comfortable dress shoes (for men)?

[droolbug2]

My husband is a manager for CVS and he is on his feet for 12-15 hours a day/ 6 days a week. He is required to wear dress work clothes. (dress pants, dress shirt and tie) We are looking for a pair of comfortable dress shoes. We bought him a pair of Dockers shoes and he liked the style but the heel wore out in about 3 months. Any suggestions? TIA

My DH has a pair of Clarks that he says is comfortable (but he is not on his feet that much) my dad has a pair of Rockports that he really likes as well.

Keen.

 

Hubby has these, is on his feet a lot and he loves his Keens...he now has like 5 pairs!

I always check out zappos...great deals, free shipping, free returns and quick too! Just like having a shoe store in your house.

I have Keens walking sandals that I bought 3 Summers ago and I wear almost every day when it's shorts weather. They've held up well.

 

Back when I sold cars and did trade shows I used to wear shoes with Dr. Martens soles built in (these are part of the shoe, not an insole like Dr. Scholl's). They hold up well and have air pockets built into the soles, but they tend to be on the heavy side.

My hubby is a band director on his feet all day (and most of the evenings this time of year, too). He could use somthing good for his feet to, but not heavy because he does a ton of marching with the kids on the field. Hope this thread pays off.

Besides Keens, my hubby has tried Eccos (on the expensive side), Rockports (wasn't happy with the way they held up) Doc Martens (had to get new ones every 6 mos or his feet hurt) Michelins (comfy but more of an industrial look) and Merrills (he didn't like them for longer days).

 

For his long days and his feet, the Keens have held up the best. The reason he has so many pairs is that they have held up and do not hurt his feet after a few mos.

 

I think of all he has tried, he was most disappointed in Eccos because they were a bit over 200 and he still had issues after 6 mos. The shoe store we bought them from said they would give him a new pair if he wasn't happy for an entire year so he did go back and got a new pair. Same thing tho...after 6 mos, they weren't as comfy.
