Nurse Mates are very firm and supportive with a nice arch support.  They're made for women who are constantly on their feet.

If you dont want sweaty, clammy feet, don't buy the knit poly sneakers that are so prevalent now.  They're hot too.

Sneakers are only one option and an inexpensive brand probably won't give you what you need and want.

Merrell makes nice clog type slip ons.  Wonderful support.  I have yet to wear out a sole.

I need cushioning for my knees and I'm an 11W in most athletic shoes.  I've found I can take a 10W in Easy Spirit Traveltime and I often remove their insole after it wears down and replace it with another brand of insole. 

For sneakers, I've purchased Altra shoes.....they come in different widths depending on the shoe, are zero drop and I change/add additional insoles when theirs wear out. Found I could not get the right fit w/Hokas. 

If you need to purchase online, I would try Zappos - they have free shipping and returns (UPS) - I believe you can return up to a year. Their prices are not as good as they used to be. 

Good luck!

Hoka, Brooks and Kuru, Merrill. Kuru is for people with foot issues. They are online only but they're return policy is great. I used them when I was suffering with plantar fasciitis.

I tried Easy Spirit and was very underwhelmed. Ordered 5 pairs and found them very lacking and sizes inconsistent. I also don’t like big logos on my sneakers. I like them somewhat more “dressy” than casual. I work in cosmetics so it needs to be black to go along with my clothes. Thanks

I live on Long Isand and I see they only have locations in the city. I refuse to go to the city, so that’s out.

I have New Balance, leather sneakers from LandsEnd and Keds. Color is most important to me.

[SaveTheTurtles]

Hoka's and New Balance 1080 foam are my favorites.

@Ainhisg   Saucony fan here,too! I love them and I walk every day between 4-5 miles so I need arch support and good cushioning. Sometimes I can find them at Marshall's. Otherwise I go to DSW for a better selection.
