I've been standing for 5 years and love it - no back pains and feel much better physically and mentally at the end of a day compared to sitting.
The biggest issue for me is foot fatigue. I now use 2 anti-fatigue mats - a rubber lower mat (Genuine Joe Anti Fatigue Mat), and a foam upper (Imprint Cumulus9 Kitchen Mat Nantucket Series). Without these there is no way I could handle more than 6 hours. However, even with them, I still have sore feet after 10-12 hours (8 hours is ok). Another useful component of a standing desk is a foot stool to periodically shift weight around.

I found them to work very well for me, even without mats.
