Standing for Long Periods of Time

[genomachino]

Are you on carpet or hard floors?

I spend several hours every day walking around the pool table. For the past year or so, my feet have started hurting after a couple of hours, and my legs got really sore and tired. I tried out every pair of shoes I have and bought a few more pair to try out. Still pain and tired legs.

So I quit wearing shoes. After two months now of no shoes, my feet never hurt and my legs no longer get sore or tired. No BS. Hell, I'm 66 years old, so going barefoot is way, way back in the past for me. But I can spend as much time as I want on my feet with no discomfort, no pain, no tired legs.

I would think this would be difficult on cement or hard floors.

I went to a friends house with his no shoes rule. He had nice carpet and it was not bad.

Hard floor maybe not?

I tried the barefoot thing once. A good looking girl walked by the table and asked if someone was cooking onions, so that was the end of that.

I haven't had exactly that problem, but there have been a few times when complete strangers come up to me and say things like, "Can I get a half ounce?" I have no idea what they mean, of course, but it's very strange.

Also seems a 19 year old girlfriend will help you forget about you foot problems!!!

My feet quit hurting, but my game goes to hell!

Besides sitting down and resting a bit, how do you guys typically avoid pain/soreness in the feet and legs from standing for long periods of time? What kind of shoes do you guys wear or what products do you use?

i find that wearing really good running shoes helps a lot. i run a little every other day and walk a few miles a day just because. standing for long periods doesn't bother me anymore
