    Sore Feet

    Walking around all day can be pretty tough on the old feet. So can running I suppose. Standing around all day at work is just as bad. It seems like sore feet are a pretty significant pain for most of us regardless of what we do. Anybody have similar problems? Anybody know any ways to cure this bane to humanity?

    The obvious solution is to replace my feet with cybernetics, but I have not yet found a suitable doctor to perform the replacement.

    When I was working fast food and on my feet for 8+ hours a day my feet hurt like crazy, it doesn't help that I've got flat feet. My main way to reduce the pain was insoles, but working 40+ hours a week, I went through 2-3 pairs a month, if I ever forgot my insoles my feet would hurt to the point I wouldn't be able to walk normally, I had to either walk on my heels or sides of my feet, and along with the foot pain came back pain. With the combined pain I was downing a large bottle of advil a month just to stay standing. But now I no longer work fast food, so my feet thank me.

    I worked at McDonald's for a year, and if you combine the time I spent at jobs, I was a server for a year. I'm flat footed, and like above poster, I had to buy reeeeally expensive insoles from my foot doctor. I developed tendonitis in my right ankle, and it still really bothers me sometimes. Like, all of a sudden my ankle starts hurting like a bitch, and will for unless I take pressure off of it, and I'll limp. I used to have to wrap my ankle everyday before I went to work.

    Also like above, I had to do weird things to take pressure off of my feet--but for me it's my heels that cause me problems, so I have to crouch down on the balls of my feet for minutes at a time to relieve pressure.

    But, I have a physically easy job now, so it's cool.

    My feet are all muscly from walking/running on the balls of my feet all the time. No sore feets here.

    Wear good standing shoes. Find out if you shift your weight to the left or right side and respond accordingly.

    I often get sore feet and joints. The worst is sleeping, waking, and realizing I have to spend the day with a really sore knee.

    I just got back from a concert, so my feet are pretty sore. Worth it though.

    I have to work in steel toed boots, so they aren't the most comfortable things in the world. However, the soreness never really bothers me, so I just ignore it. Usually too busy to notice anyway!

    Last summer I called my mom and cried because I realize I have spider veins on my upper thighs from working so long in a job that requires standing. I was 19, so I got really emotional about how I was/am too young for that.

    I work on my feet in steel toed boots. I don't notice while I'm at work because I'm too busy, but when I get home it feels great to just sit down and rest them for a bit.

    Just took a semi-lengthy walk! Feet are sore, but the exercise felt great!
