| Shoes As a teacher I am on my feet all day. I get to wear jeans two days a week as long as I wear a school tshirt. I am a Nike fan and would love to stick with Nike. Any suggestion on a Nike shoe that is good if you are on your feet all day? My friend said shox but there are many different ones. Shox Turbo, Shox NZ, Shox Reveal, etc. My son says Nike Free. Any experience with these? Or should I look at a different brand? All this walking, running, training business is driving me nuts! I don't know which to look at! And what is up with all these cazy colors!!

| I would definitely NOT get the Nike Free. There is zero cushioning in those, they are supposed to be like running barefoot. I have found, over the years, that Nikes don't have much cushioning and if they start out with some, it wears down really fast. I love Asics, they are super comfy, for athletic shoes. If you go to a specialty shoe store, you'll be able to find some good shoes that are good for being on your feet all day, like for nurses and waitresses, etc. They may not be super-fashionable, but they are making the comfy shoes look much better than they used to Good luck in your search

| I'd find a running/walking shop. they are great for this. They will spend tons of time helping you find some and ten you can walk on an in store treadmill. If you buy them, use them, and then decide they don't work you can return them. It really has everything to do with what works for you. New Balance...and only one or two styles...work for me because .i can't have high arches.

| I just don't think they make trainers like they used to. The first sets of Reebok walkers were the most comfortable I'd ever had...the ones they make today, don't compare. I took my son to buy new shoes when he was last home from college. Bought a $160 pair of Nike Shox...and then the sales guy wanted to sell him a $10 pair of gel insoles to "make them more comfortable" He insisted on putting one in a shoe so my son could compare with/without. He said it definately made a difference and so we bought the insoles as well. I bought a pair of the insoles for myself too.... and put them in my old trainers If you find something amazing comfortable, please share....my gel insoles have since lost their cush.

| I will have to message my boyfriend tomorrow and find out the kind of Nike that we found for him. He is on his feet all day checking different job sites etc, and I went with him to find him a pair because he needed something comfortable that would be cushioned and help his back. I will have to find out the name of the exact Nike, and I will post it tomorrow. I can tell you that the Nike pair he had vs the Nike style he switched to is literally the difference in night and day! The cushioning difference is unbelievable. Once he started wearing the more cushioned Nike pair, he was sold. He is now on his third pair. |

| I know exactly what you're talking about!!! I'm pretty picky, and I tried to find the least bright shoes I could!!! I teach 3 back to back 2 hour microbiology labs, twice a week. My feet were KILLING me! So, I ventured out and bought these Nike Women´s Shox Roadster+ Running Shoes | Dillards.com I've always been a fan of shox, and these did the trick for me! My mom tried the shox and wasn't a fan, so I think its very subjective.

| My daughter started teaching last year and her feet were a mess until she tried a pair of my Merrell's- she is sold! They aren't running shoes but if you need shoes for the other days the Q-form footbed is amazing (the restaurant people use their black clogs, I worked at Sams Club for a few years and I was the only one who had no foot aches) My husband has super wide,short feet and is hard on the insides of sneakers- he wears New Balance for the fit. |

| I just bought these and I LOVE them! Nike Air Total Core Cross-Trainers - Women They are soooo lightweight and comfortable, they have good air flow so my feet don't get overheated. I like cross training sneaks the most. They used to not be so mesh or open so my feet got so hot, but these are almost all mesh, so they are very comfy!
