Are comfortable and repairable shoes possible and sensible from an economic point of view? Any recommendations?

But most people don't consider them comfortable. More the opposite.
But no, the foam and rubber modern "comfortable" shoes are made of are not repairable. Fundamentally, the foam or other sole material simply breaks down. The rubber wears away. And the woven and plastic materials the upper are made of fray, lose padding, and otherwise break down as well.
