This.

Do note a few things though with the above brands:

1) good year welted shoes will break in differently than cheaply glued together shoes. In fact, you may notice that it'll hurt your feet for a couple weeks. that's normal. After that though, it will conform to your feet and be more comfortable with time. in fact, more comfortable than sneakers with constant wear.
2) try on different AE's or Aldens. Each will offer different Lasts. the shape of your foot will either like it or not.. and sizing will also run differently for each last.

Oh yeah, and generally speaking, get cedar shoe trees.
