I am an instructor, and am therefore on my feet all day long. If I could find one pair of boots from a brand, I would buy one in each color to wear. Any help would be nice. If you can, post the brand, a picture, and the price. Thanks!
I have diabetes, so I have to wear comfortable shoes (for health reasons), so if boots are uncomfortable, I throw them away or donate them. So, I consider myself an amateur expert on judging shoe comfort. I have had a pair of Naturalizer boots for three years now, and they are so comfortable I feel like I'm walking around in slippers. I can definitely vouch for their comfort, and next time I go shopping for boots, I'll look to Naturalizer first. They have lasted through countless snow storms, I've never fallen on ice when wearing them, and they were nicely priced. Their website has a decent selection of boots for this year, and many match your above criteria. If you want selection, check out the Easy Spirit website, they had lots of shoes in a lot of styles. I've never bought their boots in the past, because the style selection was limited, but it looks like this year they've gone all out. I can tell you they make some "wear them 18 hours and they're still comfy" shoes. I've recently become addicted to the amazing comfort of Hush Puppies shoes, but the website only had two boot styles (but the one met your above criteria). Aerosoles is also an option, but they seem to be doing a whole lot of wedge boots this year. And in my opinion, wedges aren't too comfortable to stand in all day. There are a lot of options from all four companies, so checking their websites should give you a few options.
