Event Planners Recommend Comfortable Work Shoes
By Kate Cripe
We all know the pains of long days on one’s feet—it is unavoidable in this this industry.
Whether it’s a full day at the convention center, running around the day before a big event, or a lengthy site visit, leg and foot discomfort seem to come with the territory of the job.
One thing going for us is that style has made its way to the “comfortable shoe” market.
But what pair will really hold up day in and day out? Here are some recommendations from industry peers who have found their go-to kicks that ease the discomfort of a long day.
Joan Eisenstodt of Eisenstodt Assocs., LLC said: “I love my Munros.” She also advised “rolling one’s feet against an ice-cold soda can throughout the day” to help alleviate foot and leg pain.
Heather Reid, founder and chief executive officer for Planner Protect, Inc. recommended: “Finn Comfort shoes. Expensive, but last for years.” Reid also suggests to “put legs straight up on a wall for 15 minutes at the end of the day. It will be uncomfortable but will help tremendously through the night.”
Niesa Silzer, president of Details Convention & Event Management swears by Fluevogs. “Some are weird in design, but there are a number that have big wide toe areas and chunky heels, which make them comfy to walk in all day,” she said. “They also have some great flats.”
