When you want sneakers that will cushion and protect your feet through a full shift on your feet, it can be a struggle to find supportive all-day footwear that also looks great. But comfort doesn't have to be at the expense of style. Here are five of our recommended best sneakers for standing all day without sacrificing style.
Check out the best sneakers for spending all day on your feet and walking with comfort and style. Key criteria considered include cushioning for impact protection, arch support, breathability and aesthetic versatility.
Best For: Nurses, healthcare workers or anyone needing maximum cushioning
The Hoka Bondi line is a road-running shoe with a devoted audience. Slip into a pair of Hoka Bondi shoes and you'll quickly understand why. Chunky soles telegraph the brand's signature appeal: about as much cushioning as it's possible to pack into a daily running shoe. If you're on your feet all day, this sneaker offers a famously comfy ride that is particularly kind to sore feet in need of a rest.
Best For: Retail workers, teachers (8+ hours on hard floors)
The Brooks Ghost series seems to have been created to win prizes and feature in lists like this. The Brooks Ghost 15 was a Runner's World 2023 Shoe of the Year and carries an American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance. It's also a good-looking sneaker. The Ghost got upgraded with a softer, lighter midsole. The upper is an engineered air mesh for comfort and breathability without compromising structure. The result is a durable running shoe that also happens to be among the best sneakers for walking and standing all day.
Best For: On-the-go parents, retro-inspired sneakerheads
The New Balance 1000 series is a classic everyday sneaker. The 2000s-era styling leads some reviewers to pigeonhole the NB 1000 e as a "chunky Dad shoe," but a colorway like the "Black/Metallic Silver" gives it a sleek retro vibe. The sneaker gets high praise for stability, breathability, and all-day comfort. Throw in that old-school Dad shoe look, and you get one of the best men's sneakers for standing all day and general daily activity.
Best For: Walking meetings/city commuting (style-focused professionals)
The Cloudtilt from On has snagged Zendaya's endorsement, giving it impeccable style credentials. But don't let a clean look and eye-catching colorways distract from some serious comfort engineering. The Cloudtilt puts you atop a 35.5 mm heel stack and 26.8 mm forefoot stack for excellent cushioning and impact protection. This is an exceptional all-day walking shoe with a style that'll make you stand out from the crowd.
On Cloudtilts are only available from Hibbett in store. Check your local Hibbett store for availability.
Best For: Plantar fasciitis sufferers
For those dealing with flat feet, plantar fasciitis or overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the foot as you walk), the Asics GEL-NYC is highly regarded for its stability and support. It's also a stylish shoe, with an attractive selection of colorways including the pastel "Cream/Rose". Thanks to its aesthetic versatility and support, this is one of the best women's sneakers for standing all day.
And honorable mention to the Nike P-6000s, another comfy yet stylish sneaker option for plantar fasciitis sufferers.
Ultimately, the best shoes are the ones that fit your feet. Consider whether a particular brand fits true to size or if you're better off sizing up or down to get the fit you need. And stop by your local Hibbett store to try on a pair or two.
Shop our selection of the most comfortable shoes for standing all day online at Hibbett.com or via the Hibbett mobile app. Check on the availability of sneakers that aren't available online (like the On Cloudtilt) with your nearest Hibbett store and stop by whenever you please to see what's on the shelves.
