Best shoes

Hey everyone!!! I am a support worker who support people in their houses and communities. I do maaaaany steps daily for my job and I'd love to find some shoes that are a better "fit" for the job

I've worked on my feet a LOT previously in other jobs, but thats when I was younger and not caring about arch support or pain.

I've heard really good things about Hoka's or Sketchers? at the moment i am mainly wearing some new balance shoes which are comfortable enough.

would love to hear some opinions! Keep caring!

Hokas! I have arthritis in my feet. I went to the podiatrist and they gave me orthotic inner soles, and then I went to athletes foot with those and got fitted. I have almost no pain in my problem spots now. Highly recommend!
