Making a separate portion of everything vegan just for her? How could she not feel welcome? Were I a vegan, and were someone to go to such lengths for me, I'd send them a personal thank you note.
I'm not vegan though. I like eggs too much. And a good pork chop... and some chili, I do a great homemade chili... and chicken and dressing, the kind our pastor makes for church dinners, yeah... And deli thin-sliced turkey, about half an inch thick layer, between two slices of my sourdough bread, with a little mayo and mustard...
Great. I just ate and now I'm all hungry again. :/

The ones that worked best for me were skechers work shoes. I tried new balance and asics, both were good but wore out quickly. Then again, I weigh alot lol. They'll probably last longer for you. I always check the reviews at amazon and zappos before I buy.
Here's a page of the skechers womens work shoes if you're interested. I got mine on sale at for about $50, regularly $70.

The new balance I wore were running shoes but they were all black so they looked like dress shoes. The asics were running shoes too, but they were white.

Thank you. 
I'm looking at these now, and I think I found a pair. Seriously, I was about to just curl up on the floor and cry from pain today. I still am stiff legged. I'm gonna see what I can do about that.

Lil,
I am going to second Zero's endorsement here. All my life I've worked at jobs in which I am almost constantly on my feet and often carrying/lifting/moving boxes nearly as big as I am. The only shoes I've ever tried that helped keep my feet from hurting were Skechers, BUT, they were the Skechers "Shape Ups" (the "rocker" shoes that were pulled for false advertising) which aren't available anymore. I stockpiled 4 pairs from every place I could find before they disappeared altogether. However, the Skechers Work shoes look like they might have about the same amount of padding on the soles so they might really help you. If you want, get a half-size bigger and add a pair of Dr. Scholl's insoles as well.
I've heard that Asics and New Balance are actually recommended by podiatrists but I haven't had any luck at all with New Balance. One thing I've learned is that it's VERY important to make sure the bottom of the shoe has a THICK, FIRM base. My feet DO NOT like all the soft, flexible, memory foam, or "lite" bases that are so popular nowadays. Yes, the shoes are going to seem HEAVY but that's a good thing, in my experience, because if it doesn't have at least a good inch or more (I prefer more) thickness to the sole (and the sole must be FIRM, not bendable), my feet ache like no tomorrow. Your feet may be different but years of trial and error have taught me specifically what to look for.
You may wind up paying $100 for a good pair but nothing is worth your sacrificing your health and safety. Without proper support, it can cause all kinds of other problems as well, such as problems with your knees and back (take it from us old people!)
There is another site as well called Shoes For Crews that has a variety of work shoes for varying situations as well, including non-slip if you're ever working near water (such as in restaurants.)
Keep us posted! *Hugs*
P.S. If you buy a slightly larger size, wearing 2 pairs of socks, or at least very thick, cozy ones, will definitely help prevent chafing and blisters. Ask me how I know! At my last job I would sometimes be on my feet 13 hours, almost straight through, moving and lifting boxes... Those Skechers were worth every penny.
