Hey everyone! 👟

 

What are your go-to shoes for long shifts? Share your favorite brands or models that offer the best comfort and support! Also any discounts you know about?

Can't go wrong with Danskos!  They are pricey up front, but last FOREVER and are so comfortable for long shifts.  Wore the same pair for 4 years!!

I agree so much with this! Alegria is another brand that has shoes so similar to Danskos, and they often have sales on their shoes. I owned only one pair of Danskos that ran over $100, but I still have them intact a decade later. I switched to Alegria because they have rocker soles like Dansko with arch support, but you can remove and change out the footbed after years of use, and this makes them a better bargain; IMO, these were my favorite Alegria's I used to have.

Yes! Alegria's shoes are great! I can also back the following brands:

 

• Dansko Professional Clogs

• Alegria Classic Clogs

• Nike Air Zoom Pulse

• Brooks Ghost 14

• Hoka One One Bondi 7

• Merrell Encore Ice

• Adidas Ultraboost 21

I gotta say for me Hoka's take the cake and they have some cute designs. BUT they can be $$$. Thinking about Danskos for the support but can also be pricey. What is your opinion on these for anyone that has tried???

[Nenad Ivanovic]

I heard all the best about Clove, Hoka, Brooks, and of course Asics. We might say even many running shoes can be good category to look at.

Also, to buy Alegria, they have a "last chance" on this website with huge discounts, and I also own boots and sandals for outside of the workplace - all bought at great prices. The only downside to some of the sandals is that they might not have replaceable footbed, depending on the style. https://www.alegriashoeshop.com/Alegria-Shoes-On-Sale-s/91.htm

I think if you get to use them for a long while, then the price shouldn't matter: quality over everything else! It's so important to be comfortable during your shifts!
