Read on to learn how to find the best standing supportive work shoe.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Shoes for Standing On Your Feet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Both men\u2019s and women\u2019s work shoes for standing all day often fall short of the supportive features that the structural elements of your feet need to be properly supported and comfortable on a concrete surface. Your feet have a huge responsibility in helping support and facilitate every stride you take and when they aren\u2019t properly supported, they can\u2019t function at their best. Think of it as being like the first thing in the morning before you\u2019ve had any caffeine and done your normal wake-up routine. If you don\u2019t give yourself the right tools to help wake up and get your day started on the right track, then the rest of your day can suffer as a result. Your feet are the same way and it can take a bit of trial and error to find exactly what works best for your unique foot structure and work environment. But don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re here to help make sure that finding the perfect pair of stylish non-slip shoes is as simple as possible.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling Foot Aches and Pains? Here&#8217;s Why<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before you can get to shopping for the right supportive shoes to wear at work, it\u2019s important to take a moment to understand where you may be going wrong with your current pair of rubber outsole shoes and why you\u2019re experiencing sore feet and heel pain. Examining the deficits in your current footwear can help you to find areas where you need specific features so you can avoid the same issues. Below are a few of the common reasons why your current tennis shoe options may not be providing you the support and comfort you need and instead are leaving you feeling residual aches and pains.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>You\u2019re wearing comfortable shoes that don\u2019t fit your feet properly.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You may be thinking, \u201cI\u2019ve had the same tennis shoe size since I was a teenager! I know my running shoe size.\u201d Many people don\u2019t realize that their running shoe size can change over time due to aging which causes some ligaments and tendons in feet to loosen, life changes such as pregnancy, and weight fluctuation. There are also a number of different medical conditions that can affect your work shoe size, such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. If your best walking shoes are feeling uncomfortable, it could be because they are the wrong size or you have a wide foot. We recommend getting your feet measured at least once a year to make sure they are fitting correctly to be a good shoe option.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your shoes aren\u2019t supporting your arches.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When it comes to arches, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. All of us have unique arches that fall into three distinct categories of arch heights: low arches (flat feet), medium arches, or high arches. Depending on your arch height, your foot will be more prone to developing certain foot problems and will require unique support. Your arch is essential to all of your movements and it must be adequately supported to do its job correctly. Did you know your arch bears two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand pounds of stress with every single mile you walk? That\u2019s a huge amount of stress to absorb, especially without proper support. When your arches don\u2019t have the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> arch support<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they need, you can develop a variety of different foot problems that can cause<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> foot and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heel pain<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and overall <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discomfort. If you\u2019re spending your time at work on your feet, arch support is a must-have.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>You\u2019re choosing shoes that aren\u2019t designed to last or tailored to your activity<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>.<\/strong> We know it can be tempting to buy the cute, cheap shoes that will compliment your outfit even if they\u2019re lacking in the support department, but this can have lasting ramifications that can jeopardize your mobility and comfort. When you\u2019re choosing shoes for standing all day at work, it\u2019s important that they are tailored to the activity you are doing and have the supportive features your feet need to be truly comfortable. That doesn\u2019t mean you need to sacrifice style, but support should be just as important as finding shoes that will look great with your work outfit. Your feet will thank you later!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know some of the common pitfalls many of us fall into when looking for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/work\/comfortable-shoes-for-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comfortable shoes for work<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we\u2019ll walk you through an easy how-to guide on picking the perfect shoes for standing all day at work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Choose Shoes for Standing All Day<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel like the foot health industry doesn\u2019t consider fashion and the fashion industry turns a blind eye to comfort, you are far from alone. Finding shoes to stand in all day that will give your feet the support and comfort they need, without detracting from your style, can feel like an impossible task. Your feet need supportive features and infrastructure to keep your foot properly aligned with your body and supported with every step. We\u2019re here to help make sure you find the perfect shoes for standing all day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Find a brand that considers both style and essential support of a shoe. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You shouldn\u2019t have to choose between style and support, you can have both! To get everything you\u2019re looking for in one pair of shoes, you\u2019ll need to find a brand that bridges the gap between the foot health industry and the fashion industry. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Narrow your search to the activity and shoe style you need for work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you spend your day running between clients while doing their hair? If so, then you\u2019ll want a comfortable shoe designed to support activity, like a walking shoe or athletic shoe. Do you need heels that will give you an elegant style while still offering support when you\u2019re standing all day? If so, you\u2019ll need to look for high heels that have supportive features and a thicker heel that will enhance your balance and stability throughout the day. A great dress shoe option with all day support is a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/women\/wedges.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wedge heels<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Check for supportive features.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supportive features are going to be a game-changer for your comfort. If you\u2019re standing all day at work, we recommend looking for the below features. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Durability:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Even if you\u2019re only standing at work, it\u2019s still vital to make sure you invest in shoes that will be durable, wear evenly, and last for an extended period of time on those concrete floors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Heel and Arch Support: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what job you are doing, heel and arch support are essential for shoes that you will be standing all day in. Heel and arch support will help improve your balance, relieve foot pain and strain <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plantar fasciitis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and help evenly distribute pressure across your feet. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Sole Cushioning:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re standing in your shoes all day, we know that one of your top concerns will be how comfortable they are. One of the key features for long-lasting comfort is sole cushioning (similar to a foam insole). Think of a cushioned insole or gel cushioning as clouds for your feet and never skip this extra cushioning feature!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Lightweight Construction:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re standing on your feet all day, it\u2019s important that you are decreasing extra pressure on your feet whenever possible..A dress shoe with a lightweight construction and shock absorption will be easier on your feet and will prevent you from having to carry around the excess weight on your feet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>4. Make sure the great shoe fits your style.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once you\u2019ve found a brand that aligns with what you\u2019re looking for, narrowed your search to the activity, and verified you have all the supportive features your feet need, the final step is to make sure you feel comfortable with the style of the shoes and will feel comfortable wearing them for long hours every day on those concrete floors.
