Answers:
try a toolies heel cup.. they take the pressure off the arches and make your feet feel great....
comfier shoes?
Buy some chef shoes, they're made for standing all day. I like Sanitas.
The regular plain old no frills shoe inserts help A LOT, BUT they still kind of squish my feet, so I would try and get a shoe in a half size bigger. If the shoes are too loose, get really thick squishy socks too (which help as well). The more you walk around, the more you'll get used to it! Also, before work pop a couple of Advil to take the edge off.
Also, my friend used to be a valet, and he said Nike Shox (spelling?) where the best shoes he ever used... I don't know what the dress code is for Friday's, but if you can wear tennis shoes, I would try those.
Mine did this when I stared retail 6 years ago. Your body will eventually get used to it. Make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes. That's really all you can do.
When all else fails try Dr. Scholls, they are lite and comfortable. They have so many different styles out that you can't tell who they were made by...plus your going to make $$$... I hope no one is looking at your shoes that hard!!!
Extra socks. Seriously.
I was a waitress for awhile, and my feet 'hurt me' badly sometimes, too. You may need to do some 'serious shoe shopping' and look for good 'waitress' shoes by asking for 'nursing shoes' or nurses shoes ... they are 'ugly as sin' and I don't know if you could actually wear them while you are working, but if you could carry your 'work shoes' to the job and change there, and wear the much better 'nurses shoes' on your feet for at least 4 hours a day, I think you'll find that your feet are much happier and don't KILL you every day.
Use comfortable shoes with plenty of sole/cushion. Also, try wearing two pair of socks with Dr. Scholls shoe insoles! Stand on a thick mat if your standing in one area for a long period of time! Oh yeah, also use plenty of baby powder or foot powder on your feet before putting socks on.
Don't get New Balance shoes. They go bad fast. I got my waitressing shoes from Wal-Mart. They were a nice black pair and lasted practically forever. Wal-Mart specializes in workers' shoes. Then buy one of those little foot spa things. Nothing like coming home from a long day and soaking the tootsies, then smear lotion on and put on a new pair of socks for bed. Your feet will feel like gold.
I'd exercise the muscles in your feet, such as going for a walk to work your muscles in your feet. If you go for a walk every day, then maybe when you are working, it won't be as bad? You could also get some of those comfortable, ugly shoes everyone talks about. The nurse kind.. LOL.. good luck! They have little holes in the shoes, and can come in many colors. They look like they're made out of rubber or some kind of plastic, but everyone says they're comfortable.
First make sure your shoes have a nice thick rubber sole. You migth also want to visit a chiropractor to make sure your spine is in alignment. Your alignment can affect how "heavy" you walk and the wear it tolls on your feet.
Buy you some Propel or New balance shoes,they work for me.Hope you find something,feet that ache really drive me nuts...
You'll have to purchase a better pair of shoes that will support you feet while standing on them for long periods of time. When you get home , soak them in warm water.....and elevate your feet when relaxing* massaging them also*
GoodLUcK*
buy u some special shoe's that is soft and made to help u
Check out nurses shoes. It isnt as bad as it sounds, nurses shoes have come a long way. They are good sound shoes with support and comfort. Nurses are on there feet all day long. I am on my feet all day and trust me nurses shoes are the best. I bought 2 pair, it is best to switch shoes. Dont wear the same shoe every day.
I say Shoes For Crews. They are made for the restaurant business and have great non slip soles. They have very cushy insoles and mine have always lasted a long time.
There is another, more expensive solution. You may very well have feet that are uneven or otherwise not getting enough support. There are companies that can custom fit insoles for your feet. The one down side is that they take a week or so to get used to, but when your foot conforms to the orthopedic, you will be much happier.
go to www.shoesforcrews.com to order shoes made for restaurant workers, they are also slip resistant so you won't slip when you have to go to the kitchen, they also provide extra max insoles.
Buy some "Croc's" they are very comfy!! Also, A good "Support" stocking's might help; they make your legs feel very good. I know I am on my feet for 10 hours a day. They make your legs and feet feel more energetic !!! Good Luck!!
