Shoes?

I play in the APA (5 skill level, 8 bal), and the matches can sometimes last 90 minutes or so. I notice that towards the end my feet start aching. Does anyone have any recommendations on what type of shoes to wear when shooting pool?

Agreed. 90 minutes is the worse case scenario. There are some players in our league that are notoriously slow. I believe that I play at an average pace...

Thanks for the recommendations. I am going to try some different kinds of shoes to see what works best...
 
I wear shoes with a firm base or sole. I buy all my shoes from Red Wing. They carry casual type shoes along with work shoes.

You need shoes that will support your feet while standing on hard surfaces like concrete. Atheletic shoes are made for a specific type of activity and good for dynamic or constant movement and not really made for standing. The small amount of walking during pool doesn't require a walking type shoe. You need to look at shoes that made for professions or people that stand a lot.

Look at shoes, try many on and don't get hung up on the style. Buy a shoe that feels good when you put it on. Don't buy a pair that your feet have to break in or that you will need to get use to. It may take some time but you will find one that is right.

A few years back when my job changed to where I spent a lot more time on my feet and on concrete floors, a friend suggested I look into Rockport shoes. They make walking and hiking shoes. I got a pair and they helped a lot.
