Courtesy Show After standing or walking all day, you may be used to your feet being sore—especially if it's your job to be on your feet for many hours. But, I have news—according to experts, foot pain isn't actually something you should accept or have to live with. “Foot pain should never be the norm,” says Dr. Ryan Minara, DPM, chief of podiatric medicine and surgery at Mount Sinai. “The foot and ankle are made of dozens of bones, joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles that work in concert, so it’s important to find shoes that are comfortable so your feet stay healthy.” But, the problem may not just be your shoes. It's actually very possible that you're getting the wrong shoe size. It's important for everyone to buy their right shoe size, but it's especially important for those of you who are standing on your feet all day, “Our feet lengthen and widen over time, and most of us don’t measure them on a regular basis to catch these changes,” says podiatrist Dr. Fay Woolmer, DPM.
Once you're sure you've got the right shoe size, it’s time to shop. To find the most comfortable shoes you can comfortably wear all day long, I asked podiatrists, healthcare workers, chefs, hair stylists, and more which shoes they swear by for comfy feet after a long, hard day on their feet.

Are walking shoes good for standing all day?It's important to support all areas of your foot including your ankle for maximum comfort—especially if you'll be standing on hard surfaces.
