Holiday Footwear Can Be a Pain!
Do your party shoes look great – but feel tight, pinch your feet, or cause pain in your feet, legs or back?
Wearing fashionably festive, but ill-fitting footwear, can cause a myriad of foot problems, some that can have long term consequences.
Foot Conditions Caused by Wearing the Wrong Style or Size of Shoes…
- blisters
- bunions
- calluses and corns
- heel, arch, knee or foot pain
- ingrown toenails
- pain!
We offer comprehensive treatment for these and other foot related conditions.
How can you avoid nuisance and painful foot conditions? Start by being selective when you’re buying shoes – not just around the holidays, but year round.
Tips for Buying Footwear
- Avoid high-heels. High heels shift much of your body mass onto the balls of your feet and tiny toe bones. The higher the heel, the greater the potential for damage
- Choose shoes with wide toe boxes, that fit comfortably, and offer good support
- If shoes feel tight, ask for a wider width
- Ask your Chiropodist for footwear suggestions
Feet are the foundation for good health! Take care of your feet with regular foot and nail care appointments starting today! A referral is not required to see a Chiropodist!
