Samilia Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I work retail, I'm on my feet all day on concrete floors. Do you guys know of any good affordable brand of shoes I could wear? Also, I have plantar fasciitis, of course it does not help my problem at all. All the good shoes are 300 bucks.. (I am in the US).. a bit much for my budget. Tonight my feet are killing me ugh.....

Enema Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Pretty vague description of what you want. Are you female? Do you want business casual? Sporty? I'd recommend a "barefoot" inspired shoe as our feet evolved quite well on their own to support us all day on hard / rough surfaces. The last thing they need is extra support or cushioning, this is harmful. You could try this brand, they have some casual shoes you might like: VIVOBAREFOOT Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Good insoles help for a much lower price than good shoes. Also, in a pinch, mid-range sneakers with good arch support and soles are decent for <$100, I can walk around all day in them. Still, nothing beats good shoes in the end, so if you feel it's a worthwhile long-term investment then you should get some. To get your money's worth, get an orthopaedic's or podiatrist's advice on what brands/types to buy for your individual problems. Expect to spend upwards of $300 for that.

threebyfate Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Consider orthotics. Just found a Rhode Island Dr. Scholls custom footmapping machine locator for you. They're around $50. Store Locator | Dr Scholl's® Custom Fit® Orthotics Link to post Share on other sites
Author Samilia Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 My coworker told me about those inserts, I should give it a go. Concrete floors are a killer for the feet. I can't wear soft sole shoes because of the plantar fasciitis, it's a pain, I have to go see my doctor again. Can't wear flat shoes either I will give it a try when it's healed again. I think I'll just put more money, I'm just worried about spending that much and not feeling a big difference. It's not that I wear cheap shoes, I stay out of the walmart type of stores, I just never have experience the top of the line. Link to post Share on other sites
