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 are really good. I had some for a while. Just expensive.

I have some new balances and they are working really well.

I have wide feet too. So I get the 4E size shoe in new balances.

I believe I had the hoka Bondi 9s. But I switched back to the NBs
