i got a job earlier last month as one of the free sample guys you see at costco, so i'm on my feet for about 6+ hours a day just standing in one spot. they give us mats to stand on too, which i'm trying to use more, but i'm a little flat-footed and they haven't helped as much as i'd like. my ankles are absolutely killing me now that im on my third week of work to where i'm limping a little after a shift, (cus i unconsciously put more weight on my left foot) and i feel like i can only take so much ibuprofen, yknow??

My wife had unbelievable pain in her feet, especially during pregnancy. We tried a lot of things before going to a foot doctor. It's not necessarily the cheapest thing in the world, but they have a lot of neat toys that can analyze your individual foot and create custom insoles. It's an easy investment in your health.
