Shoes for Work

If you work on your feet all day, you know what that can do to your body. Especially in a job that requires standing in one place for a prolonged period, you’ve experienced the slow soreness that creeps in to your feet, legs, back and neck. You may try to shift from one foot to the other, but that only goes so far.

The best way to combat this discomfort is to pick out a pair of shoes that will be more comfortable to stand in. Dress shoes and high heels won’t cut it – you’ll need something with more support and a sturdy, solid base.

The American Podiatric Medical Association has a whole list of brands that have been given the APMA’s Seal of Acceptance. This means that the shoes provide a healthy amount of support, and may be beneficial to your well being in the work place.
