I sold shoes for years and know a little about them. I'm not sure what is the problem we are trying to solve. Respectfully, Zeke offers a solution (slip on....deck shoes.....cushion and support) but I am unclear on the problem.

For support, you guys may wrinkle your nose at this but....cowboy boots. The most comfortable footwear I have ever had were c'boy boots. Not the cheap ones. They probably don't even make them anymore, but Dan Post boots were perfect for me. Feather light. Fit my foot as good as any custom boot could have. Total support all the way around my foot, everywhere. Especially through the arch, instep and metatarsal areas.

Cushion-ey shoes sometimes exacerbate the problem you are trying to solve. Achy feet are often caused by too much flex, and cushion-ey shoes will not fix this.

For slippers I like leather Romeos. For reasons I cannot understand, they seem hard to find these days. In my hometown, the loggers wore them anytime they did not have their 'cork' boots on. Their corks were usually custom made. TONS of support.

Do yourself a favor. Consider Samuel Hubbard. They make very good shoes. Don't look at the price, just buy them. You are worth it, and so are they. You are welcome.

In my view, high quality shoes are not expensive, even when you pay a lot for them. They WAY outlast cheaper ones. They say a man should have a comfortable bed and comfortable shoes. Because he will spend his entire life in one or the other.
