Are your feet sore by the end of the day? Do you wish you had more energy in the evening? When you are a delivery truck driver, you log some serious miles, every day. Your feet need strong support to feel good. In this post, we'll discuss what to look for in the best shoes for delivery drivers and truckers. We'll also discuss other great options for caring for your feet, like work boot insoles.
Being on your feet for hours can create serious discomfort. Good shoes make a big difference. When choosing footwear for work, keep these things in mind:
Taking care of your feet is a high priority. Beyond what to look for in the best shoes for truckers and delivery drivers, here are a few tips to help keep your feet as comfortable as possible:
Great Socks – Throw your cotton socks out. Nylon too. Try the new soft wool brands out there, no matter the season. Wool manages moisture better than cotton, and it doesn’t stink. Get a thicker wool in the winter. In the summer, get a lighter version. We recommend Smartwool, Thorlo, or Darn Tough. When the temp soars, some prefer polyester for its wicking ability. Believe it or not, Target has some great cushioned polyester socks for cheap.
Rotate Your Shoes – Your footwear will last longer and your feet will be happier if you don’t wear the same pair of shoes every day. If you have an absolute favorite style, get two pairs. Alternating between the two will give you more days than one pair at a time.
Understand Support – All-day comfort comes from well-designed support. We did not evolve to walk on asphalt and concrete. The hard, flat surfaces of our world are recent in our evolution. Putting arch support in your footwear prevents sore feet at the end of the day. High quality insoles are not cheap. Put your money where it benefits you. What is your comfort worth?
Even the best boots for truck drivers sometimes need extra support. Finding the best work boot insoles for your needs means having correct fit, proper support, and durability. Tread Labs insoles are perfect for delivery personnel. Unlike drugstore foot beds, they support your arches for long-term comfort. Our insoles are the best choice for people who put serious miles in as part of the regular workday. Here is how they differ from the competition:

Hi Sheila,
Thanks for taking an interest in Tread Labs.
There are many options to choose from when deciding on the best work shoe or boot. Several factors to consider are the conditions you’ll be working in. If weather is going to play a role in you day to day, then you may want to choose a boot such as a Keen, or Under Armour boot. These boots are rugged and will last quite a long time, while providing good comfort.
For more of a shoe, you may want to take a look at Rockport’s line of women’s work shoes. They offer lots of different styles to choose from.
Give us a shout if we can assist in any way.
Cheers,
Dan
