Why does it feel more tiring to stand on the spot for prolonged time than walking around for the same amount of time?

I work retail. Sometimes my job is to stand on a post for a few hours. Sometimes, I gotta walk around the store for hours. And my feet hurts more when I’m standing on one spot than when I’m walking around.

Same reason as sitting still in the same position for too long will eventually hurt. Your organic body isn’t meant to be a statue. So if any part of your body has to maintain a certain position, or in this case if your feet have to constantly support your body weight without even lifting them to walk, they simply get worn out from the pressure.
