Find some "work" shoes. They're more comfortable, and they hold up much longer than a brand's regular wares. They're often sold as non-slip shoes.

I've personally had some daily wear Skechers "work" shoes that after 5 years of comfortable wear, I finally had to replace the insoles, but they're otherwise still holding up as well as the day I bought them. Every pair of shoes I've ever owned long term have been "work" shoes. Shoes for Crews are pretty expensive, but I had a pair of them last long enough that I finally ditched them because they just looked old fashioned, they were otherwise still wonderfully intact.
Since my vans fell apart, I’ve been wearing my sketchers work shoes I bought for a job like 4 years ago. I didn’t wear them a ton but I’m wearing them to work daily now, they are still functionally new besides being dirty.
