Arch Support

[Perfect Hair Day]

Looking for great arch support in a sneaker or a shoe that is NOT a Dansko (repulsive).

Anyone have any recommendations? Nike Shox look like they might be good for long/busy days in the ED...

Going to a reputable shoe store will serve you way better than this forum. I mean, this isn't medical advice so we allow, but without knowing your foot shape, your heelstrike, etc, all it will be is a bunch of guesses.
Besides, cowboy boots are where it's at.

You are such a redneck. 😉

My shoe of choice for the ED has been rockports - not much in the way of arch support but I'll be damned if i find something more comfortable

Merrill mocs here. This has been discussed at length with tons of opinions...
I can't stand Danskos. Tried 'em, tried to like them, gave up and donated them to Goodwill after a several month trial.

Saucony is my go-to running shoe, but mine will never grace the pit of the ED.

I inherited poor arches from mi padre. I had custom orthotics made (at the time they were free with insurance). They worked great. Later when they were going to cost $300 I went and found a comparable super feet insert and they work just as well. I now have them in just about every shoe I own.

I'm on my second pair of Dansko's in 6 years and absolutely love them. It definitely took getting used to but my plantar fasciitis completely resolved

I wear Salomon XA Pros in the ED. They are trail running shoes I believe. Comfy as hell.

A lot of people I've talked to have recommended buying whichever sneaker looks cool as heck, and buying a pair of super feet inserts.

Tangentially related note:

I bought two CopperFit sleeves for my knees, and now I want a pair for every shift. Game changers.

Are those for bad knees?
