The most comfortable shoe i have ever owned is the Air Jordan Retro 2 Low Top. The width is slightly wider than most other Nike shoes and you're basically walking around on air all day. Every year they come out with a new color combination so they are easy to find. I have also been buying late 80's early 90's retro shoes from other manufacturers. Diadora/British Knights/Lotto/Fila/Puma/Troop. You can usually find these on amazon for $20-50 a pair. They are all what i would call "skate shoes". Obviously nowhere near the comfort level of the Jordans but they fit well and are usually light weight. Some of the shoes that were popular when i was growing up...

I've been wearing Keen sneakers every day to work the last 5 years. Great cushioning. Bought a second pair to replace the first a couple years ago.
Designed as hiking shoes. Very comfortable.

Designed as hiking shoes. Very comfortable. I tried on Keens first and liked them. But they do fit more like a boot than a shoe (which makes sense since keen makes boots). But after I tried the Danners, the keens didn’t feel right. Apparently keens run a bit narrow and may require different sizes than normal.

I usually wear more of a dress shoe at work, but when I am teching or climbing a mountain I wear these: [Link: salomon.com]Super comfortable and the quick lace is very convenient to getting your shoes on and off. Ironically my cousin from Scotland wears the same shoe. I was about to suggest the same. Great shoe! Note that they make two versions - one is waterproof, and the other is Goretex. Some people claim the waterproof version doesn’t allow your foot to breathe but it’s my go to mountain running shoe. Here’s a link to the waterproof version: [Link: salomon.com]

Have you been to a chiropractor, Fins? You could have a mis-alignment or something goofy. The chiro I use did a foot scan and got me custom orthotics a couple years ago. They help immensely! Sometimes it's not the shoes, but how we are walking around in them.

I had a couple pairs of Merrells. They were another sale deal. Buy One Get One Half Off. They were comfortable. But they didn’t hold up. Merrells Moab non waterproof here. I have to replace two to three times a year due to wear but keeps my feet cool and feeling right. My experience has been if I wear the same shoes all week my feet tend to hurt more than if I switch it up and wear something different a couple times throughout the week

Couple of my latest.
Adidas Pharrell NMD Hu Clear Sky Nike Kyrie 4 Lucky Charms Nike Air Max 1 Parra Lebron 15 Ashes
Have a bid in on some Lebron 15 Orange Boxes
I’m a bit of a sneaker head!!
My favorite shoes to work in are my Adidas Harden Vol 1 they are wildly comfortable and have a completely smooth tread, no places for gravel to hide. That is the number 1 consideration. We have a lot of homes with pea gravel and crushed stone driveways. Any substantial tread allows pieces to stick and tear a floor up!!! I keep house only shoes in the truck that are always clean and never worn on anything other than floors. These are Olu Kai.

Any substantial tread allows pieces to stick and tear a floor up!!! This was one of the biggest issues I had with the last couple pairs I had. One was Nike’s, and the other was a pair of Skechers (We ended up in an outlet while on a trip because one of the kids needed shoes, and I got caught up in the sales). The Skechers would pick up even regular gravel size rocks. I would be walking and almost roll an ankle because of a rock stuck in the bottom.
