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

Having good shoes is very important. The three things you should pay more money for are things that go between you and the ground. Shoes, bed, and car tires. The first two make you more comfortable, the third stops you from sliding into a ditch just because the road is wet.
