    Standing All Day - Need Better Shoes

    I would try going to a nursing uniform shop. They have shoes there that are specifically designed for standing/walking all day on "cement" type flooring. They come in a wide variety of styles as well as colors.

    I just bought 2 pair when I picked up my new uniforms and they are SOO comfortable, I almost don't want to take them off.

    I bought 2 different styles, but they are called NurseMates Pillow Top. They have them for men and women.

    Check out inserts that have that "gel" in them, I've heard great things from users of them.

    I like J_9's idea about the shoes and would add only this, support hose (as bad or as old as that might make you feel LOL) can go a long way to helping out with the legs. Good shoes and good socks too!

    While I was working in retail, also involving a lot of standing and running about, I found CATs where excellent.
    I tended towards boots, but I also had a pair of their "training" shoes and they where extremely comfortable.
