Many of you will probably laugh; but, Crocs worked well for me! I looked at the MBTs. However, Crocs are very comfortable, have good shock absorption, and only cost around $30-40.
To make matter worse, they work best when I wear socks to prevent rubbing! 
Outside of the house, ASIC Air running shoes have been very comfortable and shock aborbing. They are around $150. However, I needed my wife to tie my shoes for the first few weeks after surgery.
