Arch Supports and Aching Feet

June 5, 2009

Ever notice how hard it is to find comfortable work shoes? Workers who are on their feet most of the day know that a comfortable pair of shoes are almost impossible to find, but why is this? At Walk2Bfit™ we have discovered that most often the problem lies in a person’s feet and the fact that they are not being supported properly. The longer you’re on your feet the more stress there is on your arches. Workers frequently complain of back, knee, or hip pains even though it’s their misaligned feet are actually the cause. Walk2BFit Xtra Steps Arch Supports™ are also recommended for your daily work shoes. Simply move them from your walking shoes into your work shoes. Work and walk comfortably with the support you need. The Secret Is In Your Shoe!™ In 1983, the American Podiatric Medical Association reported that 83 percent of the U.S. industrial work force had foot or lower leg problems resulting in discomfort, pain or orthopedic deformities.An employee’s efficiency level, concentration, willingness to work and attitude greatly decrease when he is experiencing foot pain. This can lead to inattention on the part of employees, and, possibly, injuries.

This page provides information on ergonomics and biomechanics in the work place. Because what you do on your feet may require you to make important decisions that sometimes can mean the difference between life and death, or the bottom line of your company — we’d like to help you keep your mind on your job, not your feet.

Wearing Walk2BFit Xtra Steps Arch Supports™ will help you do that, while improving your overall performance, productivity and morale. It is becoming obvious that the percentage of employees that have foot and lower leg pain is increasing because of the longer standing requirements on cement flooring. Most businesses have replaced wood floors from 50+ years ago with concrete, which is damaging to the lower extremities because it provides minimal resistance and no shock absorbency.
