Feet are killing me
Have a question for those of you that stand on their feet all day.
What shoes do you wear? I'm working at a job that I stand in one place 8 hours a day. Literally, I don't move unless it's break time or lunch. My feet have become the appendages from hell, and before I go to a podiatrist, I wanted to know who's wearing what. I bought a pair of Ecco's but they made my feet hurt worse than my high dollar New Balance's did. |

Depends on what you need for style.
My mom has issues with her feet, and her doc told her wear New Balance shoes all the time, and oNLY new balance. I wore ecco's or Docs when I worked at the dealership. Now I wear combat boots. |

Birkenstocks FTW! Custom fit..ugly as hell, but worth the 3-4 hundred you'll pay.
You gonna get me some too? |

The problem I'm having with tennis shoes is that they point me downhill all day. I need shoes that are level.
Forgot the name, but tried some on that the heel is lower than the sole. Felt REALLY weird! |

I'm usually wearing a pair of Corcoran Machs, which are SUPER comfy, nd can probably pass for casual if you're careful.
Sears sold a pair of side zip boots I love too, decent looking and quite comfy. I've ALWAYS been a boots guy, but then again, what I'm into doing for work, boots are most suitable. custodians or mechanics shouldnt be working in fancy shoes. |

I'm only 23 and my feet hurt during work. With my slip on boots I wear them two sizes too big. I put in a gel insole and an arch insole. Glue them down or they'll move on you.
With tennis shoes I just do my best. |
