I work In a factory and they require us to wear to wear all leather upper shoes. I currently wear a black pair of leather tavas but they have seemed to wear out super quick (7 months). I need some advice on what kind of shoe I should buy next. I could buy some insoles to try out in my tavas but idk if that's gonna help plus having more than one shoe to alternate days with. I tried some air max 90s at one point but they were to narrow and when I bought them big to compensate it didn't work out to well. I was thinking about trying to find a pair of air max 95s on sale at an outlet maybe but I'd like to hear some recommendations

Well I'm def not gonna buy a 170 dollar pair of Jordan 12 lows to wear in a factory, but if I went another route other than Nike what other shoes would you recommend

I hope I can help you out as I found these few particular options great for myself although I work at an office. This is if you're looking for Nike only in particular.

The Roshe Two Leather Premium (http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/roshe-two-leather-premium-mens-shoe/pid-11246891/pgid-11867785) comes in four great color choices. Seeing it, feeling it in person, and as an owner of the Roshe Two Flyknit version, it features a very nice memory foam insole as part of the triple-density foam cushioning system for the "all day, everyday" comfort you may be looking for. At $130, it may be a bit hefty, but the shoe's buttery-smooth and baby-soft leather could probably benefit.

Any four of these NikeLab Air Force 1s excluding the Air Force 1 High CMFT (http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pw/n/1j7?sl=nikelab air force) all come in many colors, low-top or mid-top. I've seen the newer version of the NikeLab Air Force 1 Low in person (http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/nikelab-air-force-1-low-mens-shoe/pid-11455827/pgid-11621652) and the quality is great. It is leather from top to bottom, including the midsole as well. The cool part is that they feature a drop-in Phylon midsole with an Air unit underneath in the heel. If you perhaps have a pair of Kobe 8s or 9s or any other shoe with drop-in midsoles that are thick enough, you can switch it out and adjust your comfort. Prices range from $150 - $165.

Hope this helps!

Well everything I've read so far is pointing to some monarchs as the most comfortable work shoe and for 47 bucks that ain't to bad
