Comfortable shoes for standing all day

It is common that if we mention the word running shoe we think of a type or model of shoe for training and competition. Indeed, this type of shoe is specifically designed to maximize performance and to reduce to some extent the negative effects that the impact against the ground can generate on our foot and other body structures.

However, the current trend has increased the type of use that can be given to a running shoe, from daily outfit complement to option for walking or working looking for maximum comfort for our feet. And it is in this last aspect where it is very interesting to use running shoes.

Jobs where we spend many hours on our feet require cushioned, comfortable shoes with a very pleasant feel. In this way, in addition to generating a feeling of greater well-being, we will be watching over our osteoarticular and muscular health and even favoring our postural hygiene.
