Got a job that literally keeps you on your toes? We’re not talking about being challenged at work; we’re talking about standing on your feet all day!
Standing all day doesn’t have to be a drag. It’s likely that if you’re experiencing foot pain, ankle pain, back pain or any other type of pain while standing on your feet at work, this is down to poor footwear.
So, how can you improve your work life and give yourself a happier, healthier body? Choosing better footwear is essential for this.
Here, Forbes Footwear offers a guide on the best shoes for standing all day, giving you comfort and support:
Women’s casual shoe: Cabello
Cabello are a women’s shoe brand that has a reputation for comfort and style, across all their shoe styles. They chose the name because their shoes feel like you’re walking on clouds, so it’s a fair indicator that these shoes were made for comfort.
If you’re working in an industry that permits casual shoes, then Cabello is one of the best brands for standing all day. These supportive yet stylish shoes have a cushioned and arch-supported innersole, taking the load off your heel and ball. They work great with custom orthotics too.
Women’s dress shoe: Klouds
Not all workplaces permit casual shoes, so now we come to one of the best women’s dress shoe brand for comfort and support – Klouds. It’s a smart, chic and sensible dress shoe which doesn’t sacrifice comfort in the name of style. It features a low 1” heel but with plenty of arch support to evenly distribute your body weight and keep you balanced.
Men’s casual/running shoe: Hoka
Hoka is a relative newcomer in the shoe game, but it’s built an excellent reputation for comfort and support in a short period of time. The Hoka Clifton series is a casual/running shoe which is recommended by podiatrists all over the world. With enhanced weight reduction properties, more cushioning underfoot and a rocker sole unit which helps take the pressure of your foot, this shoe is perfect for men standing on their feet all day.
Men’s dress shoe: Florsheim
Looking for style and comfort? Florsheim is a hard-wearing men’s dress shoe brand which ticks all the boxes of comfort, support and durability. They come with a full grain leather upper, soft underfoot cushioning, strong heel counters for support and rubber or polyurethane outersoles.
