GEL-1140 is an old model, the new one is called 1150, and if we're really talking comfortable shoes you need to upgrade to 2150, Nimbus or Kayano. Kayanos are too good to be wasted on walking though, the support they give the foot makes them godlike for running. If you are just using them for standing/walking they're great. A cheaper and also very viable alternative are ASICS Pulse, very cheap and a good bang for your buck. (ASICS - anima sana in corpore sano, healthy mind, healthy body)

I use 2140 at work (standing for 8+ hours a day) and they're OK. Many of my colleagues use Kayanos, since they tried them on and can't go back. The ASICSs gel is just amazing.

Other viable alternatives are Nike Free, very lightweight and still comfortable, Nike Structure, a bit heavier but with so much patented gas in them they'll last quite long or Nike Air Span. For Trekking shoes I prefer Ecco or The North Face, though both brands are fairly expensive.

Also do note if you stand alot invest in 2 pair of shoes, they'll last much longer than one and remain comfortable longer as well.

For Sneakers I prefer Adidas superstar, since they're cheap, good-looking and highly breathable. I can't really afford them too often so I use a pair of 15$ Race Marine sneakers atm - not as pleasant as a more expensive pair though.

Overall most comfortable: ASICS Kayano by faaaaaaaar.

I wore sneakers all my life, doesn't matter the weather. I was growing up being 100% confident that the most comfortable ones were always asics and new balance, even though I've never worn new balance in my entire life. But as time passed I started to lean towards nike a lot, it sure doesn't last as long as some but it is really comfortable if you pick it carefully.

Asics are amazing, especially if you're doing sports, but they don't look as good in the urban atmosphere and get dirty real fast (most of them have whitish patterns). Adidas are probably most durable, but not as comfy. New balance is straight up ugly. Puma and all the shoe-like sneakers are something I've never tried and probably won't try. I pick nike~
