Merrell Moab's

Asics Gel Kayano

I do 12hr shifts as nurse and these things are crazy comfortable.

Saucony and Asics

Kuru and brooks

Ecco makes a decent shoe. I used to sell them a while back.

+1 for Asics too

I was a runner for about 25 years. Tried just about every brand and style available at the time for my daily walkers, runners, and work shoes. Switched to good quality hiking boots about 10 years ago and haven't looked back. I'm on my feet all day long. I still own a pair of high end New Balance running/walking shoes that I use once in a while but the hiking boots are my main footware. Two pair last about a year.

FWIW I'm 6ft and about 200 lbs.

Asics running shoes and athletic in soles.

Make sure you get the right shoe designed for your foot.

Running shoes and sneakers are not fit for purpose. Get some Red Wing Boots. Nothing better for standing on concrete or factory floors all day. The red-ish colored ones are still made in the USA (last time I checked). You will look like a dork but your hip joints, your knees and your back will thank you. I'm sure they make something more fashionably pleasing but I can only speak for the old-style Red Wing boots.

I buy Merrils and put in the Dr Scholls inserts from the kiosk at Wal-Mart. Ends up around S150 total but my heel pain has been gone ever since.

The issue isn't as much about being on your feet all day as it is about being on a cement floor all day. Red Wing boots are your best answer for cement floors - I know from years of experience! The issue I see for the York Show is you really don't have much time to break them in. It takes a few weeks to break in a new pair of shoes so they feel great all day.

I'm a salesman and am in and out of factories all day long, walking all over. Hands down the best shoes I have ever bought, Doc Martens. I bought a pair and haven't looked back since. we went to Philly 2 years ago, wore them all day walking around old town.

I'm with roc-noc & Insane, hiking boots deserve serious consideration.
Ever since discovering Keen's offerings, I'm a big fan.
Boots, mid height, sandals, all have had excellent support and cushion.
6' 4" 220. On my feet all day, virtually every day as an AV/surveillance installer.

I can second Keen or Merrell hiking boots. I used to work 12 hour shifts where I didn't sit literally once all shift. I'm a big dude too about 260 at the time and these hiking boots with Dr. Scholls inserts worked like a dream. I used to swear by asics but they are not even close to the quality or support of a good pair of Keen or Merrell's.

Converse all stars for me. I can last about 7 hours then me feet feel like I've been walking on hot coals all day. Maybe I better rethink this...

I find the key for a pinball weekend is a few footwear changes to keep things fresh.

These are probably the #1 shoe, especially since the legend wore these on his North American Tour.

Pumas are my go to. Most comfortable brand of sneaker I've ever worn.
