Members enthusiastically recommended shoe brands that have helped them manage foot pain from standing all day in retail, with the most popular suggestions being Sketchers (praised by multiple retail workers as life-changing), New Balance 600 series, Dansko clogs, Vionic, FitFlop, Crocs, and Rockport. Several members emphasized the importance of investing in quality footwear rather than going cheap, with one suggesting specialty shoe stores that focus on foot issues for personalized fitting. Practical home remedies were also shared, including drinking apple cider vinegar daily for swelling and massaging aloe gel into feet at night to cool them down and reduce pain.

Don't go cheap on the shoes as that can add to your foot pain. I would find a shoe store that deals with shoes for people with foot issues. Not sure how you would find that but maybe ask around where you live or ck the yellow pages.

Put some aloe gel you would use for sunburn and massage into feet. Cools them down and takes away some pain!
