PLEASE HELP??? I need some Extremely comfortable slip-resistant restaurant shoes.?

My work shoes are KILLING my feet and I work about 7-10 hour shifts at work, so I'm pretty much standing all day!!!! I really need you guys to help me. People at work tell me to Dr. Scholl's insoles for my shoes and I think it's a good idea because I already got work shoes that are slip-resistant, I just DESPERATLY need COMFORT in my shoes but some say insoles aren't that great and they think I should get a new pair of Reebok from Academy.





** What is your opinion on which I should chose or even a suggestion of a different brand maybe????





** Speak you mind please I'm all ears!!!

Crocs might be a good choice if your employer will let you.
Reply:I have tried a lot of types over the years and my favorites are the selection available at www.keukafootwear.com. They are way better than shoes for crews or the ones you get at payless shoe stores. They also have a satisfaction guarantee. From the website: As a Keuka Footwear customer, you are assured of our Keuka Guarantee of Satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with the style, size, comfort, or fit of your purchase, return the NEW UNWORN shoes, for a prompt refund or exchange within 30 days of receipt of purchase.





60 Day Shoe Replacement


If a manufacturer's defect or material failure occurs WITHIN 60 DAYS OF PURCHASE, Keuka Footwear will replace your shoes absolutely free of charge.
Reply:Here are some links to websites that have slip-resistant shoes (some even meant for kitchen/restaurant working specifically):

Also, as some have suggested in previous posts, if none of these suit your needs (which they should) I would check into purchasing shoes for nursing. If the correct ones are purchased they are both slip resistant %26amp; comfortable to support long working hours.

Good luck, Get Safe %26amp; Comfy!!
Reply:Look at Nurses Shoes, think about it, they are on there feet all day, long shifts, and orthopedics are almost custom made to fit medical professionals.


They normally come in white but can be dyed black easy.


They are comfy, non skid, built to walk and stand in.

Reply:I was once a nurse and had the same problem long shifts and needed non slip shoes, Hush puppies shoes are brilliant not that great to look at but flat, non slip and are the most comfortable shoes ever even after a long day at work!!!!
Reply:Crocs are comfortable and slip resistant. Even a lot of surgeons are wearing them.
Reply:waitress for 20 years. Payless (yes Payless) has a pair of black slip-ons...no laces, no velcro, its just a loafer. I've been wearing them for about 7 years now and a LOT of pp I work are wearing them as well.


Sketchers Ballyhoo- (white) it's a bike shoe. SUPER COMFY super cute- however I did notice they were a little slippery when I went in the coolers. (?)


I had no problem spending $60 for black rebok hightops for years until I discovered the Payless shoe.


***note- a customer complimented my Ballyhoo %26amp; about 5 other EMPLOYEES chimed in--"I'm wearing sketchers, too"
Reply:try first of all purchasing a good pair of shoes like dr martins or dansko clogs, then purchase some of the insoles for added padding. working long shifts on cement are killers on your feet, legs and back . they wont prevent problems but can help.
Reply:I used to wait tables and my feet would ache and hurt at the end of my shifts.


Try Dankso clogs. They're the best! Doctors and nurses wear them all the time. I do believe they have a line for "professionals" such as yourself who need anit-slip, anti- static, white or other specific features.


You also might want to check out Birkenstock. They have a line of professional shoes too.


Both options are a bit pricey, but as I always say, you get what you pay for. I have worn both brands and I have no complaints. It will literally take you forever to wear these shoes out!
Reply:not sure where you live,but if it is in the UK then Clarks have the most comfy shoes. they are not cheap,but they are extremely comfortable and last well.
