Going to be on my feet for hours at a time and looking for some decent quality leather shoes that wont give me blisters etc, any recommendations on brands would be helpful. Would prefer to try them on in a store (Have most major shoe retailers near by)
Looking at spending around $100, if I need to go up to 150-200$ range for a pair that would be top quality I won't complain
Male
Hush puppies. Get the soft flight and light ones.
I personally like Keen brand. My feet are wide but that brand is comfortable for me.
I am a big fan of Hush Puppies. I wear them every day for work.
Direct Shoe Warehouse stocks Hush Puppies and Julius Marlow shoes.
I still prefer the latter, but lots of people buy Hush Puppies and swear by them.
Doc Martens. Cost a bit more but last forever.
Heaps better than Hush Puppies, which I have also had before.
You can buy online from the UK for much cheaper than local
Have a look at Rockport shoes. They're more expensive than hush puppies but I find them to be more comfortable. And for some reason some hush puppies soles squeak when i walk on certain surfaces whereas i've not encountered this with rockports.
Ecco are fantastic. They cost a bit more but they are quality and they last.
What type of shoes?
For something that will last forever… I'd go for a pair of RM Williams. Best shoes. The end.
I would buy locally so you can try shoes on. Unless the site has free shipping for returns.
My Hush Puppies work shoes are actually more comfortable than my casual sneakers - that's saying something!
Go for the "Target" black boots for $50 the RM Williams styled ones (high top boot slip on with the back tongue). Great quality, so comfy, look great and only $50. You wont be dissappointed.
Hush puppies. Don't have a long life span like RM Williams though. Doc Martens have some comfortable models too. You didn't say if you are male or female either.
