i got a job earlier last month as one of the free sample guys you see at costco, so i’m on my feet for about 6+ hours a day just standing in one spot. they give us mats to stand on too, which i’m trying to use more, but i’m a little flat-footed and they haven’t helped as much as i’d like. my ankles are absolutely killing me now that im on my third week of work to where i’m limping a little after a shift, (cus i unconsciously put more weight on my left foot) and i feel like i can only take so much ibuprofen, yknow??

    Congrats on the new job! I’ve found Superfeet insoles to be supremely helpful, both for walking and standing. My orthopedist recommended them a few years ago, and I’ve been using them ever since. Superfeet’s website has a nice “Insole Finder” to help choose the right type of insole for your needs, which I found accurate for my feet.
