3. Crocs On-The-Clock Work Slip-On
You can’t go wrong with a great pair of Crocs, and this version made specifically for those who stand for long hours is a favorite of Asim Sayed, D.P.M., A.A.C.F.A.S., a podiatrist based in Kansas City, MO. These shoes have an enclosed and reinforced heel and toe to help protect your feet, while offering arch support for comfort and slip-resistant treads for safety.
“I have experience working with plenty of different shoes in two different restaurants. I know the feeling of pain in your feet whenever you get off a long, 12-hour shift,” one reviewer writes. “These crocs are the best shoes for working in a restaurant. They have a soft, comfortable feeling when easily slipping on without having to hassle with any shoe laces. The outside of the crocs have a hard, water-resistant touch…After a long day of work, I don’t have to worrying about my feet cramping anymore”
4. Naturalizer Marianne Loafers
With three different width options, Naturalizer’s super-comfy shoes are designed for people who need to be on their feet all day. This pair features a contoured, dual-dense footbed that provides plenty of support to the arches and heels. Plus, it has cooling lining to keep your feet dry.
“These shoes are fantastic! I work in a clinic standing all day but wear business casual,” a reviewer explains. “I need to be able to squat and kneel often during the day. I also have relatively flat feet and the shoes are very well-cushioned and supportive. They are also very on-trend at the moment!”
