I have bought a pair of Dansko's the are orthopedic shoes. Surgeons nurses waitress etc.. wear them cause they stand for long perioRAB of time and are always on their feet. the best pair of shoes i ever had!! Take alot of pressure off the the back cause of the special arch in them. Pricy but well worth it!!! Try going to a special or privatey own shoe store and they will give you more information I got mine from Chiapeeta Shoes= store in Kenosha Wi. Hope this helps!!!!!!!
