Good walking shoes?

Need some recommendations.

I am doing 6 hour product demos on concrete and my feet are killing me.

Are you looking for dress/casual walking shoes, or tennis shoe style?

Needs to be dark in color and not 'flashy' (I am in dress slacks), but comfort comes first as I am standing on the concrete for 6 hours with little chance to actually sit.

I just went shoe shopping last week at Macy's. Nike tends to fit me the best, so I started out with them. Sales guy had me try on Eccos -- said most of their customers think they are the best feeling shoe they have ever tried. He was right -- I ended up buying three pair. They make everything from athletic to dress:

My girlfriend is a podiatrist. She recommneds Asics and Brooks for walking/running. They don't tend to be very stylish, but you may be able to find some in all black that would work if you are wearing slacks.

Red Wing Shoes are great. They make a ton of styles, and they are meant for long periods of use. At the stores, they'll fit you and help you find the perfect shoe for what you need. Link to Riverside stores

Some guys swear by the puma mostros...

A guy I knew was a distributor for zcoils... I met a guy who swears by them saying that his back doctor prescribed them to him...

Also, since it's here in HI you probably have it on the mainland... you might want to try getting custom made insoles/inserts (?not sure of the proper lingo)... iirc the company is called the ... ahh I can't remember I'll get back to you when I find the name.

Most comfortable (non athletic) shoes I've owned have been 2 pairs of Sandro Moscoloni shoes. They are well worth the price.

I have the Asics Onitsuka Tiger in cream color.

They look great, feel great, and I get tons of compliments. People are always asking where I got my shoes...

Best of all, it feels like I'm walking barefoot.
