What Shoes Should You Have If You Have Standing Job?

It has been proven that a lot depends on shoes. If you spend every working day standing up, then choosing the right shoes will affect not only your productivity but also how you spend your weekends and how often you need the help of orthopedic surgeons.

If you have proper shoes you get rid of the following problems:

• Severe leg fatigue
• Pain in the back and lower back
• Pain in the foot, burning in the sole.

What should you pay attention to when choosing such shoes?

Removable insole available. This will allow you to replace the insole with a soft orthopaedic or anatomical insole and simply change the insoles periodically to reduce odours and improve hygiene.

The upper of the shoe should be as breathable as possible and not pinch the blood circulation. Avoid rough internal seams. If you walk a lot, then ideally shoes should be laced.

Models with elastic inserts are of lower priority, since not with the entire range of fluctuations in the condition of the foot during the day, they will cope with an increase in volume.

The sole should be arch support or erratic. Ideally – a combination of these parameters.

Avoid thin, even soles, as prolonged exposure to such shoes, is fraught with the development of flat feet.

A good strong heel counter that does not allow the foot to deviate outward or sink inward.

Shock-absorbing heel part with a strengthening of a sole on the sides. Legs and back will be less tired. The bevelled part of the sole under the heel will give relief to the muscles of the foot when walking. At the same time, a strongly protruding heel with a flat sole will give a reinforced “slap”, and you will either overwork the foot or overload the lower back.

The presence of a recess in the springy sole in the heel area.

This will add cushioning and reduce shock loads on the joints and spine, and reduce swelling.

How to try such shoes on correctly?

Put on your shoes and stand up straight (flat back, top of the head stretches up).

Feel if there is excessive emphasis on the front of the foot. If you feel this, then it is better to exclude a couple from the choice.

Try to lean forward. If forward leaning is achieved with ease, then it is better not to take this pair.

Modern sports and walking shoes often have a mechanism in the sole that distributes the load between the front and back of the foot. It is important to choose ones that do not have increased forward lean, which is often found in some running shoes.

Well, in the end, a few signs that it’s time to change the existing work shoes for a new ones:

• The back of the shoe is deformed and displaced inward or outward.
• Strong wear in the sole in the heel or forefoot area.
• By the end of the day, the foot burns in the shoes.
• By the end of the day, pain and tension in the lower back are felt.
