Hoka Gaviota or Arahi
Red bottoms
Sketcher memory foam slides
Get yourself a good orthotic man, you are a podiatrist.
I use my orthotics with pretty much any shoe and it feels great. Vans, New Balance, Chucks etc
For function I stick with Asics Gel Kayano.

I like them. Wide forefoot with square toe. Doesn’t taper like ASICS or Brooks. Forefoot not as stiff as Hoka/keens so not as great for limitus pain.

Brooks Beast is pretty much the gold standard for pronation or bigger runners, but you prob don't have to go that high on the bell curve.
Brooks GTS Adrenaline or Glycerine should be fine too unless you're really big or low arch.
Hoka are fine, but you can get better shoes for less money... I think half of their appeal is just that they make the person a bit taller with the big styrofoam block (at tradeoff of more sprained ankles, just like now defunct Sketchers ShapeUp). Short ppl sure love them, lol. They are fine enough, but you basically spend $200 for what Asics gives you for half that price and with better eva midsole and overall materials. For the Hoka price range, Brooks are much superior shoes (and still a bit cheaper). Hoka would be questionable as $100 shoes... very questionable as $160-$200 shoes, but that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.
It's basically dealer's choice between the good models from better brands for running shoes... Asics, Brooks, Saucony, NB, Altra, most Mizuno. At the end of the day, they'll all have some support and be compatible with insoles or orthotics. All brands have good and not-so-good models. Read on their website and pick what you like... for pronation, you want "motion control" and "stability" type models... sometimes "anti-pronation." NB have slipped a bit in terms of materials, but they have better style/colors now... and they are among the cheapest of the good brands and available in wide widths.
...For shoes that actually look good (date/evening/meetings), that depends what you want and your personal style.
Allen Edmonds are nice and very well made... but pretty spendy. They will last a lifetime if reasonably cared for, and they can be re-soled. Stacy Adams look great but fall apart. I usually just wear Js or Puma or AF1s or Stacy Adams or whatever... not good for wearing all day, but look light years better then running shoes at a party or bar. Watch the Air movie if you haven't already... shoes are a fashion and culture thing as much as funcational. Just sayin.

You can also get 40% off Asics with no limit per year. I think the only stipulation is you can use it 2 times per month
Podiometric maths in the making
2 orders per month x 12 months per year = 24 orders
You'd be essentially losing money to not buy two pairs a month.
2 orders per month x 12 months per year = 24 orders
The most podiatry question ever. Bravo.
How do you do that? ... on their website, they just have 30% off with one-time codes for HCWs.

So if you go here, there is a link to prove you’re a medical professional. They just have dropped the percentage from 40% down to 30%. Each time you want to buy something, you just go to this link, prove your identity and they will send you the discount code that you copy and paste into the “promo code” box in your cart.
The code itself is one time use, however, you can buy up to 5 full priced items per order, and you can get 2 codes per month to use.

You have to choose ‘other health worker’ because ASICS does not consider DPMs to be doctors, only MD/DO.
