Original answer

Do you mean recommendations for comfortable work shoes? I’ll give short, practical picks by work type (office, long shifts/standing, tradie/safety boots, kitchen/hospitality) plus quick buying tips—each pick uses models commonly available in Australia.

Top picks by work type

  • Office / casual professional

    • Clarks or ECCO leather shoes (dress-casual with good cushioning and arch support). These brands focus on leather, fit and cushioning good for office wear. (ausworkwear.com.au)
  • Long shifts / healthcare, retail, warehouse (lots of walking/standing)

    • Cushioned running-style trainers: Hoka (Rincon/Arahi), Brooks (Glycerin), Nike Structure, New Balance or Skechers work/athletic lines. These give high foam cushioning and shock absorption that many nurses and retail workers prefer for 10–12hr shifts. Affordable Skechers slip-on knit trainers have strong user praise for long shifts. (health.com)
  • Tradies / construction (safety toe, all-day comfort)

    • Blundstone Rotoflex series, Hard Yakka 3056, King Gee / Mongrel / Steel Blue — these models combine certified toe protection, shock‑absorbing midsoles and memory-foam or supportive footbeds for less fatigue. Blundstone Rotoflex and Hard Yakka 3056 are frequently recommended in Australian reviews for comfort on-site. (ausworkwear.com.au)
  • Safety boots (steel/composite toe but comfortable)

    • FXD WB-2, Hard Yakka 3056, King Gee Bennu, Bison XT — many safety boots now use memory-foam footbeds, EVA/Phylon midsoles and zip+laced designs to improve fit and reduce fatigue. For heavy work get AS/NZS certified safety boots with good midsole cushioning. (workarmour.com.au)
  • Kitchen / hospitality (slip‑resistant + comfort)

    • Lightweight slip-resistant trainers from Skechers or work-specific lines with rubber slip‑resistant outsoles and cushioned insoles; look for machine-washable uppers where hygiene matters. Skechers models have wide popularity among shift workers. (people.com)

Quick buying checklist (what really matters)

  • Know your work demands: safety toe? slip resistance? water resistance? breathability for hot sites? (choose trade/safety vs trainer accordingly).
  • Proper fit: have half‑to‑one thumb’s width at the toe, try late in the day when feet are bigger.
  • Arch support & cushioning: choose shoes with supportive midsoles (EVA, Phylon, or high‑rebound foam) and removable insoles (so you can fit custom orthotics).
  • Break‑in: leather safety boots often need a short break‑in; cushioned trainers often feel comfortable from day one.
  • Certification: for tradie/industrial work, confirm AS/NZS or relevant safety standard on the boot’s spec. (shopica.com.au)

If you want, I can:

  • Narrow recommendations to your exact job (e.g., nurse, chef, builder, office) and foot shape (wide, flat arch), or
  • Find current Australian retailers and prices for 3–5 specific models and sizes near you.
