You need a good shoe with "cushion" soles,and perhaps some inner soles,to cushion the concrete effect. ....If your work station is in one location git yourself a rubber mat to stand on.....George

Soak your feet in warm water with epsom salts. Then dry them and apply a nice lotion with peppermint or tea tree oil. Then put your feet up and rest for eight to twelve hours. After you are all rested get some support hose or socks for your feet and legs, and buy a couple pair of comfortable working shoes. At least two pair so your shoes can rest you need to rotate shoes. Nikes and other athletic shoes are not usually the best for working long hours. Take care and happy feet.

Perhaps you aren't wearing form fitting shoes? But most likely it's just because anyone's feet would hurt after 12 hours on concrete. Eventually you'll develop calluses and then they shouldn't hurt as much. Have you tried soaking them in warm water every night? Not much else I can tell you; hope it gets better for you.

It's the shoes that will make a difference, and cheap shoes won't do it.
I have good luck with Wolverine Durashocks. However I find it takes over a month before the uppers get broken in and tend to pinch during this time, but I get atl east two years out of them and it's the soles that make all the difference.

Well good shoes are a good start, Red Wing makes some shoes excellent for working on concrete. Add some insoles and you will likely feel much better.

Buy a lighter workboot where the sole flexes. Don't buy a heavy boot with stiff soles, it will end up hurting your knees.
