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

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)

It helps massively to stretch your legs, even though it’s the bottom of your feet that hurt. I can’t exactly remember which ones helped for me but try bending your leg back and touch your bum with your foot, hold it with a hand and stretch the muscle as far as you comfortably can and hold it.

When doing bar work I could often suffer from from the bottom of my feet being really sore, stretching leg thighs/calves really helped.
