You're just going to have to shop like the dickens for yourself, and your own feet. Everyone will tell you than comfort is more important than style or "cute", especially for being out and about all day long.
You need to determine what your feet require - thick cushiony soles, support, etc. Some will offer that your choices of footwear are greater if you get yourself some proper orthotics.
Basically, shoes should not require "breaking in". They must feel like a dream when you first give them a try. Nothing about them rubs, grabs, irritates, feels the least bit uncomfortable the moment you put them on. THEN, you must test them to determine if they will go the distance. Walking around your house and a few steps between your car and other destinations throughout the day are NOTHING compared to pounding the pavements, cobblestone streets, stone walkways, very hard, miles and miles, of museum floors, all about your travels. Best bet is to give shoes a test in a nearby large city or museums or even your local mall for an entire day.
