The Best Shoes for Standing All Day

We’ve all been there. You’re standing up all day for work and, over time, your shoes start to feel uncomfortable. It’s not a great feeling, especially when you’ve got another four hours of your shift to go! So how can you choose a pair of shoes that are both stylish and comfortable, to ensure your feet feel fabulous – even on a super-long shift?

Here, we’ll explore some of the best comfortable work shoes for standing all day, to keep your feet happy at work.

The Trainers

If you work in a more relaxed setting, trainers are a great choice for adding some cool casual style to your work wardrobe. However, while trainers tend to be comfier that a pair of heels, there are still precautions you can take to ensure you’re choosing the right pair for your feet.

When selecting a pair of trainers, it’s important to keep in mind the breathability of the shoe. Are they made from a lightweight material that will ventilate your feet? No-one wants to take off their trainers after a long shift, only to be stopped in their tracks by the smell of sweat.

The Loafers

Made to slide on-and-off with ease, a comfortable pair of loafers is a good choice for both comfort and style. Plus, they’re flat and smart, so are a fabulous alternative to heeled work shoes, without sacrificing professionalism. So you can nail that important presentation, and not be thinking about how much your feet hurt!

The Courts

Court shoes don’t have to be sky-high. In fact, here at bonprix, we have a wide selection of block-heeled courts, which are comfortable enough to wear all day. The trick to buying the perfect pair of courts is to find ones that actually fit. Avoid buying anything that slips off your feet, even if it’s only slightly.

Remember, while court shows can occasionally get less comfortable if you wear them for hours, if they hurt when you first buy them they will only get worse. So purchase a pair that are comfortable from first fit and you can’t go wrong!

Tips for finding the most comfortable shoes for standing all day

• Know your size. When buying shoes online, it’s important to know your size, and preferably the dimensions of your feet. If you’re unsure of which size to go for, consider purchasing two pairs to try on at home, and return the pair that don’t fit.
• When you do try them on at home, walk around a bit. To really know how comfortable a pair of shoes is, it’s important to have a walk around rather than just looking at them on your feet. Try walking on different surfaces (just not outside) and go up and downstairs.
