On Running is well-known for its running sneakers, and its technology CloudTec is designed specifically for running; however, the CloudTec range will honestly work wonders, in terms of comfort, no matter what you're up to.

Ecco achieves this with their Vitrus collection of shoes for men which is comprised of dress shoes, loafers, and boots. The innovative Viturs shank, featured in all of the shoes, allows the formulation of a soft, cupped heel that'll bring you closer to the ground for greater stability and comfort. Ecco's Vitrus shoes also feature Fluidfrom, a lightweight and fluid material, that's wrapped around the Vitrus shank so the interior of the shoe follows the natural contours of feet, meaning you can comfortably wear any Ecco Vitrus shoe all day long.

A very new brand, having only been launched in November 2020, is Amberjack. The Amberjack team has had years of experience though, working with some of the biggest heavyweights in the men’s footwear industry such as Cole Haan, Allen Edmonds, and Adidas.

They only have one shoe to offer, ‘The Original’, which is a stylish dress shoe, perfect for both smart casual and formal affairs (and everything in between), available in six timeless colours. But this shoe is secretly a serious game-changer when it comes to men’s shoes. The soles of The Original are crafted with new, proprietary materials created by Amberjack that deliver comfort all day long! The shoes also feature heat-activated arch support made with foam (that’s more durable than memory foam) that when heated by your body warmth will mould to your foot for custom arch support.

Not to mention a dual-density outsole with high-performance athletic technology in the front for flexibility and strong hiking boot material in the back for support. Oh, and the sustainably sourced Italian suede used for the upper is water repellent, meaning you can wear these shoes in rain or shine, and the suede will stay protected and fresh. Seriously, these will be some of the comfiest shoes you’ll ever own.

Founded in 1850, Johnston & Murphy first specialised in crafting quality and highly durable work shoes but in 1880, took the craftsmanship and durability of their work shoes and built them into a line of higher-fashion footwear, which quickly became popular around the world. In 2010, Johnston & Murphy held an online "Ultimate Comfort Contest", asking customers to send in why they find shoes uncomfortable, so that Johnston and Murphy could rectify those issues with their next line of shoes.

And boy, did they. Johnston & Murphy launched their XC4 range, which stands for Extreme Comfort and the number 4 represents the four main features of XC4 shoes: moisture-wicking, lightweight, cushioning, and an extra removable insole for a perfect fit. The XC4 collection is made up of sneakers, boots, and dress shoes that'll all keep your feet feeling but also looking good.
