Footwear can be fashionable or all out hideous but this doesn’t make a difference when it comes to whether or not your footwear is killing your feet!
We have seen many different styles popping up over the years, maybe you are someone who wears crocs? Or someone that wears versace slippers? Or maybe you like to wear thongs on a day to day basis?
If any of this sounds familiar maybe your footwear is killing your feet!
In this blog we will go through what type of footwear are going to be ideal for your situation and why and how our team can help you if its to late!
What Is The Best Type Of Footwear?
The ideal pair of shoes does not exist! There is not a one style fits all solution when it comes to footwear. The goal when looking for something to put on your feet is to find a pair of shoes that suits your job and your lifestyle. You may need 2 different types of shoes, 1 for work and 1 for everyday chores.
What Should I Be Looking For When Buying Shoes?
First things first, you should “Try Before You Buy”. Comfort is key but browsing online stores and reading reviews isnt going to make you feel the comfort and support of a shoe!
The top 3 things you should be looking for in a shoe are:
– Arch Support of the foot
– Ankle Support
– Comfort
Unfortunately it is extremely hard to find a nice mix of all 3 of these combinations. You might find a shoe with amazing support but feels like a brick on your foot or you may find an amazing shoe that comfortable when walking but has 0 ankle support so any type of running or strenuous movement may be a risk of injury!
How Do I Know If My Feet Are The Problem?
This all depends on your goals! What has been giving you grief? Are you cramping in your feet at night? Have you had changes to the way you walk recently? Do you find it hard to grip or keep balance on a steady floor? These are just some simple things that you can get checked by one of our health care professionals!
