Question: Need new shoes....

fatkidkustomz · 08-10-2011, 12:47 AM

So I stand for a living. On a hard concrete floor. Roughly 11-12 hours a day. Got a pair of New Balance about 3 months ago and they're already about worn out, and my left ankle has been bothering me for a week or so now. Maybe because I blew out my left knee years ago and I compensate a little with it but never this bad.

So help me out. I know I can't be the only one who stands all day. I'm working real hard on the weight thing so that will help, but until then, I need good shoes.

Oh, and just to make it tough.... size 13 EEEE.

Try shoes for crews

They make work shoes for people who stand all day like restaurant workers and such.

fatkidkustomz · 08-10-2011, 01:48 AM

I've worn DCs.... I love them for going out, but they KILL my feet after wearing them for so long. I have feet like Donald Duck. Long wide and flat.

And I can wear shorts and tennis shoes to work so I'm taking full advantage of it.

I'm wondering if an insole will help too. Never used them.

shootermcgavin003 · 08-10-2011, 01:50 AM

dcs arent wide enough my feets the same way and anything like ball shoes kill my feet. etnies and es be much wider and feel better

globes are wide too but are shitty for lasting
