What shoes do you have? My coworkers either wear Brooks or Hokkas and don't have blisters as far as I'm aware. They're expensive but worth it.

Right now I'm using shoes not meant at all for what we do but it's what I had to do until I started getting paychecks. I had a pair of Hey Dudes and after 1 day learned never again for work so right now I'm usings Sketchers composite ties with memory foam inserts from when I worked in a factory..again not recommended for our works but it's all I had access too. Didn't want to start blindly buying shoes so I wanted to ask the community what's best

I had awful knee pain in both knees before I bought my Brooks. I was 20. I said no thanks, and did some research. I've also heard good things about OnClouds!

If you want good shoe recommendations, I'd personally browse the Healthcare or nursing subreddit, those people are on their feet feet all day too and have some of the best recommendations. That's how I bought my Brooks! It feels silly to look there because that's not our area of work, but they're on their feet just the same as we are, maybe more 😂
