Anyone on their feet for a long period of time?
Bartenders/Servers/Nurses....
Please recm'd a pair of shoes that you find to work best.
I've been wearing ballarina flats for 10+ hrs and they're just not cutting it b/c they offer no support.
I went to aerosoles and no luck there.
I do want something a little more dressy than sneakers.

If they look like shoes - definitely. I've tried going the all leather black Puma sneaker route but they weren't dressy enough.
It's for my personal business - Wedding Planning/Day of Coordinator....so I need something a little dressier.

Re: Anyone on their feet for a long period of time?
Have you tried Geox? There shoes are supposed to be very comfortable. I know there is a store in the Queens center mall and in Roosevelt Field. They have flats and sneakers that have more support. Some of the shoes look a litle frumpy, but I will see if I can find any cute pairs.

These are Geox on Zappos. They may not be the most "stylish" but they look comfortable and would serve the purpose!
I'm not sure if this pair comes in black.

Re: Anyone on their feet for a long period of time?
I wear loafers, all the time. I know they're a little farty, but man am I comfy. I have a really pretty pair of Ann Kleins I got at DSW. Wonderful stuff.
LOL- how about easy spirits? Looks like a pump, feels like a sneaker? Remember the commercial witht he ladies playing basketball in their pumps?

I actually have these! Unfortunately, they don't offer enough support for me.

Re: Anyone on their feet for a long period of time?
Have you triesd arch support inserts?
Even in boots, my feet roll, so I use Dr.Scholl's inserts.
You mayve to try & few different kinds to find the ones that work for you, and you may find that different ones work with different shoes.

Re: Anyone on their feet for a long period of time?
I was a waitress and now am a respiratory therapist so I have always worked long hours on my feet. The ONLY shoes that I can wear everyday are my Dansko clogs. The pair I wear to work I have had for about 10 years and they are the most comfortable shoes in the world. You need to break them in a little before they get really comfy, but they are great for the back. Not too hot to look at but they do the job
