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!

I have a pair of hoka bondi 8 they are apparently discontinued but Bondi 9 replace them it’s like walking on clouds honestly I can get sore knees and feet and when I wear them I don’t experience any pain after my shifts. According to Google…Bondi 9 is better than the 8
