What are the best shoes for 12 hours shifts. Has anybody tried the new "butt toners" from sketchers and nike?

I use Z coils and love them. Bit expensive but they last forever so the trade off is a good one.

I am going to get the ones from Reebok in the next couple weeks if I ever make my way to the store. They are the only ones that I have seen that aren't so ugly.

I have Crocs (no support but super light), New Balances (love them but can't keep em tied), and knock off Dansko's (Spring Step or something and I wear these the most). I've tried on the new Sketchers but they are super clunky and ugly.

I swear by Dansko clogs...I work 16h shifts. I've tried New Balance, Asics shoes and anything but clogs leaves

me with achy legs. I used to get cramps, legs just felt awful. Clogs to me are like essential "equipment"!

I have tried Dansko... I gave them about three months (the recommended trial) and didn't care for them... I wear Nike Air shoes... I am on my feet about 99% of the day...

I have the Sketchers and I love them! :loveya: I bought a second pair. They don't feel heavy to me, the bottoms are "squishy" enough to absorb shock and my legs and back feel great! I bought them for comfort, not for toning, so I haven't paid any attention to that aspect.

I wear Sanita in the Marcelle style. They are awesome! My first pair of clogs were the Dansko Professional and it took me 3 months to break them in. I almost gave up on them. Then I read about how Dansko used to be made by Sanita, so I tried them. Zero break in needed and they are more comfortable thank Danskos in my opinion.

I need to try the Reeboks..precisely for the toning aspect. ;)
