I have stood on my feet for 35 years as an Operating Room nurse, so I know how you feel. What I find good is to go regularly to have a pedicure, and I wear shoes all the time. In the house I wear open slip-ons with arch supports such as Merrells or Clarkes. I look for them when I am in TJ Maxx or Marshalls, and usually find them for around $25-$30.
