Comfort is a personal metric that no one can help you with. People think I'm wrong on this.
You do not buy brands for BIFL. You buy specific shoe types that are BIFL due to construction methods that allow repair or ones that are just naturally hardy through experience. For example...Red Wings is a brand. They sell shoes that will last 200 years. They sell shoes that will last for 20 minutes. How is one to tell?
What you want are goodyear welted shoes. The easy button for most is Red Wings.

You should visit a location and get fitted Al Bundy style as, respectfully, you do not know your actual shoe size. Ask for slip resistant long wearing shoes featuring goodyear welt construction. Get fitted and walk around in the shoe prior to purchase as most quality shoes come in a length and width metric which is an unknown concept to many.
