When it comes to finding a good pair of comfortable walking shoes, who better to turn to than someone who’s on your feet all day? Nurses, teachers and warehouse workers all agree that the Brooks Ghost 14 sneakers are the best option for spending an entire day on your feet and walking around.


Designed as running shoes, the sneakers feature ample cushioning for comfort, rubber soles that provide excellent traction, and a soft fabric lining that won’t cause blisters. In fact, they’re so supportive of your feet that the American Podiatric Medical Association has awarded them a Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health.




The lace-up design lets you find a custom, comfortable fit, while the mesh upper makes the running shoes super breathable, meaning your feet won’t overheat even on hot summer days. Plus, shoppers say the sneakers are super lightweight, so they won’t weigh you down (or take up a lot of room if you put them in your suitcase).

A warehouse worker who is on his feet 10-12 hours a day said, “I was able to wear them all day right out of the box. I used to have pain in my knees and hips but that’s a thing of the past since switching to Brooks.” Another shopper wrote, “I wear them all day as a teacher who stands all day. [I] can’t wear anything else. Nothing else comes close.”

Several nurses agreed and said these are the only shoes they can wear for long shifts.
