Any of you stand for more than 8 hours or around 8 hours a day for work?

I do.

I hear there are support pants or braces or socks or whatever you'd like to call it that help out with circulation?

Does anyone here know what I'm talking about and do you wear something like that? If you do, how much of an effect does it have on you?

I think you're talking about compression stockings. Basically spandex socks that help keep blood from pooling.

When I worked in the pharmacy I would often be on my feet for 50-60 hours per week ... (thanks to overtime) ... Never wore any weird socks or supports, and I didn't know anybody in the pharmacy that did.

I am teacher 9-11yrs old, most of the day standing, cant say I have ever had a problem, but then I tend to be moving constantly which probably helps
