Does your back hurt standing on front deck all day

[onemorecast56]

I think I got the proplem of hurt backs and knees I`m going to try out solved. I was a caroet installer for 30yrs and 2 knees surgerys later I retired from that. My knees and back hurts when standing on concrete for a hour or so. I can`t stand and fish like most of you all for long till my back gets to hurting. I use a peice of 8lb 1/2 in rug pad in front of my work bench and it keeps my back from hurting. Well I got to thinking about how you all stand all day and had a idea to fix that. I`ve got a solid rubber pad that will NOT soak with water at all, thats 3/16th. I`ve asked some of the guys from my KY/OH/IN bass club on here to test it for me. I`ll replace the front deck carpet for them. I`ll remove the old, put this pad down and glue new carpet back on top all for free. If they don`t like it I`ll take it back up and put a new carpet back all for free. So they have nothing to lose, plus get a new front deck carpet,,,so it`s a win-win chance. I`ve think some of the boat companys are trying it out now too. I think Skeeter is doing it. But I`ll let ya know how it does.

What do you guys think of using a piece of that white packing foam that comes on a roll? The stuff seems pretty water resistant and holds up pretty good to being compressed. I put a piece under a piece of carpet on the garage floor and the difference is night and day. At only about 1-2/16 thick, I wonder if it would work?

I actually bought a pair of boat shoes 1 size too large (tough to find in a size 16 ), and put 2 sets of dr scholls inserts in them. It works great.
