• My first week at retail pharmacy….DONE.  Five more to go.

  And after having to stand about 10 hours a day STRAIGHT (with the
  exception of my 20 min lunch break)….i have figured out the secret to
  non-sore feet.  (And by straight, it’s literally NO
  SITTING….because….there are NO CHAIRS).   It SUCKS having
  to stand…my first day, i wore ballet flats, thinking that would be
  okay.  BIG MISTAKE…..i could barely walk home because my heels
  felt totally bruised.  Then i started wearing my ugly clogs (the
  ones i posted about a couple of months ago…that were super padded on
  the bottom).  And my feet STILL hurt.

  So i went and got the REALLY ugly clogs….the ones that physicians
  wear in the hospitals.  And it WORKED.  IT’s weird because
  the sole isn’t really cushioned AT ALL….so i totally didn’t think it
  was going to work.  i guess with the super cushioned, your weight
  still falls mostly on the balls of your feet and your heels.  But
  with the REALLY ugly clogs, the soles are hard…but they’re coutoured
  to follow the curves on the bottom of your feet…so the pressure of
  your body weight is distributed throughout your enitre foot…not just
  the two areas.  So no heel pain!

  So i wear the REALLY ugly clogs…..along with some pretty nasty
  looking knee high compression stockings.   How’s that for
  some stylin’ footwear?!
