My longarm is in the basement, on an unfinished cement floor. I have those foam puzzle piece squares down with gel mats on top. Then I wear cushy socks & foam Crocs. Hot pink. I think the color helps.
Many people complain about arm/hand/shoulder pain, but my problem is also my legs. I don't have pain, but I get muscle tightness between my knees & hips. I think I stand stiff legged. I usually take a break about every 45 minutes, or when my bobbin runs out. The Crocs seem to help.

I get leg pain if I go barefoot or wear scuffs. Have to wear sturdy shoes with arch supports. Arch supports can be purchased at any dollar store. I went to a podiatrist and got special ones just for me and my insurance paid for them. But the cheap ones work well too. Hope this helps you

I wore these on cement as I stocked over 2,000 lbs. of stock each week, the last 12 years I worked, in tennis and sandles. Try some on when your feet or legs hurt, you will see the difference.
