Orthotics: Custom orthotics made to your feet and for the type of shoes that you work in would help. Orthotics would help your feet function better, reduce and slow down the pain that you are experinceing. Comperssion stockings can also be helpful for people who are on their feet all day.

Orthotics: Check and see if you have flatfeet. Standing on flatfeet for long periods of time can cause the symptoms you have. If you do try an over the counter arch support like spenco. If you have a hard time adapting to them you may require a custom device which a podiatrist would be able to help you with.
