Can anyone recommend a comfortable dress shoe? Three of my work places require dress shoes, but it has become increasingly difficult to stand. I used to be able to wear high heels all day with little issue, now I can barely wear flats. I own Clarks which are very supportive, but not enough. I have tried on Dansko shoes but they are never cut right for my feet.
Similarly, does anyone have any techniques to save your feet after a long day of standing?

Members enthusiastically shared their favorite comfortable dress shoe brands for standing all day at work, with Skechers emerging as a popular choice for their gel memory foam insoles, alongside strong recommendations for Merrell, Keen, Vionic, Born, and Alegria shoes. Several members suggested practical solutions like adding Dr. Scholl's gel inserts to existing shoes for extra cushioning and support, noting these can be trimmed to fit any shoe. A recurring theme was that investing in quality supportive footwear is worth the higher price given how much relief it provides for feet and overall comfort during long workdays.

I wear sketchers they have Dress shoes and casual shoes but they have Gel memory foam in the inside of your shoe. You can get them at Famous Brand shoes, Kohls. Another thing I do is use Dr. Scholes gel pads in my other shoes and you cut them to fit. I use those still on my others. Makes a world of difference! Hope this helps!

The Danskos and Sanitas worked for me for a long time but even those are beginning to hurt. I like Clarks when I can find a good fit. My new favorite is Alegria.

I swear by my Merrels but when I don't have to have shoes on I go barefoot or slippered in house.

Sketchers are great for me. Can be a bit pricey but well worth it.
