iwanna's post in Comfortable shoes? Do they exist? was marked as the answerI think the comfort of a shoe is a very individual opinion. What works for one, may not work for another. Your best bet is to go to a good shoe store. There is one in my area where they scan your foot and recommend what type and brand of shoe you should wear.
I had to go to a place that specializes in orthopedic shoes and orthotic inserts. This was after I tried all kind of shoe brands. Nike, New Balance, Reebock, Avia, Easy Spirit. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my feet are beginning to deform. I had a nodule removed from my left foot which grew back in a few months. Then my right foot was very painful. My orthopedic surgeon said that the only option would be bunionectomy. I really did not want to go the surgery route. He suggested that I go to this specialty store. It really made a world of difference. The shoes made in the other stores are not wide enough for me in the toe box, since I have bilateral bunions now.
My friend had a foot scan done at the specialty store. They recommended a certain orthotic insert in his shoe. His complaint was knee pain, and the inserts corrected is problem.
Good luck in finding the right footwear. It is really important when you are on your feet all day.
