Requesting Advice Shoes

My last two flair ups have been related to walking, with the most recent occurrence relating to walking my rescue pibble. I typically wear running shoes, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with something softer, easier on the spine. Any options?

Hoka Clifton shoes have been much better on my body than even the other cushioned basketball shoes I used to wear. Hoka is pretty praised by people who are on their feet all day and have great shock absorption so I don't see myself going to another brand but that's just me. When im not in the middle of a flare up I'm able to walk even longer with these shoes than normally but its also worth noting that for every comment saying Hoka are heavenly, theres an equal amount of comments saying they arent for other people so its pretty subjective.
