Proper Footwear for People Who Work Standing Up

From http://www.apma.org/:

The average American’s foot pain often gets in the way of daily activities. Perhaps no group suffers from chronic foot pain more than those who are constantly on their feet. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association's (APMA) 2009 foot ailments survey, 44 percent of respondents said they spend at least four hours standing every day. Additionally, nearly 78 percent of Americans have experienced foot problems as a result of wearing uncomfortable or ill-fitting shoes.

"The excess strain put on the legs and feet of those standing for long periods of time can take a massive toll on the body—especially for those working in the health care community," said APMA President Ronald Jensen, DPM. "Without the proper footwear that provides necessary support to the ligaments and joints of the feet, these individuals are subject to a host of ailments that can lead to chronic problems such as metatarsalgia—a pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot.”

Excessive standing and walking on hard surfaces like concrete can also increase the incidence of foot problems. However, many footwear companies create products that are specifically made for those who “work standing up.” The following footwear products, designed specifically for those who make a living on their feet, have been granted APMA’s Seal of Acceptance. The Seal of Acceptance Program recognizes products which have been found beneficial to foot health and of significant value when used in a consistently applied program of daily foot care and regular professional treatment:

Shoe of the Month: Loafers

Just right for pounding the pavement or relaxing with friends. The perfect loafer should not be too flexible nor too stiff. The shoe should bend at the ball of the foot, but shouldn’t fold in half. Leather shoes should be soft and supple. Also, look for a shoe with a toe box that is both round and deep with a firm heel counter. Brands of shoes to look for that have sturdy, substantial loafers are Rockport, Clark, Dansko, Aetrex, and Dr. Comfort.
