I've been selling shoes for 6 years and I can tell you nothing beats a Dansko for comfort, support and stability when you're standing all day. I sell tons of Danskos to professionals (nurses, doctors, teachers, etc.) and other people that stand all day, and tons to people who just want a comfortable shoe.
Merrells are quite good (I have 4 pair myself) but they're not going to even come close to the Danko comfort when you're standing all day. Your feet will start killing you after a few hours. Merrell has its origins as a hiking company, and they're great for that purpose. But they use rubber soles for traction as opposed to the Danskos' PU sole. PU gives way better support and cushion than rubber and will last much longer.
Eccos are excellent like Trev said (some are even better than Danskos), but generally are more expensive than Danskos. But it may be worth your while to find an Ecco outlet and see if theres a cheap pair of discontinued ones that you could get cheap.
Good luck!
