Feet
and Footwear
Do
your shoes fit your feet? A strange question you might say, but
think again. Do the shoes you wear fit and support your feet the
way they should?
Are
your arches supported? Are there areas that suffer blisters, corns
or calluses? Do your feet, legs or lower back ache at the end of
the day?
If
your shoes fail you in any of these areas, you may need to pay
more attention to your footwear!
The
relationship between your feet and footwear is an intimate and
important one. The shape of our feet is almost as individual as
our thumbprint. When purchasing footwear, consider the need for
arch support; width and length to prevent blisters and calluses;
and shoe balance for comfort and stability.
Alterations
can be made to general footwear. Alternatively you may consider
inserting semi rigid orthoses or purchasing medical grade
footwear, custom fitted to support your feet.
When
your feet meet your footwear makes it a happy union – your body
will thank you! |
