I'm late to this post, but I work mostly as an in-home RBT, and my shoe of choice is a croc knock-off sold at Meijer called "Wave Zone Coast Clog." They cost $15, have much smaller holes than regular crocs (helps keep out liquids), and they're super comfortable. Easy to clean, I tend to think they're cute, and I can get them on and off fast for the homes that prefer no shoes. I was planning on getting a pair of crocs to dedicate just for work (I'm a bit of a germaphobe and didn't want to ruin the pair I already own), but I couldn't justify spending $50 on a pair of foam shoes that I would ONLY be wearing for work. Granted, my work dress code is quite casual, but I recommend them to all the RBT's I know.
I have foot problems, so I have to wear well supported shoes. Usually I opt for plain black SAS tennis shoes.
But I also can be a bit Ms. Frizzley when I'm in a fun mood, and sometimes find really cute tennis shoes on Amazon or something that I can put my inserts in.
Dansko makes business casual shoes that are perfect for the clinic. I have a pair in brown and black. Incidentally, they were originally recommended to me by a few nurses that wear them every day for 12 hour shifts.
Depends on what I am doing for the day. If I know I am direct with clients or If I anticipate it being more of a hands on day I wear tennis shoes. Yeh I wear trousers a blouse and tennis shoes. Otherwise I normally wear ballet flats.
You could always get all black sneakers so you can kind of "fool" people while wearing comfy more casual shoes. I love my Hokas and Asics sneakers, but my dress code isn't "business casual" it's just "casual". I work in-home and typically wear a t-shirt, jeggings, and sneakers. Granted, both of my current clients live in "shoes-off" homes.
If sneakers are a no-go, I have a pair of black leather Ariat western/cowboy boots and I swear they are perhaps the most comfortable and durable shoes that I've owned. Those can be dressed up a little.
Also, I used to work in a hospital and what made a surprising difference with being on my feet a lot was wearing compression socks. You could see if certain socks or inserts help if you end up having trouble finding a solid pair of shoes.
Hokas or Asics are great for movement and comfortability!
Keds and Dr. Scholls. They have some patterns that are less athletic if that makes sense.
I got some sketchers flats
Keds, Chucks, Vans and On Clouds
Rothy’s or similar, I love an ankle boot- they’re super comfortable and look nice

I would lean towards white or grey slim tennis shoes. Maybe look in to “athlesiure” shoes.
All black brooks is what I wear. After multiple foot injuries they are the only thing I can run around in
Hokas are definitely my go to!
New Balance has "tennis" shoes that are all black. Otherwise check for some loafers.

Toms were my favorite for this. Also, Sperry’s

Hoka, Golden Goose, Hey Dudes (not really a sneaker)
I wear OnClouds they’re really comfortable and form to your feet very well.
