Best shoe for a standing cashier? input appreciated!?

I'll be starting a job in a few days where my duties are primarily cashier and stocking shelves. What is the best type of shoe for this? I'm assuming a walking shoe, or simply a casual sneaker? It's required they be leather or "leather-like" material, not canvas.





I don't have much of an arch in my foot, I do occasionally have problems with bursitis in my hip after hours of standing, and lower back pain (if any of those things influence your opinion!).





Do you have a specific brand you prefer? Why?





I will be so grateful for some HELPFUL, descriptive input!!!

Anything with a really spongy sole and an arch support will help, but you should see if the store provides cushioned mats for the cashiers to stand on - they really reduce foot and leg fatigue.





Another thing to consider is getting a small sturdy box to keep at your register so you can put one foot up on it and switch off periodically. That also helps prevent fatigue.

Reply:I swear by a brand called Born (the "o" is one of those that has a line through it). They can be a little expensive, but I've always been able to get them for decent prices at places like Marshall's and TJ Maxx. The instant you put them on, they feel like heaven. They're also really durable, and most of their shoes are leather. I wear mine all day, all of the time and my feet never hurt.
Reply:CROCS....the absolut best shoes for being on your feet all day they run anywhere fron 20- 30$ and worth every penny
Reply:if you can wear athletic-type shoes....try on some


New Balance shoes....I've had nothing but great


feel in them, and I am on my feet 10 hrs. a day...at work.
Reply:find yourself a pair of sport shoes which fits your feets well with arch support then there should not be any problem
Reply:their caled sas in most stores check on a link they are pricey but worth it .
Reply:I prefer "Red Wing" shoes, in the walking shoe type. They are the preferred type of shoe for postal mail carriers so that should say something for thier comfort.
Reply:You really get what you pay for. Do you have a store called "Big 5?" Any large store with Air Jordans also sell what you're looking for.


Good luck with the shoes and the new job!! :)
