As much as I love my Shox, I didn't like the TL3. Having all those columns on the front of the shoe felt weird to me....

I'll stick with my current pair. I replace mine about every 1-2 years, since I wear them everywhere, and they get a little dingy looking. My current pair has a one-piece upper, so the tongue doesn't slide all around, which I HATED.

Hello steve! you should try the classic one next time, or the NZ both of them have regular tongues..

The only shoes that I have been able to wear all day long without my heals hurting are crocs, with an extra heal insert for added comfort.

Oh.... I meant I LIKE the one-piece tongue, because it doesn't slide over to one side all the time...

I talked to two male RNs about this same question and they both recommended Dansko. The "rocker" sole is supposed to be very invigorating for tired feet.

I have Merrell clogs, Z-coil clogs, and MBTs. The only ones I like for work are the Z-coils. I just tried on a pair of Danskos and was impressed with the arch support - which I could feel even though the shoe was slightly too small. I am probably going to look for the best price online and ask Zappos.com to price match it.

You guys have also made me interested in trying Nike Shox and New Balance. Good topic....always interested in threads on shoes.

I'm wearing Nike Shox. Same all white leather from Finish Line that CSANTOS showed a pic of. Best shoes I've had thus far.

I am wearing Rockport shoes and find them to be very comfortable. I would think I may try the Nike Shox everyone seems to love here. Thanks for the info guys.

Totally agree with the Nike Shox. I wear em every day and my feet have never hurt, even when I worked 12's. Hope Nike keeps making em after I graduate!

Man I wish i could wear shox. My feet are nice and wide and nike cuts them so dang narrow. Right now Im wearing my biking shoes, they are the softer kind, not the hard plastic and they work great.

Does anyone wear Crocs?
