Hoka. They are popular with nurses and people on their feet all day. My partner had a torn tendon causing a collapsed arche and that was the brand the Ortho recommended. After a major ankle surgery to repair the damage, Hoka is still the go-to brand for anything more than superficial walking. I ended up grabbing myself a pair and I understand why they are so popular. They have fully replaced my New Balance.
In addition to Hoka I really like my Altra shoes. They have a wide toebox so if your foot swelling is most of a problem around there then that should help. The paradigms I have also have metal support beams in the shoe to prevent your foot from rolling around which may help.
My mom loves Altra shoes. Her feet are weird and her one ankle is all fucked up from two bothed reconstruction surgeries. She said they're the only shoes that don't hurt. She doesn't have hardware like I do and had very different surgery than me, however. I'll see if I can try her pair on sometime and see how they fit. We're the same size, conveniently lol
