Is this mat good for standing for half or more of an 8 to 10 hour work day?

Yes but have to be conscious as with all standing stations to use good posture. Love this may and I love the red color!

The mat is firm and the material is fairly sturdy. It should hold up for heels but it does have give to it which might cause your shoe to sink in and trip you up if you aren't careful when moving. It does show the outline of my bare feet after I've been standing on it for awhile. Tips from heels would sink in further. Didn't notice if there was a warning label on the mat re heels. Maybe an email to the manufacturer? Good luck!

Absolutely! It gives enough cushioning unlike the ridiculously thin Yoga mats, yet it allows you to do standing poses. Another plus is it's good for folks like my husband who has very long legs. This is the Best mat I've ever had.

Yes, you should have plenty of space, I am able to stay on an exercise mat I've laid on floor when I do the 10 minute trainer.

I think it could be used for any exercise equipment. You may just not need something so long. Guess it depends on that. I still highly recommend this mat.

it grips as well as any mat I've used. if you're going to be sweating a lot, you might want to invest in grippy socks and/or gloves.

Absolutely. It's probably the best mats you can buy short of true gymnastic mats. I've used them for years in both a small membership gym and one of my personal training studios.

We use this mat to stand on and walk on. It has held it's shape under heavy use in this capacity for several months. We do not put objects on it so do not know if it will hold up under the weight.

It depends on what you are doing. I have 2 mats side by side and do tons of lateral cardio movements (jumping, sprints, etc) between the two. Over the course of an hour the mats will slip maybe a total of 1" with heavy use. If I am just lifting weights there is no slippage.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.

Yes it is good for any exercises. The mat is very thick . I am thin and bony and thinner mats were uncomfortable to use. It is also quite long to accommodate a tall person

I would not recommend for 8 hrs a day use. They are comfortable but on a leisurely basis. We currently use them for additional office furniture for guests. Sturdy comfy I would recommend them.

It all depends on how long you have to stand on your feet. I personally have stood five and a half hours on my feet and they would feel okay.

This mat is thick enough to be used without slippage or damage to the tile floor, in my opinion. Kon

Yes, I am an Actor and part time Waitstaff. I do a lot of standing. I use this device often and it does help with the very painful plantar fasciitis. You should also be stretching the arch of your feet before you get out of bed in the morning. I use a beach towel. I put the towel under my feet and stretch each foot for six minutes.

Yes, both my husband and I use their mats. I've slept on them, sat on them (the desk job does not do wonders for circulation, but the mat helps improve that), and stood on them. I feel great afterward, and anytime I notice I'm extra tense, I take a 20 minute time-out to rest on it. So in short, helps with circulation, helps with stress/tension, and has also granted a more restful sleep!
