Foot problems = job where you stand
Back problems= job where you sit
Sounds like communism to me. Here in the Free World we CHOOSE to sit at a desk for 40 hours a week!
I will say to any comrade who is on their feet alot at work. Try getting some pretty ok boots. Red wings are good cheaper options. My feet feel ten times better with a thick boot to walk in. And when your done with that behead the bourgoise who exploit your labor power
I ruined my feet by wearing work boots that were too thin and then standing on marble floor for 8-12 hours straight.
Have to wear $450 orthotics to not be in constant excruciating pain now
Me too except the orthotics are for my back and they hurt my feet 😭
I had some bad plantar fasciitis some years ago and it really opened my eyes to how expensive it is to care for your feet. Not only will we behead the rich, we'll take their unspoiled appendages.
Doctor Scholl's is one of the companies that drops the pretense that we're not in a cyberpunk setting and starts selling and installing cyborg feet.
I’m on my feet a lot for work but I’m not moving huge pallets of product or working in an active construction site; I’m mainly meeting end users for in person tech support. What kind of foot rescuing shoes exist for when work boots aren’t appropriate?
Depends on what you need for your feet. If you need a ton of arch support, certain running shoes like Stability or Guidance Saucony, Brooks, ASICS, or even New Balance could work. Otherwise, you might have luck with superfeet or spenco inserts.
If you don't need a lot of arch support, neutral running shoes could work. Certain work shoes do come in low cut and soft toe versions, that look more like casual shoes. Something like a Timberland Pro Titan low sodt toe,might work, or maybe a Merrel jungle moc, or a keen hiker. If you need akl black dress shoes, perhaps a slip resistant 608 new balance. All leather.
I think I need arch support. Thanks for the recommendations!
I like Hoka's and Merrels, myself. I'm flat footed, so I may have some biases.
This post really calls to me. I'm a runner and I've rarely had jobs that allow me to sit. There's points where I've had to give up running because I had to chose what set of shoes I needed more. Edit: cause good shoes are pricey if you rolled poorly on your bones in the genetic lottery.
