Shoes Help

I found these ten years ago. The most comfortable shoes I have ever had . I wear these every day , and they are perfect on my trips tp Europe - https://www.merrell.com/US/en/moab-2-gore--tex-wide-width/27940M.html?dwvar_27940M_color=J06039W#cgid=mens-moab&prefn1=pronation&prefv1=LIGHT%20HIKE&prefn2=refinementColor&prefv2=grey&prefn3=technologyCollection&prefv3=WATERPROOF&start=1

I looked at your title and I thought "They sure do!" ;-)

There's a whole shoe category for this forum here. You might get some useful info and you might want to repeat your post there too.

I wear Rockport World Tours on trips and in general, with orthotics fitted by a podiatrist. I don't know if they're the best, but they stand up well and look OK. I give them a couple of coats of waterproofing spray every year or so. But I'm sure there are better shoes out there. This is very much an individual choice. And of course it's important to break them in well before any serious travel with them.

Look at the brands Vionic and Aetrex, both high quality comfort support shoes. They are they only ones I take.

The problem is what is great for me maybe poor for you. I swear by the ECCO line - not cheap but quality is high. Particularly like the City Walker. They are waterproof -- big plus and have interchangeable soles. Probably own six pairs now and wear but here and in Europe. Actually only shoe I wear.

See my comment on Comment on Dunham Windsors.

Oboz is a brand that has worked for me. It is a fully supportive pair of shoes that requires little or no break in period. Waterproof is available. It handles many types of conditions - rain, snow, mud, heat, cold, hiking, walking, etc. Durability has been exceptional.

Best Walking Shoes for Travel

For me, it's the Nike Pegasus Trail Running shoe. They run $130 for the basic model or $160 for the Goretex waterproof model. If you have a Nike outlet near you, they often have some on the clearance wall. I find them super comfortable, and they have a nice tread that easily handles slick sidewalks and cobblestones all they way to Alpine hiking trails. They come in bold colors or basic black if you like.

I've got several pairs of Asics Venture 3 running shoes that are very light weight and great for city walking in warmer weather (sadly discontinued, glad I bought several when they were still available) ... also have the Merrell Moab2 (vents and waterproof) for hiking and city when the weather is cooler and/or wetter.

Jeffrey: Answering for my husband because he doesn't "do" the forum. His PT suggested wearing "trail running" shoes, when he was having joint issues. He has taken Salomon trail runners on several overseas trips; great for trails/uneven surfaces as well as every day wear, if you are not picky about looks.
A "new to him" brand is Topo. He bought a pair at REI; later found out that our son also finds them very comfortable.
He wears loafer shoes for flights for "easy on/off at airports". Two brands he has are Merrills and Rockport. On some of his shoes, he does replace the insoles with Superfeet, which we buy from REI when they go on sale.

I’m very alone I suspect but Crocs were life changers for me. They provide support to my flat feet like no other shoe ever. I’m no fashion maven luckily, but I don’t spend much time looking at my feet or others’. Safe and comfortable travels.

My husband liked Ecco shoes for a trip to Italy ,many years ago.
All was well and his feet were very comfy, until we got very wet feet in a sudden downpour one day.
When he took off his Eccos, his feet were neon blue!
It wasn't the socks, but something in the shoe.
They were relegated to use in his workshop after that.
