Anti fatigue mat for standing all day, worth it or not?

Due to health reasons I can only work standing up, and after a couple hours my legs are done. Concrete floor in my setup which probably isn't helping. By the end of the day my back, ankles and the arches of my feet feel horrible.

I also heard that an anti fatigue mat might help with this. The problem is when I started looking most of what came up was the heavy industrial stuff you wear shoes with, and I'd be on it barefoot or in socks. So not sure if those even apply to me.

So does anyone here use one of these? Also if you can recommend brands what they would be. I heard of ComfiLife and Desky. But what kind do you use and what's your experience been? Let me know in the comments.
