That\u2019s when your feet are largest from standing for long periods of time. Also, remember that because you\u2019re on your feet so much, your shoes take a lot of beating, sort of like athletic shoes do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine recommends replacing athletic shoes after 300 to 500 miles or within about six months. Do the same with your comfortable work shoes or rotate them with extra pairs of shoes. That may seem excessive in the short run, but it will really pay off in the long run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Find your fit from among a variety of styles appropriate for your workplace dress code. All are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\">endorsed by Andrew Weil, MD<\/span><\/a>, an internationally recognized pioneer in the field of integrative medicine. With a focus on preventing health problems, this approach embraces both conventional and alternative techniques to help heal the whole person. And the right shoes are a great low-tech and easy way to help prevent pain and problems associated with poor alignment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/women\/wear-to-work.html\"><b>Shop for Work Shoes<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Take a peek at Vionic\u2019s newest work shoes for women with heel pain:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Satima Active Sneaker<\/b><\/span><\/a><b> \u2013 Great supportive shoes for non-office environments<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5195\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5195\" class=\"wp-image-5195\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-12-at-9.33.03-AM-2-300x237.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"286\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-12-at-9.33.03-AM-2-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.vionicshoes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Screen-Shot-2019-02-12-at-9.33.03-AM-2.png 488w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Satima Active Sneaker<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Good for comfort <i>and<\/i>\u00a0added stability of a lace-up shoe.
