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)

I work about 10 hour days and stand the entire time. In the beginning I made a lot of adjustments to footwear which absolutely did play a factor, but the best recommendationmodification I received was to purchase an anti fatigue mat. You can get them on Amazon for about $20, so maybe your manager can make that accommodation for you. In the beginning, for about 2 or 3 days, my feet hurt more, but after that I haven’t had a single day of foot discomfort. I can’t recommend this enough. As far as weight goes, if you don’t plan on losing any then you can help yourself by strengthening your legs. Everything from the lower back down to your anklefoot.
