    I work 13 hour shifts sometimes 12 days straight in a hospital. I have to be smart for work, so need nice shoes. Marks and Sparks footglove are the only way to go. They do normal and wide fit. I have 3 pairs which I can wear all day for 13 hours, then go straight out clubbing in afterwards and they still look OK, and my feet are still comfy!

    When I first started in retail, I found that for the first couple of weeks a footspa was invaluble! If you have one or can borrow one it would be great. All the standing was a bit of a shock to the system to me at first, so I'd round off the day with a nice massagey soak :D

    10 years of retail behind me now, I still use it if I've had a hard day ;) followed by Burt's bee's foot cream and little bee motif socks to keep my tootsies in good nick :D
