Foot Pain!!!! Most comfortable type of shoes for waitress?

If I'm on my feet I get really bad heel pain and after about 4 hours, I usually need pain reliever because my feet hurt so bad, in just normal shoes. I am in my early 20's and not obese, I'm pretty healthy. When I look at my feet, they are not flat, they do have a big arch. Of course, when I wear heels the pain is super bad in the balls of my feet. I hate this because if I'm wearing heels I have to cut my night short!





So when I'm at work-- Having tried many kinds, what is the most comfortable pair of shoes for someone like a server or waitress who is on their feet all day on a hard floor? All the shoe inserts I've tried are total crap, even the arch support ones, they're like no difference. Casual shoes are fine, The shoes must be solid black or tan/brown, and reasonably stylish or contemporary. So whats THE most comfortable shoes for both work and high heels?

Birkenstocks! They are amazing and u can buy ones that are shoes, not just mules! I think ull have to sacifice the high heels for the sake of comfort. Sorry love!
Reply:Know there's gotta be a Walmart near by, try their Earth Shoes. I have a bad ankle and have to stand for long periods of time and they help me and don't cost a fortune. They are cushiony and comfortable. Also Dr. Scholl's Memory Foam Inserts are real comfortable, too.
Reply:I recommend Chuck Taylors, always. They're just sooooo comfortable.
Reply:Naturalizer, Easy Spirit, Nine West (sister store of easy spirit but more stylish), Enzo, Sketchers (also check out their dress shoes, feels almost like their casual shoes), Ecco, Keds (they have cute and comfy skimmers this year), . I use to be on my feet for 12-14 hour a day and these brands always work. Heels didn't work unless they were no more than 2 inches otherwise the balls of my feet felt like they were on fire, lol. Gel inserts work for a while but not the whole day. The first 4 I recommend for dressier type shoes. But all for casual types shoes. Zappos.com is great. They pay for shipping back and forth or I always buy them at nordstroms or some place where returns are flexible if they don't work. Good luck!
