I've been working at Wal-Mart for about 3 weeks now.
I figured my body would get used to the hours I spend on my feet but no such luck. My shoulders and back also hurt a lot due to some of the lifting I have to do and all the reaching I have to do in order to scan products.
Does anyone recommend a certain brand of shoes that are good for standing for long hours?
I'm willing to spend no more than $80.
Dr Scholls has some good shoes for standing, they're like nurses shoes, in fact I think they have them at Walmart. I use them, some have high arches, and also come in wide sizes. Work for me. Good for hard flat surfaces, lots of concrete.

Swim, work out, do sit-ups to build your back muscles.
Learn how to lift...There are safety videos on U-Tube.
I worked at UPS,,,filling Trucks...my body was in pain 2 weeks after I quit that job, and I am an ex-ballet/modern dancer... ....some jobs are just hard on the body...!
Chef shoes also work well for comfort, but not if you have weak ankles.
If you can find them, 50 Peaks hiking boots. The only pair of shoes/boots that let me stand and run around for 8 to 12 hours without making my feet hurt.
