Am I wearing the wrong shoes for my waitressing job?

Asked 4 years ago

I recently started working as a waitress, and oh boy are my feet, ankles, and even shins suffering! I'm wondering if it's couldn't be because I'm wearing the wrong shoes. I'm wearing my old running shoes from school. Should I be wearing something different? Should I maybe use insoles? I'm trying to find a cost-effective solution.

Several factors count when choosing the most appropriate shoe. You can start by making sure your shoe is breathable, fits properly, and adequately supports your feet. Also, you want to check the wear pattern. If all these are in order, an insole may be necessary to increase cushioning and support.
