If you work standing up for long periods, you know that fatigue affects more than just your feet. Fatigue can affect your legs, back and can even impact your productivity and well-being throughout the day. Fortunately, there are simple ways to reduce this discomfort and make your routine even easier. In this post we will show you some tips that you can apply in your daily life:
1. Choosing the right shoes
Footwear is one of your greatest allies when it comes to foot comfort. Choose technical models, such as our Working Safe clogs, which offer:
- Lightness – avoids extra weight on your feet and discomfort at the end of the day
- Impact absorption – to minimize the appearance of injuries due to impacts
- Ergonomic support – which maintains correct posture and prevents back pain
2. Stretches and breaks
Working standing for several hours at a time ends up overloading the foot muscles and causing discomfort. To this end, we advise you to:
- Take short breaks to stretch your body
- Change posture to relieve tension points
- Take advantage of breaks to relax and avoid making sudden movements
3. Prioritize the care of your feet
The feet are the foundation of our body and support all of our weight, so it is important to keep them healthy. In order to help you, we leave you some tips:
- Wear compression socks to help blood circulation
- Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated to avoid cracks and dry skin
- Properly clean your shoes and insoles to ensure comfort and freshness throughout the day.
