Howdy all,

I can't seem to find any dress shoes to wear to work that don't eventually begin causing some discomfort in my knees and/or feet. I work in a cubicle. Pretty standard office environment.

Especially for you heavy runners, what kinds of shoes to you wear in the office? Do you get minor aches and pains? Is there a certain type of show you buy, or will any shoes with some good insoles do the trick?

Thanks in advance. Sure wish I could wear tennis shoes every day..

Try Ecco. My dress shoes are Ecco with Superfeet black insoles. For casual shoes I wear Ecco that have nice arch support and do not need the Superfeet.

SAS?

I like Rockports.

I also recommend Ecco. I'm wearing a pair now that are very comfortable. That said, I have two pair of Luccheses and one pair of Allen Edmons that are at least as comfortable. I wear all at work.

IMO, You get what you pay for when it comes to dress shoes.

Get inserts to help out

Ecco is the only company I've found that makes a dress shoe that is flexible and comfortable while still looking sleek like an actual dress shoe. Can't stand a chunky sole. Johnston Murphy gets close, but you'll pay good money for either.

last time I looked the only decent looking eccos were $250. Now they appear to have a lower line that isn't too chunky for $170.

when I first started working in an office I wore a hole in two sets of cheap(bostonian) rubber soled shoes in just under 2 years. buy nice or buy twice they say, so now all my shoes are stitched leather soles from Johnston Murphy. They can all be re-soled if needed, but they've held up well for a while now.

They don't feel like tennis shoes, but I don't find them uncomfortable at all. I even have an adjustable desk so I stand for a couple hours each day. a decent factory insole, and a little more heel drop make a big difference.

Wear some Johnston and Murphys XC4s that are very comfortable.

Thanks for the replies! I'll look into it

I buy Facotry 2nds from Allen Edmonds. I've never noticed whatever blemishes move them to 2nd's. www.shoebank.com

Some nice AE's on there for under $200, made in the USA and they'll last forever

I'm a ~200 lb runner and I've worn Sperry's to work for about the last 4 years. No complaints.

Ecco's. Pull out the inserts and put in super feet or soles
