Which is the optimum shoe to wear for heel pain for a person who is on their feet all day?

Running shoe: The best shoe wear for you is a good anti pronation running shoe for the superior arch support. The lack thereof is usually the reason for most cases of foot stress and pain.

Stability shoe: As a rule, a stiffer, thicker soled shoe with a good support is usually best. The less the shoe flexes, the less the foot flexes. Adding an extra arch support can do wonders. I would recommend seeing your foot doctor for an evaluation. The can be other options that can improve your symptoms. Dr l.
