If I don’t do something soon about the kind of shoes I wear at work, I think I’ll wind up with permanent foot problems. It hasn’t been that long since I bought shoes for work, but already the insoles are breaking down, which means less cushioning for my feet. When you work in the restaurant business, you’re on your feet all the time, except for break time, and it takes its toll on you in your joints, feet, and legs.

Looks like I’m going to be doing some shoe shopping yet again. I may have to go with a completely different brand than I’ve been buying, like Ecco shoes. Maybe changing shoe brands will help. I know it helps to have more than one pair of work shoes, and change them every few days so you change the pressure points. But it also could be that the brand and how it’s structured could save my feet!
