They have those ergonomic cushioned work mats. </p> <p>When I worked at a job, they gave us shoes from the company 'Shoes for Crews.' They were always really comfy and they last a long time, too. They have sneakers, casual and dress shoes, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-175525 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:43:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 175525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I found mine at a shoe store in Boston called the Tannery, but I think you might have to search for a store that carries them. Apparently they are a break away from Merrill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-175509 Thu, 31 May 2012 21:39:19 +0000 mediagirl 175509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I have never heard of that brand before. Those shoes look so comfy!! Can you find them in stores or just online? </p> <p>I think good shoes and good socks for running/walking make all the difference. Glad you found something to work for you, @mrbee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-175110 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:20:19 +0000 heffalump 175110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: make sure you go to a podiatrist and get the ones that are actually fitted to your feet. They sell all sorts of crap that promise to help, but they're not close to being the same. They're expensive, but so worth it. I have an uncle who's a podiatrist in Ny, but he's far from you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-175035 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:42:05 +0000 Running Elley 175035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: You're welcome!!! I'll live vicariously through you until this little boy is born and I can really run again :)</p> <p>ETA: I am still madly jealous of your treadmill desk btw! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-175029 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:38:56 +0000 mrbee 175029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I will definitely consider them as I get more into it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-175027 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:38:24 +0000 mrbee 175027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: That's a great idea! There's one nearby and I never thought to go there.</p> <p>Thanks, *Running* Elley! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-175024 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:36:30 +0000 Running Elley 175024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite running shoes are Mizunos! But I highly recommend going into a specialty running store and getting fitted for a pair of shoes. That makes all the difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-175014 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:30:39 +0000 heffalump 175014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you thought about orthodics? </p> <p>My dad's a foot doctor so my whole family wears them and loves them. Except me because you have to wear them with sneakers or closed toed shoes and I only wear flip flops, but I do wear orthodic flip flops. They're not fitted to your feet so they're not as good, but I figure better then nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-174872 Thu, 31 May 2012 15:18:31 +0000 BoogieBea 174872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sneakers are probably the most comfortable but if you want to wear shoes, I hear clogs are very comfortable. For summers, I love my birkenstocks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-174870 Thu, 31 May 2012 15:16:33 +0000 MamaMoose 174870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh so jealous! I wish I could wear sneakers at work!</p> <p>I have always found that New Balance sneakers are the most supportive for me. But it really just depends on your individual feet. If you go to a running store they should actually be able to do a personalized fit with you and help you find the shoe that will be most supportive for you based on your feet and the way you stand and walk/run. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-174869 Thu, 31 May 2012 15:16:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 174869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently wearing Cushe shoes for work <a href="http://www.cushe.com/US/en/Mens-ViewAll" rel="nofollow">http://www.cushe.com/US/en/Mens-ViewAll</a>, which seem to help a lot. For running I use a Saucony lightweight shoe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-finally-figured-out-the-key-to-standing-all-day-long-without-pain#post-174861 Thu, 31 May 2012 15:14:04 +0000 mrbee 174861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been standing a lot lately, and thought I was getting sore b/c of a lack of physical fitness or stretching. It turns out that I was just wearing uncomfortable shoes!</p> <p>I switched to Nikes that have loads of padding and I've been able to stand all day and even walk a few more miles than I usually do. Also, I make sure to wear socks all day. I also just bought extra-thick Thorlo Experia running socks to help me out on that front too;<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004N5HD5S/" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004N5HD5S/</a></p> <p>Any tips on comfortable shoes, socks or insoles that help make standing/running more comfortable? My feet thank you in advance!! </p>
