Though I'd love to be able to wear Crocs and Danskos - I too have fallen arches as well as wide feet. My podiatrist makes removable insoles for me and I find either New Balance or Avia walkers in wide widiths comfortable for my 12 - 13+ hour shifts. I also wear Sigvaris or Jobst firm compression knee highs.
My favorite shoes ever, so awesome that I have them in two colors, are a Reebok sneaker clog that I bought on Zappos.com! They're somewhat ugly and utilitarian looking, but the have the greatest fit. I've worn them for plenty of double shifts and my feet don't hurt at the end. Plus, they're not too expensive.

What are the best (most comfortable) shoes to wear while on the floor for that long 12-13+ hour day? I've tried Crocs, Nike's, K-Swiss, and Asics and my feet are still killin' me by about mid-day! I've noticed some nurses on my floor are wearing Born, Merrell and Dansko clogs-type looking things. However, I can't wear Dansko due to my extremely flat feet, I don't have much of an arch. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!!!!
