If you work in healthcare, you’re probably no stranger to sore feet, aching legs, and even back pain after a long shift. Being on your feet all day takes a toll—both physically and mentally. The good news? There are simple, effective ways to prevent foot pain, keep you comfortable, and help you stay focused on your patients—not your discomfort.
Here are our top tips (and some insider secrets from the Snogs team!) for preventing foot pain during those long days on the move:
Choose Shoes Designed for Your Demands
Your footwear matters—a lot. Shoes designed specifically for healthcare workers can make all the difference. At Snogs, our Recovery Shoe was created by a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who understands precisely what healthcare professionals need:
- Real arch support: Our industrial-grade midsoles help maintain healthy alignment and reduce strain on your feet and joints, even after hours of standing or walking.
- Wide toe box: This design allows your toes to breathe and move naturally, reducing the risk of blisters, bunions, and fatigue.
- Slip-resistant outsoles: Hospital floors can be unpredictable. Our advanced grip keeps you steady, safe, and confident during every shift.
- Water-resistant flyknit protects your feet from spills and splashes without trapping sweat, keeping them dry and comfortable.
- Laceless, slip-on design: When you finally clock out, you want relief instantly—no wrestling with shoelaces.

-Rotate Your Footwear: Alternating between two quality pairs of shoes gives each pair time to decompress, helping maintain their support and prolonging their life. It’s a small investment that can pay off big in comfort. With the discount code SAVE15, you can save 15% on our white and black colorways.
-Wear Compression Socks: Compression socks aren’t just a trend—they help promote circulation, reduce swelling, and keep your legs feeling fresher through even the most extended shifts. Pair them with supportive sneakers for the best results.
-Prioritize Stretch Breaks: During your shift, taking even a few minutes to stretch your feet, ankles, and calves can relieve tension and prevent pain. Try ankle rolls, toe spreads, and calf stretches—your feet will thank you.
-Recover After Your Shift: When you get home, take a few minutes for self-care. Soak your feet in warm water, use a tennis ball or foot roller to massage sore spots, and consider icing if you have swelling.
Healthcare professionals deserve comfort and work as hard as they do.
