Keep several pairs of shoes on hand and rotate shoes daily to allow them to air out. For some workers, non-coloured woollen or cotton socks may be recommended since dyes may cause or aggravate skin allergies. Use foot powder. If problems persist, see a doctor. In cases of persisting ingrown toenails, calluses, corns, fungal infection and more serious conditions such as flat feet and arthritis, see a doctor and follow the doctor's advice.
Standing still requires considerable muscular effort.
It does not allow for the alternate contracting and relaxing of muscles of the feet and legs. To keep feet healthy, it is necessary to compensate for working in a stationary position. One action that can be done frequently on the job is alternately to contract and relax the calf muscles, and flex and straighten ankles and knees. Another bit of advice is to walk whenever practical instead of riding. More information on exercise for feet can be obtained from a foot specialist or from a local fitness centre.
