I am looking for suggestions for work shoes for standing and walking on concrete for 9-hour days.
I changed careers back in March and went from being a commercial truck driver after over 30 years to being an instructor at a national truck driver training school. Needless to say, going from mostly sitting behind the wheel to standing on concrete and walking next to trucks has been a challenge at my age. But I was already healthy and have lost almost 30 pounds in the past 6 months, so I am a lot lighter on my feet than I have been in a long time.
I have a pair of Wolverine Durashock boots but they get hot here in Savannah and a pair of New Balance shoes which are cooler and lighter but made for running, not standing.
Any suggestions for something lighter than the boots but more comfortable than the running shoes? I have a $200 footwear allotment, but it can only be used on the Lehigh Safety Shoes website.
I thank you, and my feet thank you.
