Need new shoes, gentle, comfy, cushioned shoes/slippers! It's gotten bad- for over a year we've been living in a unit that has polished concrete floors- rugs and mats everywhere. But, can't endure any more, I wake up in the mornings with throbbing feet, I've tried a lot to make it manageable but I obviously just need a new pair shoes/slippers to wear around the house during mornings and nights, something with good cushioning- in an ideal world slip on shoes- but idc, just want out of pain, maybe you think inserts are the answer?? Offer anything that's worked for you and yours- I'll be so grateful! As always, thanks comrades!

Edit: Thank you everyone soooo much! My first move is buying a pair of crocks for around the house, I found a drug store nearby that has the dr.scolls insole machine. And long term will think about a pair of Altra's and look for sales(they are not cheap). Thank you hexbears!!

Yes inserts are the answer. The Dr. Scholls inserts have machines, usually at drug stores where it reads the contours of your feet and then recommends which one is best for your shape.

They have these machines at new balance stores as well, although keep in mind the actual shoes there are overpriced nowadays.
