Best Formal Work Shoes For Lower Back Pain Posted: 01-16-05 12:18pm
I have suffered lower back pain since a
child but have learned to manage it
effectively to mitigate the pain. I have
used black dr martens with my suit for
some time and bought a new pair recently.
However the quality has declined and it
is like walking on concrete when I wear
them causing me sever pain. Luckily I
did not throw away my old pair. I have
always sworn by dr martens but production
has shifted to the middle east recently
and they are simply not the same shoe.
There was no cushioning effect as with my
old pair.
Can anyone recommend a brand of shoes good
for lower back pain? They must be black
and formal enough to wear with a suit.
Thanks

Rockport shoes are typically a very nice
and super comfortable shoe. You can get
them at sears and also various other mall
anchor stores. They are really nice and
very comfy.

When my back pain was just beginning, I
presented seminars all day, most days.
So, I faced the same issue of finding a
dressy shoe that gave me the best
support.
I ended up with rockports. They are not
the best quality but they are the best for
your back. Be careful about getting a
good fit. Their actual sizes seem to
vary within the sise designation.
I believe that insoles are as important or
more important than the shoe. Look for
an insole that has sorbethane in the heel
and toe areas. Your best source is a
runnig store or other specialty shoe
store. Forget about department stores or
chain shoe stores. Their insoles
generally are not substantial. You
almost need to buy the insole first since
it wiill take more room in the shoes than
the stock insole. Of course, you want
to fit the shoe with your new insole in
it.
Good luck.
