I just started working at Target. Everyday, after a couple of hours of work, my feet hurt really bad from all the walking. So, I was just curios about what shoes some people might suggest that I purchase to help ease the pain when I work. If possible, please provide me with a link to the shoes you suggest. Thanks.

Rockports or Mephistos. But I don't like running shoes personally - though some say they are really comfortable. Go to a good shoe store or sports store and ask for recommendations as well.

I know that 'Crocs' are good...I even see doctors and nurses in them now. If you can wear flip flops...the 'fit flop' feels just awesome.

If you can wear tennis shoes, definately wear them! Just get a dressier sneaker that's still supportive and comfortible. I suggest Nike, Adidas, or Puma. They're all really good brands.

I am an emergency health care worker. so do lots of work on my feet.. I would highly recommend trying on decent running shoes. I use my adidas running shoes. Pricey.. but AWESOME!

I'd purchase some athletic shoes made for walking, if you are allowed to wear sneaker-like shoes to work. You should be able to find them at any store that sells athletic shoes, and various brands (Nike, New Balance, Adidas, Asics, etc). Try on various brands and see what feels the best and has good cushioning.

Any type of well fitting tennis shoes should cure the pain. Investing in a good pair of Nike's, New Balance, etc. would work. As long as it has good support. . . my favorites are the Nike's here is a link to their website : http://www.nike.com/index.jhtml#l=nikehome&re=US&co=US&la=EN

well you didnt say you were gonna run in them but to walk around u could get the vans classic slip-ons. they come in many colors and designs so you can find ones you like. they have red with checkerboard or plain red since u work at target. they feel like you are not wearing anything at all and really comfortable. also they are quite popular nowadays. you can choose any color you want..i own like 12 pairs and are not very expensive.here they are...they sell them at journeys and online http://shop.vans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product2_10001_25101_10 101_302951_-1
