I know that this question has been asked a 100 times before but I am going to ask again.... What is the best nursing tennis shoe? Doesn't have to be all whire or whatever. Just looking for comfort. I have a high arch and have considered that Nike Shock but I am usure. Thanks in advance!:D

Crocs are a pretty comfortable, light-weight shoe. I've heard Nike Shocks are a very good shoe to buy as well. I've always used Addidas or K-Swiss shoes, and have had no problems with them! Bottem line is don't get a cheap off brand shoe, because I've tried that, and it really makes a difference - plus they don't hold up as well.

Hope that helps some!

Some swear by running shoes. For me, it's running shoes for running, and walking shoes for walking. I've got NB walking shoes for work -- leather, all white -- and they've got lots of life left in them even after a few years. They're more comfortable than the running shoes which I use for -- you guessed it -- running.

I get different shoes each time... From Brooks to Crocs to New Balance. I look at comfort first and make sure that I can tolearate 12+ hours in a pair...

I have several pairs and rotate on a daily basis. I love my Nursemates, and I also have several pairs of Crocs (the un-holey ones as well as those with just the lower vent holes), and Nikes but I'm not sure which style.

I wear Shox and love love love them! I am very hard on my shoes, and I managed to wear my last pair for about 9 months before I needed to get a new pair. I also wear Dansko's every once in a while, but for the most part its my shox!
