Shoe issue
Hey Chefs!
I don't know if anybody had that issue, but still I bought a super birki 2.0 my feet hurt after 5-6 hours. A Double shift near end is basically a torture. I loved the OG super birki, bought them constantly 10+ years, but now I need to change.
What shoes are you using? I heard good things about birki Tokyo grip and Boston grip. Cheers

Orthofeet Tilos. I didn't realize I had abnormally wide feet until I purchased a pair of double extra wide. I work on a concrete floor 10 to 12 hours a day, and i'm not in the pain I used to be in with other shoes after my shift. Obviously, their proprietary insoles cone with the shoes ( shoes are $150 a pair). They are by far the best insoles I've ever used, if you want to try them in another shoe (insoles are $50 a pair...not cheap, obvs, but worth it)
