How can I avoid pain even though I'm on my feet all day?

Asked 3 years ago

I'm a sous chef, and I'm on my feet for up to 12 hours on some days. At the end of the day, my feet and ankles are extremely painful. Is there a way to avoid pain caused by being on your feet all day? I have to wear specific shoes as part of my uniform, so better shoes aren't an option. Any assistance is appreciated.
