I had a couple jobs similar to yours. honestly i prefer cross trainers like new balance for a lot of walking they are light weight and minimize leg and body fatigue. if you are in an environment where your toes are in danger. there are steel toe sneakers that offer support. i know Timberland makes a good one i used them when i worked in a furniture show room area. and they came in handy many of occasions

If you are walking that much and do not have to bend the foot to kneel down you should look in to MBT's. They have them at Zappos and you can read the reviews. I bought them and they do everything they say. To find a shoe store you can got to http://www.swissmasai.com/CountrySelection.aspx?lang=en-GBor check http://www.walkerswarehouse.com/mbt-shoes-video/mbt-shoes.aspwhich is WalkersWarehouse. They have some models on sale. IF you wear them in the house you can return to Zappos for free- no shipping. MBT =Masai Barefoot technologyThey are really comfortable once you get used to them. It is hard to go back to other shoes. Wear them only 15 minutes to start and then build up to longer and longer times. Your legs and rear will be in incredible shape. You will have amazing posture and no bachaches. I use mine for everyday use as I am recovering from a long illness. I still notice the benefits and hope I can start a walking routine. The black sport model is great.I read at least 100 reviews and all were positive. 2mentioned blisters but that was with initially long walks. Hope this helps
