If I had that kind of job, probably the only shoes that would work for me would be the Nike Air Max. The air-pocket cushioning in the heel does not degrade over time the way other types of cushioning do. They have a wide toe box, which I also need, and good foot support. I like the mesh tops because they allow my feet to breathe a little.
I tried New Balance once years ago and did not like them as much. What I have read here on the QB is that the higher the model # of NB, the better the shoe.
