Working on cement floors have been killing my knees the last couple years. Been trying dif insoles and shoes but can’t seem to find one that lasts. (Also floor mats SUCK, they’re a terrible trip hazard and they mess with casters).
What kind of shoes, insoles, or floor mats do you use?
Do you sit while you work? How’s your knees and lower back?

I wear Clarks. They make everything from non-slip beater shoes suitable in a lab (or restaurant) to dress shoes with heavy soles you can walk in all day.
I have more stress on my lower back from throwing kegs than from being on my feet all day.

Lab Crocs for life.
(I kinda hate them though.)

Timberland pro boots. I am on my feet all day in a shop. Went through a few brands and these won me over. Quality socks are almost as important as the quality footwear.

Clarks, Tom’s, Ecco, sperry and red wing have all been great in commercial settings.

Vans for like the last almost 30 years. When it snows I’ve got Bates Paratrooper boots. Super warm. The lady uses the gel insoles from Dr.Scholls because she works as an idiot wrangler and is on her feet all day long - BE SURE TO ONLY GET THE DR.SCHOLLS KIND, THE OTHERS ARE GARBAGE

I have had back issues a lot of my life, I guess come to find out I’m flat footed so I got custom orthopedic insoles, I think they were about 200$ but I’ve been in much shape ever since I got some.

ASICS all the way. Best shoe to run in by far. Also, if you buy two pairs and alternate, your shoes last way longer and offer more support!
