why is it painful to be on your feet for extended periods of time? Is weight a big factor?

Question

I’ve been working at McDonald’s for almost 9 months now, and any shifts longer than 4 hours, my feet start to hurt.

I am overweight, Last time I checked it was 230lbs. But I have heard of similar complaints from coworkers and people online.

Is it the case of too much of a good thing? (Being active and about)

Answer 1

Well 230 lbs can tell it. I weight around 65-70kg I don’t have that much issue to stand that much and I see many people have shifts around 10-12hr. The math from square of your contact are to ground and cube fo your vol.
