New job need supportive shoes

Hi
I am starting a new job soon doing dom care so will be on my feet a lot going to different clients houses.
I have low arches on my feet so need some decent supportive shoes that are not too clumpy, does anyone have any good recomendations?

    Hotter are worth a look. May not be the styles you're after but they're brilliantly supportive and comfortable. My mum has v odd shaped feet (bless her!) and mobility problems and swears by Hotter.

    I wear Skechers Shape Ups for work (long shifts on my feet all the time) and they're great, like walking on cushions and I never get sore feet.

    I don't know how they'd be for low arches, but worth a try?

    I can only endorse the ohter two posters, Hotters and skechers,

    They are a little more expensive but worth every single penny spent.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    My daughter finds Hush Puppies more comfortable than Hotter - particularly their Body Shoe range.

    My SIL works in a shop, on her feet for hours and swears by these, expensive but she says they're worth every penny :)

    Fitflops! the brand I meant, not flipflops :) they do slippers/slide-ins, shoes, trainers, boots... and they have eased the pain from my heel/knee/back and I can walk for miles in them with no pain :-) they absorb impact very well and are so so comfy

    Clarks unstructured. I suffer with my back, and have flat feet, so I too need supportive, comfortable shoes. Clarks unstructured are the best ever, they don't even need wearing in, they are so good my feet were instantly comfortable as soon as I put them on. I loved them so much, I went back to the shop the next day to buy another pair!

    I'm wearing skechers shapeups at the moment. Got them two weeks ago for £20.00 from T K Maxx. Worth a look in there as they had a couple of different styles and cheaper than their own store in one of the discount outlets.
