I got this mat and it works well at my standing desk
This is an interesting idea! I've been thinking about constructing a treadmill desk (a la John Green of Nerdfighteria), but my thoughts were about the exercise involved. The effects it would have on procrastination didn't really cross my mind.
You may want to invest in a standing mat.
ASIDE: This will give you a longer go before your feet start to hurt: http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Joe-Air-Step-Anti-Fatigue/dp/B000EFK9KM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335459614&sr=8-1 . I use it.
I have a convertable standup/normal desk. I can raise and lower when I want to stand vs sit.
What has helped a lot is an anti-fatigue mat. You basically stand on it and it provides nice support.

Good pair of shoes:
yeah the shoes aren't very stylish. At least the ones I bought are not very offensive looking, they just look like "waiter / bus boy / delivery" work shoes.
I have 2 different mats I use:
The balance pad can get tiring after a while, so I tend to use it for ~20 minutes or so on and off.
He needs this
Assuming your amp is not leaning against or touching any walls, you can put some sort of dense foam matt under your amp.
something like this is what I'm talking about.
I've actually used something like that to keep the stage at a particular venue from just roaring every time I hit an A. Works great for that...
I have one similar to this: Adjustable Height Desk and I love it. I use it mainly for sitting while gaming, but standing while working. I would recommend getting an ergonomic standing base like this: Anti-Fatigue Mat
I work from home at a standing desk. I'm usually barefoot or with slippers. Sounds like nice slippers could be an option in your environment. You could leave them at the desk and slip them on when you get to work, which means you wouldn't be hamstrung on your shoe choice.
And get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EFK9KM/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
I love starting stretching... I don't think its practical to do in your office/work clothing.
That said, download a timer of sorts and stand up every 45-60mins and go for a walk. Maybe do some basic hip leaning stretching, touch your toes, etc. But getting up and walking is probably going to help with the posture/tight hamstrings.
Also if you employer is awesome, get a standing desk (or make your own). I suggest a little standing mat too. http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Joe-Anti-Fatigue-Beveled-3-Feet/dp/B000EFK9KM#
Thanks for putting this out here. We often spend a lot of time at our desks and this is really important for long term health and happiness. Here's my alternative feedback: Get a standing desk. More specifically, get one that adjusts, either electrically, or manually (my preference as it's less likely to break), so you can sit or stand. I kept my crappy chair, and now stand about half to three-quarters of the day. Sit in the AM for coffee and sit for lunch.
Here's what I did to make this happen:

Ikea Galant Table Top (Cheaper than buying it all from the desk manufacturer)
http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Anti-Fatigue-Beveled-3-Feet-Black/dp/B000EFK9KM (Your knees and ankles will thank you)
Totally optional is a wobble board like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Isokinetics-Brand-Deluxe-Balance-Board/dp/B001CSIRQ8/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1373634567&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=isokinetics+wobble (Might as well burn some calories and build some core muscles while you stand there, plus it's fun and keeps my urge to fidget or play with something in check. Also helped the knees and ankles because you're not standing still all day.)
My employer was kind enough to purchase the desk frame and tabletop after I explained that I was having difficulty working efficiently due to back pain. I've never been more comfortable at work, and, as a bonus, I have more energy and lost almost ten pounds. Make yourself a temporary standing desk and try it! Just be advised, it takes about two weeks of discomfort to adjust to regular standing.

I just roll my chair over the mat when I sit. It definitely erodes the mat, but I bought a $30 mat on amazon 4 years ago and while it looks a little eroded, it works just fine.
Edit: I have the “genuine joe” mat on amazon. $22 on amazon, had it for years and it works great. It’s thick enough to provide comfort but thin enough to roll the chair over.

You need one of these http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Joe-Anti-Fatigue-Beveled-3-Feet/dp/B000EFK9KM/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1420753791&sr=8-8&keywords=standing+desk
Get one of these stress relief mats or something similar to stand on.
