Footwear recommendations

As we know the footwear choices are pretty bad , just wondered if anyone can recommend some trainers or low shoes for doing our job?
Ideally a little water resistant and low to the ground!
Many thanks

All footwear are low to the ground very low.

I have been wearing karrimor summit walking shoes for a while now.

They only last a few months but are not expensive, look smart and have fairly good grip. I could not wear any of the RM shoes as they were all giving me grief. I got a doctor's note so RM cover the cost.

Nike revolution trainers are what I buy.

Thanks , any links to the Nike/ Reebok?
When I mean low I just mean not having big heels like the RM issue shoes have.
Plus a little water resistance as it's hard to avoid wet grass some days.
The karrimors look alright , may pop to sports direct and try them.

I was in my local Sports Direct a couple of weeks ago and there were signs up saying you weren't allowed to try clothes on. I'm not sure if this included trainers or not but it could be a problem if you can't try them on.

You can try the shoes/trainers on in there. I got some last week and tried them on first.
