Good advice, all
But I’m already wearing the Dr Scholls shoes, I’m already standing on foam rubber pads whnever I can get away with it, and when I put a pair of those gel pads in and stood up, they squirted out of my shoes like so much Jell-o and ran screaming away- when last seen they were headed down the ryan at speeds in excess of 75 mph.
I may try the baloney, though. Might just work out OK. Plus, my feet already make their own gravy.

Go with the pillows. One time alfalfa accidentally drank some nitroglycerine, and buckwheat tied pillows to his feet so he wouldn’t blow up. Worked pretty well.
Fire ants. In the underwear. No man alive can worry about his feet with those little bastards gnawing on his balls.
Mmmmm…. Foot gravy…
Randy: NOW you’re talking!!
Dick: Last year, when I sprained my foot, they wrapped and taped it, and i couldn’t bathe it for ten days. At the end of which, the foot was covered with a substance that can only be described as…
… on second thought, I don’t think it CAN be described.
You might want to look into custom-fit shoe-inserts. I got my first set from my chiropractor more than fifteen years ago. They aren’t soft or mushy, last 10-15 years, and make a heck of a difference if you are on your feet all day.
EMDFL: My chiropractor AND podiatrist suggested those to me.
I demonstrated to them that I would crush them flat instantly- they didn’t believe me- so i put a “sample” set on their “measuring” machine and stepped on them- wherupon the inserts immediately assumed paper thickness. If they made them out of cast iron, I might have a chance
You’re either gonna have to go with Summer hunting boots, or some good quality tennis shoes.
I have some hard rubber arch supports that seem to be helping some.
Mine are made out of leather and you couldn’t squash them with a hammer strike. OTOH, the “mold” for them is a simple piece of semi-hard foam that you step on to leave an imprint of the foot. THAT you would probably flatten like the proverbial pancake…
No, this was the real deal, just meant for someone else. Leather would last about a minute for me.
