Walking
Nothing will resolve the arthritis in my right foot except surgery, but this shoe is comfortable—and more so when I replaced the lifts with my ancient orthotics!

Hooka Skyflow
The Hoka Clifton 10 is an excellent shoe and I would definitely rank it among the best options for someone who spends many hours on their feet. It provides plenty of cushioning, remains relatively lightweight, and delivers a smooth, comfortable ride. HOKA also increased the cushioning and refined the fit in this version, making it even more comfortable for long periods of standing and walking.
