What SHOES do you recommend?

I LOVE, LOVE the Nursemate Quarky (sp?) slip on clog!!!!
They are super lightweight, easy to clean and I can wear them ALL day without my feet hurting. I wear Birks when I'm not at work so I am pretty picky about my shoes. I am on my 2nd pair and they only cost about $40.
Hope that helps.

I'm going through the same dilemma as far as trying to find a comfy shoe for long shifts. I don't have the answer for what type of shoe, but I've been browsing on allheart.com and they have a great selection for pretty descent prices, giving you a discount for multiple purchases. good luck!

I love Klogs. They have great arch support and shock absorption. I can go through my whole shift without my feet hurting. I have the LaJolla ones and plan to get another style soon.

I have tried Danskos and found them way too hard with not enough shock absorption. Crocs were super comfy for a while but just not supportive enough. I think Klogs are the best.

Also the cushioning is great.
