I work in hospitality, and I stand on my feet for about 11 hours a day, then come home and do the washing/dinner/dishes and maybe get off my feet about 7pm.
I wear
Merrell sneakers. I bought them from the shop online in the link.
I have worn redbacks and birkenstocks before, and these beat them hands down.
They are lighter than a novel, can be put through the wash ( I do weekly, and did with my last pair for 2 years) don't give blisters EVER and are fantastic.
Go to a shop (platipus shoes often stock them) and get your size, then order online if it is cheaper. When I bought they had a 2nd pair half price sale, so I got a black and white pair too, just for walking.
I did however have to wear them in for a few days just to get the zip to do up, you usually have to hold the zip together for the first few times as they are made to be snug.
