Whether you’re a teacher, doctor, caterer, nurse or cashier – you deserve the most comfortable and supportive shoes for standing all day. By the end of the day, your feet are a top-of-mind concern, so your shoes can’t be an afterthought! When your feet suffer, other things do, too: It might be your knees, your back, or your mood—not to mention your productivity.

We’re here to say it doesn’t have to be this way. Give your feet the arch support they deserve.

Vionic offers a collection of women’s shoes that can help ease heel pain, back pain and knee pain when standing all day. Whether you are looking for comfortable flight attendant shoes or shoes to wear in the office, Vionic shoes help realign your feet and provide ample arch and heel support because they are designed with built-in technology. When you wear the most comfortable shoes for standing all day, you won’t be waiting for the moment you can take your shoes off at the end of the day. Whether you’re looking for stylish dress shoes suitable for your work environment, or shoes with good arch support for plantar fasciitis, our footwear is the answer you’ve been looking for.

Just a few tips before shopping for your comfortable work shoes:

The key to finding supportive shoes for standing all day is that when it comes to sizing, don’t forget to get your feet measured at the end of the day. That’s when your feet are largest from standing for long periods of time. Also, remember that because you’re on your feet so much, your shoes take a lot of beating, sort of like athletic shoes do.

The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine recommends replacing athletic shoes after 300 to 500 miles or within about six months. Do the same with your comfortable work shoes or rotate them with extra pairs of shoes. That may seem excessive in the short run, but it will really pay off in the long run.

Find your fit from among a variety of styles appropriate for your workplace dress code.

Lightweight and durable with water-resistant leather uppers, the Satima Active Sneaker is a down-to-earth solution for working in a non-office environment—especially if you need the extra security of a rubber outsole for improved traction, durability and shock absorption.

Other great things about this customer favorite? A lightweight EVA biomechanical orthotic footbed supports your feet and helps realign your lower legs. This supportive technology helps reduce over-pronation and the common aches and pains associated with it.
