Answer
Hi Jan!

I once was an operating room nurse and had to stand in one place sometimes over 9 hours with one bathroom break so I know how tough that can be on the legs/back/feet. Good for you looking to your shoes to help you out.

Personally if I were you I would wear running shoes because they have more cushioning and I would make sure that the arch supports were exceptional.
One more special trick from my O. R. days: when you have to stand for a long time and to avoid back pain concentrate on holding your tummy in. Your abdominal muscles support your back!

Good luck
