I used to use them when I stood behind a styling chair for years but also wore good shoes. I notice they have small ones at the cutting tables at JoAnn's but you can trip on the small ones. If you get one get one as big as you can. I don't have one but I have a heck of a good pair of support shoes. I just slip them on and no worries about tripping. If you're going to spend hours at the cutting table I suggest your best most comfortable shoe.
