New Balance sneakers have been comfortable for me; in addition, they come in wide widths for those of us who have wider feet.

Another like for New Balance :)

Having wide feet also, I love my New Balance. They are my go to choice for running shoes so that my feet can naturally expand while running and walking. I would say your best bet is to go to an actual New Balance store if you have one in your area and you can actually try on all the different width to find the most comfortable.

I've never tried those; I'll take a look at them - thank you!

Don't judge, I love MBTs! They are pricey (and ugly) but very comfortable!

Oh, sorry one more brand that I love is Keens.

I alternate between a pair of Danskos and a pair of Brooks running shoes. A vast majority of people I work with wear Brooks. Very comfy out of the box.

For the first time I stepped away from the sneakers (a Nike running shoe--they are comfy but needed new pair of shoes), I have to be careful of sneakers--sounds silly, but if the sneaker has a leather "band" that hits at my little toe, it rubs me wrong the whole day, compression socks or not--and I wear compression socks now every day. (makes a HUGE difference!)

I thought I would try clogs. Santina brand, with, of course, compression socks. I can not tell you how comfortable they are. My feet are really wide, (and flat, so I do not have a high arch). Not for work I had a pair years ago without a back. They were comfy. I got them this time with a back and they have been awesome!!

I went to a store to find out what shoe would be best for me and my gait. There are athletic shoe stores that will do this for you. I wear an Asics shoe which gives me the support that I need.

Asics arent wide enough for me

love my New Balance, also love Sausany (I think I spelled that wrong)- also love Dr Scholl's inserts with all of those little raised bumps on them- I find that my feet and back are much happier if I do not wear the same shoes for more that 2 consecutive shifts.
