As someone with wide, flat feet and bunions, I’ve learned that owning a pair of comfortable shoes is non-negotiable.
There’s an overwhelming amount of walking shoes and sneakers that all claim to be supportive, which is why we turned to the unofficial experts of being on their feet all day: hospital workers. Nurses spend hours working with patients, which requires little time to sit down, making them a resource for finding supportive, comfy sneakers. All of the nurse-approved options we found are on sale at Amazon’s fashion store, including a pair of Adidas sneakers that are on rare sale for $39.
Nurse-Approved Comfortable Shoes
Adidas X Plr Path Running Shoes
It’s not often Adidas shoes drop below $50, which is why we couldn’t avoid adding these sneakers to our list. They come with a thick sole that absorbs impact, whether you’re walking on cement or grass, and have a lightweight mesh upper that’s breathable to keep your feet from sweating.
What Shoppers Say
“I work in a hospital, and I’m on my feet a lot … I have a little bit of a wider foot, and they fit [nicely], and my feet have never hurt in them.” — Amazon reviewer
Aleader Slip-On Walking Shoes
Whether you’re rushing to an appointment or are just taking a morning walk, you can easily slide into these sneakers. Instead of a lace-up design, the shoes have a hands-free slip-in opening that won’t require you to bend down. The sock liner is also moisture-wicking and odor-reducing to keep them fresh.
What Shoppers Say
“I’ve been a nurse for 10 years and have tried to find a comfortable shoe. I’ve spent up to $250 on a pair and still suffered from foot pain. I bought these to wear on a trip, basically for the airport, [and] I fell in love. Now, I have a pair for work, and even after 12 hours, my feet don’t hurt.” — Amazon reviewer
Nortiv 8 Walking Shoes
These sneakers were made with comfort in mind. They have a platform foam sole that helps reduce the strain on your knees and are so supportive that the American Podiatric Medical Association has given the sneakers its stamp of approval.
What Shoppers Say
“As a nurse, I am on my feet for 12 hours, and these do not disappoint. They are cushioned with great arch support.” — Amazon reviewer
