Do you have a lock on...

[chiefsfan93]

I'm wondering any of you who work on your feet all day have a favorite shoe you have that is the best and you just feel is superior.

I've been wearing desert boots with arch inserts since I was 12 (about 40 years) and never had any problems.

Rockport is my friend.

I had a dream about putting shoes on over a pair of tongs
I don't think they would qualify for this thread
overtongs don't sound comfortable

That's a generic type. Probably dozens of brands make them (including Rockport which has already been mentioned). I think my favorite was Hush Puppies but more sentimentality than reality.

I used to use Dr. Scholl's inserts for many, many years. It was an adjustable version - leather with little pockets you could add cork pieces as needed.

But since I tried gel arches about five years ago, that's the ticket now.

What about sneakers?

I've almost never been able to get a good fit on sneakers. My feet are too narrow and arches too high.

The only pair I ever had that fit right was a brand called K-Swiss back in the early '70s. The company didn't last, though.

[edit] I just GOOGLED them - I see they're back. I'll have to check them out again.

Eccos work for me. They are a little pricey and they will make you look like Euro-trash, but they are pretty comfy for a casual leather shoe.

I've had a pair of Nike Shox that I wear pretty much every day for something like 3 years. I've worn them camping, to concerts, etc. and they still are in great shape and don't look like 3 year old shoes. They cost over $100 but it's been worth it for a shoe that has lasted that long.

I bought some shox and liked them but in the plant it was kinda rough on them and the mesh pulled away at the toes. I'm a maint. tech and all the positions i put on my shoes wear them, but not from dirt water or anything.
I have went through 2 pairs of new balance country walkers from cabelas,but they seem to wear fast too.
