What is the best shoe, shoe company,or insole out there on the market that can minimize my pain the most? Also, I am willing to pay the extra money for a great pair of shoes AND add additional insoles for more comfort.
What would be the best thing to buy and what stores can I find them at? Any help would be appreciated!
Hmm well i couldn’t tell you any brands but you have to just look at the shoe-look at the sole and the inside, if it supports enough. Also, make sure you’re getting the right size. I know it sounds silly but it’s easy to get one too small.
I would go to DSW or a shoe place and ask an employee there for information on which shoes they recommend, they should be able to help you out.
You need a slip resisitant shoe. Converse was the most confortable,supportive and lightweight. Florshein are very durable. Sketchers were the most stylish. The converse is one on the link but I know are available for less.
I bought a pair of shoes from Shoes for Crews ( they are specializing in shoes for restaurant workers etc). I am a waitress, my mother-in-law is a waitress/bartender and my husband is a cook. Actually 75 % of my coworkers wear those shoes. They have different styles and types of support. Average price is about $ 40 I think. But you can make that in tips just from one table but your feet will feel much better. They are super comfy and have non-slip surface ( which is very important in a restaurant business)
Try them- you will not regret!
Good luck
