Love my crocs. Be careful, they will bring aluminum shavings back in the house with you.

My favorite shoes while building were something similar to this from Merrell. They were well-insulated for working in a cold garage and were extremely comfortable.

I used Race Deck floor tiles in my shop. They help insulate and they are much more forgiving on the feet/knees than concrete. Clubcobra.com arranged for a discount, if you are interested.
I work long days at SnF and Oshkosh standing on the hangar floors. I wear Rockport walking shoes exclusively.

Best for your feet
I'm a runner so I always have a pile of used running shoes. These along with old pieces of carpet really help. I also use the thick 2" black foam under my knees and stools under by rear. Put a stool on each side of the project, really does help.
FYI, just spent 3 hrs in the barn and never sat down. Some nights are just like that.

I have big feet (14s) and know how important good shoes are. I spend more on shoes that the rest of my wardrobe, I suppose. I did work on carpet, and that helped. But I like Ecco brand shoes, their deck shoes. About $200, but worth it. Good for flying, also, as they give good feel of those pedal thingies, what ever they are for.

New Balance slip ons. They are the best I've ever worn. They look just like the New Balance lace up walking shoes, but they slip on. About $65.00 at most stores that carry New Balance shoes. You won't regret buying a pair.

Try a farm and ranch store. They have lots of matting at a good price. http://www.tractorsupply.com/equine/...ubber-matting/

A few years back I developed a condition called Mortons neuroma in my left foot. Hurts like heck and is made worse by shoes that are too narrow. I searched high and low and ended up with shoes by Keen. Super comfortable with a very wide toe box.
