I personally love Nurse mates.They are extremely comfortable.
Sometimes nurses or nursing assistants ask me where I purchased them.
They tend to be expensive though like around 75 $

Also I love Dockers especially clogs.Oh my God they do wonders for your feet.They cost about 45 dollars,love them.

I am pretty happy with New Balance. I'm on my 3rd pair from them, about to buy more (I get them buy one, get one half off at Famous Footwear). My chiropractor got me started on them...she also gave me the tip that the higher numbers they are more supportive.

I've also found that wearing TED hose keeps my feet a LOT more comfortable!!

Nursemates KILLED my feet.

It might be the way I walk, or the fact that I'm overweight (most likely a combo of the two), but all of the stiff shoes that people rave about (nursemates, danskos, etc) are terrible on my feet. I spent a ton of money on a pair of each, and both hurt my feet within 10 minutes of putting them on, even after trying different sizes and allowing weeks to "break in".

I need/prefer something with good cushioning. I don't like sneakers because of the way they rub...I flex my feet a lot when I walk. I have the best luck with Crocs...brand name only, no knockoffs. I like the Specialist type...no ugly holes on top, and they come in true white. They have better arch support than the "beach" type Crocs and are not obnoxious looking. They have a good heel strap and are slightly thicker to protect your metatarsals.

I found mine for 23 bucks and it was the best 23 bucks I've spent in a long time.

I just found Merrell shoes. Oh. My. God.

I will never buy another brand or type of shoe to work in. They are so comfortable and have so much support.

They were originally designed for hikers, so they're made to be durable.

Trust me; buy once, cry once.

I just had to go buy a new pair today and ended up with the Asics 2130's. Feel fairly comfortable so far and bought them from Finish Line. Never been before, but I do like the selection/staff. The shoes I just wore out were the Asics Nimbus 10's. Those were comfortable but after about 7-8 months, a hole started to develop on the mesh part of the top of the shoe. Argh! So an excuse to rotate some shoes was in place.

Default Danskos & Crocs for the bargain-hunter
It seems that everyone has said they love their Danskos and Crocs and I definitely LOVE my Danskos. I know they can be quite expensive but if you happen to be able to find a Nordstrom Rack by your area they often get in Crocs for <$20 and Danskos for $30-40 depending on the color (I've been able to find 2 pairs of black and white ones for $34). Happy shopping

If they want to dictate the type of shoe I can wear, they can purchase it for me. Otherwise, I'm protecting my feet, legs and back.
The reason they have been banned here is actually in part due to back injuries. They are considered a major slipping and tripping hazard. If your crocs cause you to fall and injure yourself in BC, you will not be covered by WCB.

I switch between the Dansko Professional and the C&C Sweden clog. I love both. The Dansko is solid support, and the C&C is a little softer (and pretty, as well!). The both cost about the same.
