I am on my feet 8 hours a day and walking most of that time. I am overweight and have bad knees and hips. I have had a lot of problems finding something that didn't break down within a month or start paining me somewhere. After trial and error I have started wearing Keen shoes. The company started making water sandels and branched into many other styles. I wear the Bronx style which is an urban hiker. They are ugly as all get out, so if you are looking for fashion, fuggitaboutit. But after six months of wearing these shoes for work I am still very happy with them.
