Affordable and easily found models in Brazil help reduce pain and fatigue during long journeys
Spending the entire day standing is a reality for millions of Brazilians — from healthcare professionals to salespeople, teachers and retail workers.
In these cases, shoes make all the difference. According to orthopedists, the ideal is to choose sneakers with good cushioning, support for the arch of the foot and a firm sole, capable of absorbing impact and relieving pressure on the joints.
The good news is that you don’t have to spend a lot. There are several comfortable, affordable and easily found models in Brazil that fulfill this role well. Check out some of the experts’ favorites below.

What to look for before buying
According to orthopedists, the ideal shoe should adjust well to the shape of the foot, without pinching the toes or loosening the heel. Also important:
- Try sneakers at the end of the day, when your feet are more swollen;
- Prefer models with rubber soles and anatomical insole;
- Change your shoes regularly, as the cushioning wears out over time.
Investing in a good pair of sneakers is more than just a matter of comfort — it’s about taking care of your health. With these affordable options, you can face long journeys on your feet with well-being, safety and style.
