Physicians hear this regularly from patients. In fact, research indicates about 75 percent of adults will complain of sore feet at some point. When patients ask why the pain, there are any number of reasons. Tired feet in and of itself is not a medical condition, though it can lead to medical problems. This article focuses the role proper industrial footwear plays in reducing the hurt of tired or fatigued feet.
A major reason why your feet can hurt is the shoes you wear at work all day. Many shoes do not provide the proper support for your feet; insufficient support in the arch of the shoe can lead to a collapsing arch. You should also consider the outer-sole or the bottom of the shoe as this part of the shoe (outer-sole) may not have enough cushion to absorb the force of walking on hard floor surfaces. Of course fit is important, too. Wearing shoes that are too small, too large, too wide or too narrow can contribute to tired feet, foot pain, and body fatigue.
