Jenn,

I have a heal spur in my right heal that was very painful when I first started working in retail. I went to a foot doctor and waws diagnosed with Plantar Fasciatus (sp?) and was told to wear walking shoes. I had to go to buy very expensive walking shoes $95. He told me to wear nothing else and wrote a note to that effect to give to my manager. I was also not to walk around barefoot, wear sandals. It worked. I wore those walking sneakers out (wore them for 3 years). I then bought a $39 pair of Dexters and bought adjustable orthotics at Bed, Bath and Beyond. That worked just as well. Believe me, I feel your pain. Working on your feet 8 hours a day can is brutal.
