What can I put inside my shoes to help with foot pain if I stand 8 hours a day?
Asked 5 years ago
I work in production so I stand for 8 hours. My foot pain starts after 30 mins of it. What are some good shoes or something to put inside my shoes to help me not be in horrible pain? Also, I still don't know why I have horrible foot pain.

Firstly, you could consult with a podiatrist. Secondly, choose comfortable, lightweight, sturdy shoes with sufficient support and cushioning. Finally, and perhaps the most important thing to do if you're on your feet all day is to get custom-made orthotics to insert in your shoes for foot support and to reduce strain on your muscles.
