Help everyone! I'm a guy who's on his feet all day long at conventions. So that means concrete floors. I also walk to and from hotels which can be up to a mile.

I have sciatic issues in my right leg from back surgeries in my past. I've got foot pain from planar issues. I'm a heavy set guy, who's out of shape.

I've looked at shoes that chefs uses. Ones that nurses use. Shoe's for people who walk and are on their feet constantly. No one seems to be able to agree on anything. Which I understand there is personal preference. I get that. But there HAS to be some science to things, doesn't there?

Also, I need them to look decent, and not like plain black clogs that chefs seem to use a lot.

Right now, my best idea is a pair of Mise Relaxed shoes. They seem to hit 80% of my needs – other than the fact they look pretty awful.

Any advice? Anything I should look at that are recommended? My feet are killing me by the end of the day, and I don't look forward to nights like I should to socialize. I just can't take the standing and walking anymore.

I purchased SAYE sneakers, and they are my exact size and only feel slightlyyyyy big. I usually wear super thin socks as to not get sweaty. I have to wear 2 pairs of socks (one thin, one thick) for them to feel like they fit well from the back & don't rub my heel, but then they feel too tight in the front. What do I do? They are not wide fit.

I really don't want to exchange them because it costs money to return and then it's possible the next size down will be too small. There's no way to check as they're all online. I love the look of the shoes though, so I'm conflicted. Ideas?
