OT: most comfortable -office- shoe?

Variations on a Theme of XXtwindad

Piggybacking on the momentum of the other thread:

Early last year I got a painful and lingering case of plantar fasciitis, and after lengthy experimentation ended on some $40 Skechers foamycloud things. It was instant relief, and I've had no pain since. I'm also comfortable in my Birkenstock and Chacos sandals.

But, they look a little goofy in the office. I still wear them though.

I don't need fancy dress shoes at work, but semipro/simple would be good.

Your basic black shoe that works well with modern business casual, whatever that is...

Thanks.

Lems kourt, a little more casual. Cork bed, zero drop, lightweight, roomy.

You might try orthotics in shoes of the proper size. I had custom orthotics made to deal with my faciitis 30+ years ago but these days I think you might do fine getting fitted at Good Feet or a similar store. MANY men are not in the correct size shoes. Lots of guys who have been squeezed into 9EEE should probably be wearing 10 1/2C so whatever support the shoes offer would line up with the arch of the foot.

Black running shoes. I wear them in business casual situations (slacks, button shirt, blazer).

I do a lot of walking in them and my feet are happy. The shoes are unobtrusive and you'll be surprised to notice how many others are doing the same...

Of course, if you're in a situation where you need to impress...
