    I wear Clarks, Merril's Reiker, and Josef Seibel shoes.

    I have just retired a pair of Merril's that are about 9 years old.

    Munro shoes are worth a splurge. Made in the USA too.

    I tried SAS years ago and found that the did not last as well as I expected for the money I spent.

    I have feet problems, too, and my doctor says that Merrills and LLBeans are good for me. My supports fit into them nicely.

    I am a nurse and use Birkenstock shoes. I did not know if they were going to kill me that first week of breaking them in or I was going to throw them out. Ten years later, I am about to buy my next pair.

    MBT's hands down. No imitations. Pricey but worth every penny. Shop on line for sales.

    Another vote for Easy Spirit Traveltime, the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, from a QB member with bad feet. Total comfort, I can wear them for hours and hours.

    Are any of these dress shoes? And how can you buy shoes online without trying them on? I try mine on in the store and think they'e fine, and later realize that the arch doesn't really fit my foot. I don't have problems with tennis shoes oreven casual, but dressier ones for church and such are really hard to fine. I can't have a heel either b/c of other issues and need an arch.

    Default comfortabel shoes

    My favorite shoes
    Clarks, ECCO, SAS, Born. I use Rockport tennis shoes. I do also buy slip on Easy Spirit tennis shoes.

    Non of these are cheap but worth the money.
