What’s your reasoning for the shoes you choose in the morning? Is it a style choice? Maybe you have a go-to pair that you wear for everything. Or maybe you don’t put much thought into your shoes at all. It’s our hope that this article will influence you to be more mindful of the shoes you wear and how they aid in your health.

Prevents Blisters and Calluses

Whether a shoe is too big, too small, or the wrong fit, it can lead to blisters and even calluses. The wrong pair of shoes will rub on your foot causing pain. It can be so uncomfortable but is easy to prevent with a good fitting pair of shoes.

Decreases the Chance of Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by flat feet or feet with high arch. We recommend people with these symptoms to get general or custom-made orthotics to balance that foot shape. This aids in comfort while also preventing the symptoms of plantar fasciitis.

Improves Posture and Decreases Back Pain

Poor posture and back pain are some things people suffer from every day. But not everyone correlates this pain to their shoes. Our feet hold up the rest of our bodies so it’s important to have a good foundation for them to rest on.

Prevents Injury

Wearing the wrong pair of shoes is one of the easiest ways to get injured. On the other hand, wearing the right pair is one of the easiest ways to prevent injury. A good fitting pair of shoes is so important for all types of activities.

Protects Against Infection and Injuries

With school ending and the temperature increasing, people are more active. With a variety of activities to take part in this summer, don’t forget to protect your feet. Going barefoot or with sandals on can expose your feet to bacteria and fungus. By prioritizing taking care of your feet, you’ll be able to avoid exposure and continue having a fun summer.

Come Get Orthotics!

While not every foot problem can be solved by wearing proper shoes, it can certainly help improve and prevent all kinds of foot pain! If you’re ready to start walking comfortably, schedule an appointment with one of our doctors. They can steer you in the right direction for shoes. They can also recommend generic or custom-made orthotics to get that perfect fit.
