What shoe do you wear on a daily basis?

I've been having some foot and ankle pain lately and am thinking about buying some better shoes. Does anyone have a shoe they would recommend?
 

Make an appointment at a local store that specializes in athletic shoes, orthotics, etc… and spend an hour seeing what is available.

I’m usually bare foot at home and wear a Merrell walking shoe when I’m out and about.

They can be a bit spendy but they always have coupons and clearance deals.

What is great for me may be awful for you.

Hokas were terrible, as were sketchers.
I LOVE Brooks.

I know people who swear by Sketchers but, I gave away the pair I bought, didn't like them at all. I have a pair of Merrells and they really comfy.
When my Merrells need replacing, I will buy another pair but, I will never buy another pair of Sketchers. (y)
 
Sketchers, fixed my Plantar faciitis, which I got from standing on concrete studio floors for up to 12 hours a day... the pain was horrendous.. nothing else worked..nothing !

I tried skechers basically as a last resort.. and it was like I was walking on a cloud.. just magic.. it prevented me from having to take sick time..

People who denounce skechers , usually don't realise that there are many different types..

I would always particularly recommend skechers Go-Ga Mat style.. they are cushioned inside, extremely lightweight and like walking on air.. ..they come in slip on style and lace up... ...however I have about 7 different styles... and like them all...

Maseur sandals are my daily wear, I also wear Hoka shoes for relief from Morton's neuroma. I mostly wear Johnny Reb bike boots for riding and when I ride to work.
 
Around the house, I wear cheap sandals and buy no particular brand. About 2 years ago, one foot started really hurting and I noticed the soles of those sandals had worn down quite a bit. I bought some new sandals which were a different brand, but similar, and within 2 days my foot no longer hurt.

I agree with Merrells being a good walking shoe. I wear Skechers around the house and on easy walks. I wear Merrells more for hiking than anything else. They are more sturdy than the Skechers . My ankles twist in the Skechers but don’t in the Merrells.
 
I wear Skechers and Merrells also. It depends on what I am doing, Skechers indoors, shopping etc.. things done on even surfaces and Merrells if I plan to be outside working or anywhere walking on uneven ground. Most of the time just hanging in the house I have on flip flops or fuzzy no skid socks.

I buy Hokas for work. What do you not like about them?
