My first day on the job was yesterday afternoon---Everything went very well- My boss even gave me a big hug after the auction ended...
But....my POOR FEET! 
I need advice on what kind of shoes I should wear? Sneakers? Boots? What? Tell me what?
Talk to me ladies!

ditto to what Karin said.
Guess the addage you get what you pay for applies-- especially when it comes to shoes and moreso for folks who have to stand a lot.
I have seen the Sanitas. They are also really nice! |

I recently discovered a brand of shoes from Denmark, Sanita. They are amazingly comfortable, cloglike with rubber soles. I have high arches and heel spurs and have broken my toes many times (the luck of the barefoot) and these shoes feel like they were made for me. They are expensive, but they are very, very comfortable and my feet never hurt anymore when I've been stomping around for hours. Bjorn also makes very comfortable and good looking shoes....

You can get Birkenstocks with a soft footbed. They cost a bit more but sooo worth the extra cost. Take something that is already ultra comfey and add the cush.
Those are my sensible shoes (sandals).
Have worn Dansco and Clarks for years too. Again, pricey, but ultra good to your feet.
Bought a pair of Clark's sandals the other day and could have worn them out of the store right there. Brand new, and no break-in time needed at all!
Zappo's has fair prices so for these high end shoes, I start here first |

I've tried on the Danskos, and I just loved the way they felt. I didn't buy any at the time, but if you can go try some on to find out what size you need, you can find some of them on Ebay. I've found them for a LOT cheaper on there, though I have yet to buy any. It's definitely in my near future, though!

I wear Dansco shoes also, they last for ever! and have great support. I know they can appear a little pricey, but worth every penny. I buy them localy because they are hand made and beleave it or not each pair fits a little diffrent, but I know you can buy them online a little cheaper. Hope that helps

I like the Sketchers shoes too. I also find that if my feet are feeling really sore at the end of the day you might want to go up half a size because as your feet swell, the shoes start to pinch. It seems obvious now but it took me a long time of buying my own shoes to figure that one out. Also make sure your socks are nice and snug. That helps support your feet and keep the fluid from pooling (swelling).

I am on my feet, literally running about half the time, all day every day and I have to say either Sanita's or Keens are fabulous. Sierra trading Post is a great place to get good deals on all of the brands everybody mentioned too - I love it!

My Mom is a nurse, and she loves the Dansko clogs. They're a little on the pricey side, but they are definitley worth it!
