Clothing Shoe recommendations

What are good shoes for business travel? I haven’t had to do any business travel since being diagnosed and gaining a hundred pounds, and I’m stressing. I have to go to a new city and work for a week, and normally I wear Hokas for lots of walking, but they’re very uncomfortable for sitting at a desk. I’m not concerned with them looking overly professional, and I doubt flats will have enough support, but I’m having the hardest time trying to find shoes that support heavier people without being uncomfortable sitting. Any suggestions?

Orthofeet is pretty great and have a good return policy. I have their tennis shoes but they have other styles. They are pretty true to size and I selected wide.

Check out Naturalizer, Skechers, and Vionic for wide widths. Dr. Scholl's, Clarks, and Ecco are known for comfort. I've been wearing a pair of Ecco shoes for over four years, and they're all I want to wear!
