until I know if they'll "break in". Any ideas on when or if they'll become comfortable?
