It's my first time here so don't be harsh.
I have a question for you /fit/. Recently I started a new job in which I'm practically standing up or walking for almost 8 hours. Result is that at the end of my shift only thing that i feel from middle of thighs down is severe pain. I know that's some kind of after trainning muscle soreness, so my question is, are there any way to prevent this or at least make it less painfull? Or I just need to clench up my ass, man up and wait for muscle gain some strenght?
Also, what's best way to ease sore muscles the day after? Warm shower? Compresses?

Used to have a job with similar conditions, you will get used to it.
Gel pads inside shoes help. That'll be a good investment.
For day-after sore muscles, before they start being sore, alternate cold-hot shower over the muscles for a bit.

Gel pads is retarded advice.
If you want shoes that will actually help you stand you want the sole of them to fit to your feet like wet sand fits to your feet when you stand on it at the beach.
Because most modern running shoes and other sneakers have shitty soles that are too squishy and don't hold you up well, you have to use more stabilizer muscles to keep yourself upright.
What OP needs is a GOOD (read: not shit tier Walmart brand) pair of work boots. Make sure they're not too tight, or too loose. However, when you try them on in the store they should be "snug" but not squeezing your toes or any of your foot to a point of discomfort. Good brands I like are redwing and wolverine. You're looking at dropping $200 or so on footwear, but because you'll be wearing them every day for 8 or so hours they're well worth the expense. Ask someone at the store for help sizing. Use a brannock.
They will most likely still be pretty uncomfortable to wear for the first week or so. This is because the top of the sole of the boot has to mold to the bottom of your foot. After a week of wearing them and walking around I 100% guarantee you they will become your favorite pair of footwear.
