Promising review: "I'm a nurse with varicose veins, (no pain or swelling from it) but I work 12+ hours a shift and my feet are killing by the time I go home. I have tried different compression socks and these are by far the best... At the end of each shift, I can honestly say I don't have the foot pain like before, and I do have more energy." —Jasmine Nicole

Promising review: "I purchased this for my husband. He is an electrician and is on his feet all day with a tool bag around his waist. He has always complained of back pains.

Promising review: "This massager is a gift from God. Not too long ago I started a job that's a 12-hour shift standing on my feet. I'm flat-footed and on top of that walk heavy on the ball of my foot. Even before half of my work day is done, I'm in excruciating pain and am tempted to just cut off my feet. This massager is simple to use; two settings: massage and massage with heat. This hits all the necessary spots from your toes to the ball of your foot. It gets in deep. It is able to bring my feet back to life. After 30 to 45 minutes of using this, I'm able to walk around with no issues." —Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $44.99.

Promising review: "These shoes are so dang comfortable! I am the worst at wearing heels but I can wear these suckers all day (and I don't sit much at my job)... The heel is thick and short so I don't feel wobbly, but not short like a kitten heel or that awkward height where other people are like "are those heels or flats!?" lol. Can be dressed up or down. The fabric is suede and the thick straps are really comfortable. I will honestly probably get them in every color because they're so practical for any outfit... Plus, they're only like $20. Love!" —Leah

Promising review: "I spend the majority of my day standing and walking around for work and often come home with the works: neck, upper back, foot and back pain. These massage balls are amazing! They have officially replaced my boyfriend in terms of reaching the most painful points of my body after a long work shift. I use them against a wall, which is somewhat harder to keep in place but works really well in measuring pressure. Wish I had gotten these sooner!" —Michelle

Promising review: "When I got this as a gift, I thought 'What's this foam thing gonna do for me?' But after I used it the first time, I used it every day for a month and my back felt so much better. I didn't feel sore when I got out of bed, it helped release tension from being on my feet all day (work as an RN). I also had a tight hip for a while and it hurt to go from sitting to standing." —Amazon Customer
