i found many years ago while demonstrating that if i put my feet up on a flat brick, that little bit saved not only my feet but my lower back too. it is tense work sharing our lovelies. because of the weight, i didn't want to carry 2 bricks with me so i got styrofoam and used that. you can cover the pieces (one for each foot - or one longer one) but the damp from the ground makes it look tacky. one old timer saw this and made little foot stools for each of us demonstrating and while a bit heavier, blends great with our costumes of being pioneer women/men.
i am sure you can look around and find something to help ease your later aches. i never feel the pain until afterwards because it is too much fun. now i don't have to be concerned and with my tripod table, piano stool with a full back, my tote with my pillow and supplies (including my little stool), i go and come home having not only the pleasure of the day but the glow afterwards for the benefits sharing always grants me. Happy lacing.
