The Hidden Costs of Long Shifts Without Proper Footwear

From healthcare professionals to retail employees, many people spend the majority of their day on their feet. At STAND+ we recognize that working long hours without supportive and comfortable footwear can lead to a host of physical problems. That's why we developed our shoes––to provide support for those who support others. Here are 3 reasons why that matters:

1. Fatigue and Reduced Energy Levels
When your feet aren't adequately supported, your body expends more energy to maintain balance and stability. This additional effort can lead to increased fatigue, making it harder to stay alert and productive throughout the day.

2. Foot Pain and Plantar Fasciitis
Extended periods of standing and walking can cause significant stress on the feet, leading to conditions like plantar fasciitis. This painful inflammation of the plantar fascia, the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes, can severely impact mobility and comfort.

3. Joint and Back Problems
Improper footwear can lead to poor posture and alignment, which puts extra strain on joints and the lower back. Over time, this can result in chronic pain and conditions such as arthritis or degenerative disc disease.

At STAND+, we believe that no one should have to sacrifice their health or comfort for their job. Our shoes are designed specifically for those who work long hours on their feet, offering:

- Slip-Resistance: Essential for safety in fast-paced, high-risk environments.
- Energy Dispersion: To reduce the strain on joints and muscles.
- Cloudlike Comfort: Ensuring that every step feels cushioned and supported.
- Easy-to-Clean and Antimicrobial Materials: Promoting hygiene and durability.
- Machine Washable: For ultimate convenience and longevity.

Our mission is to provide footwear that supports your body and enhances your work life, allowing you to focus on what you do best without the distraction of pain or discomfort. Investing in good footwear is not just about comfort—it's about protecting your health, improving your productivity, and ensuring long-term well-being. At STAND+, we’re dedicated to making that investment worthwhile.
