If you work standing up, you need to read this

Today you’re going to understand why people abandon a habit or a change before it even starts to work.

You’ll see.

We start doing something new and after three days we already want to see results.

And if we don’t see them, we quit.

We say: “this doesn’t work”.

It happens with training, with diet, with English classes...

And it happens because we’re wired to focus on the immediate.

To evaluate what’s happening now.

Not your progress months from now.

But most important changes don’t make noise at the beginning.

You don’t notice them.

Like a drop falling every day in the same spot.

At first, nothing.
Then a mark.
And one day, a hole.

Exactly the same thing happens with your feet.

A shoe that doesn’t squeeze your toes doesn’t “work magic” on the first day.
It simply stops bothering you.

Footwear without a raised heel doesn’t fix your posture overnight.
It just stops pushing it out of place.

A sole that lets you feel the ground doesn’t make you strong in a week.
But it activates bones and muscles that have been asleep for years.

And that adds up.

That’s why the footwear you use for work matters.

A lot.
More than it seems.

Because they’re not just shoes.
It’s the cumulative effect of hours.
Days.
Years.

This week I commented in the WhatsApp community on a sign from a shoe shop:

“Work footwear. Sale.”

Underneath, the usual.

Thick sole.
Soft.
Stretchy.
59 euros.

I thought about who buys them.
Waiters.
Healthcare workers.
Retail staff.

People who spend eight, ten, twelve hours on their feet.

Twelve hours with the foot immobile.
Squeezed.
Switched off.

When the foot doesn’t move, circulation suffers.
When there’s no mobility, venous return gets no help.
And when the foot doesn’t work, the body wobbles.

Then the usual shows up.

Heavy legs.
A strange kind of fatigue.
Zero desire to walk, train or play paddle.

Not because you don’t want to.
Because you just can’t.

That’s why we launched these clogs.

Not to correct you.
Not to promise miracles.

For something simpler and more powerful:
letting your feet do their job while you do yours.

So they can move while you work.
So you don’t end the day completely drained.

And they cost the same as the ones in the shop window.

Because the difference isn’t in the price.

It’s in how you feel after eight hours of work.
