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??
I used to cook in restaurants, and the days where I was doing prep in one spot for long stretches were the hardest on my body. Clogs did help a bit though, so although I got aches and pains more of in my back, that may help a little. Maybe clogs plus an insole.
