Those are rather intriguing though, especially since they look to be made from hemp, never really heard of anything besides hemp sandals. OT though, I've got a pair of Nike 6.0's that are pretty damn comfortable, and they were relatively cheap ($40-50 maybe). Some of the other shoes look pretty nice though | ||

Obviously you need good, supportive shoes that should be custom fit (although non-custom shoes can work) for maximum comfort. To be honest, I don't know shit about what kind of shoes are the best in terms of support and confort, but I can tell you right now you DON'T want all of these stupid tennis/hiking shoes that people post because they are their favorite shoes. I mean, they may be comfortable in the beginning, but after a couple months most retail store shoes start to lose their cushion and you have to buy new shoes again. The best solution in my (naive) opinion is to get some custom-made orthotics and really get your moneys worth. As for all of the future posters....STOP POSTING YOUR FAVORITE SHOES, like converse, seriously?? I sure hope you were trolling... | ||

I assume that the objective when dressing to work is to convey professionalism and competence while remaining comfortable. Wearing old t-shirts, sneakers and jeans isn't bad for school or just casual wear, but I doubt that it'd really go well for work, unless the dress code for work explicitly stated otherwise. It doesn't matter if you're working retail as a cashier or floor associate or anything else, if you want to be noticed for a higher position, dressing a little more professionally is one way to do it (although you must be proficient at the job before that, of course). It's not like I'm recommending some $400 wingtips or anything. I dunno man... but where I live, khakis and shoes that look like they were made for hiking is a step down in professionalism at pretty much any workplace from dark jeans and nice sneakers. Maybe its just the work culture here. | ||

I'm stuck standing with steel toed boots for the whole day and I recommend you go marks work warehouse or some similar store in the USA. My personal pair has a very nice memory foam sole and it's ridiculously good for standing for 8+ hours. As a suggestion working retail, if possible, keep moving. If you stand still and lock your knees for a while, it'll actually make your legs feel like shit really fast. Yeah i wear something like this also, granted they were new when i bought them, but the first pair i had i wore so long the bottom came out of them one day. Granted they were more comfortable than anything id wore yet | ||

I got the slip resistant kitchen shoes, twice now. The first pair I wore until all of the black wore off and my boss told me I had to get new shoes. Also, the first pair took about a week or 2 to break in, and my feet never hurt worse than that first week I had them, but once I broke them in they were marvelous. My second pair didn't need to be broken in. The best thing is that they are affordable. Dr. Scholl's insoles can also make a world of difference. Use that insole finder at Walmart to pinpoint which type you should get. ![[image loading]](http://www.shoesforcrews.com/sfc3/images/products/US_en/5052/detail_zoom.jpg) That only runs about $40 on their store and will last for a couple of years, maybe longer because it won't be as rough as in a kitchen. | ||

Either that or a decent pair of skate shoes. Those things have a ridiculous amount of padding, and the low-key ones look pretty decent too. Just stay away from the florescent shit, you're not in 3rd grade anymore. Also, try shit on, above all else. Nothing is worse than getting shoes off the internet cause they look cool and don't do the job they need to be doing (especially if you have wider feet) which is keep you comfortable while you're on your feet all day. Or take the guy above me's advice. Those shoes might not look super awesome, but they were designed for your very purpose. | ||

If he's making 900g's a year i think he'd wear SF's, birks, etc because they are def more comfortable. There's a different between what you wear in the office and use to meet clients, being in retail they're constantly in need to have a professional image. Unless you really like the look, i dont see a reason to wear those, there are many better looking choices that are just as comfortable. | ||
