    Iv been looking for a comfortable pair of work shoes with a while i bought a pair of clarks but they are unbearable to wear. Ill be wearing them for upto 16 hours some days and they must look well with a suit. Any suggestions would be appriecated.

    You could try Ecco, Camper or Geox.

    Be careful of Ecco if you have narrow feet - I bought a very expensive pair of loafers to go with suits, and was half crippled in them. Had to give them away to a charity shop after about three wears :mad:

    ETA - that applies to women's shoes! No idea if you're a man or a woman, or what Ecco men's shoes are like.

    I have to wear formal shoes for similar times and after spending years trying clarks and designer makes, I bought a pair of Ecco's over a year ago and they are the best by a country mile. I would find, the odd time I use a fashion pair, that my legs would get tired and my knees would get sore. However, putting on the Ecco's are like slippers. They have improved their styles as well so they are less aimed at an older generation.

    I could not recommend them enough.

    I've always found hushpuppies really comfortable, I used to wear a pair of their heels as work shoes and have a pair of their sandles I use as walking shoes on holiday. Can't speak from a man's point of view though.

    Rieker shoes are always very comfortable!! I'm not so sure if they would be suitable for work or if they have nice styles, but they are worth a look.
