Dress shoes and Back pain???

Hi everyone, This is completely random but I want to see if anyone else has experienced this. Lately, my lower back and legs (especially my knees) have been sore and hurting pretty badly. I suspect that it may be my shoes. I wear lace-up dress shoes every day and none of my pairs have that much cushion. The only other thing I suspect is my chair, as they are a bit old and also don't have that much cushion.

Anybody else experience something like this, and if so, what did you do to help it?
