The feet typically endure years of wear and tear, and practicing good foot care will aid the feet in feeling comfortable. One of the ways this can be accomplished is to learn how to properly measure your feet so the correct size shoes can be chosen. Research has shown the feet are typically largest at the end the day, making it the optimum time to try shoes on. Additionally, it’s beneficial to try both shoes on to ensure a proper fit, because one foot is generally larger than the other. The shoes should feel good when initially tried on, and should not be expected to stretch out to feel it’s best. When the shoes are constructed of a soft material, possible skin irritations may be avoided. If you would like additional information about how to choose shoes that properly fit your feet, please seek the advice of a podiatrist.
Finding a properly-fitting shoe is important in reducing injuries and preventing foot problems. For more information about treatment, contact Brent Harwood, DPM from Southeast Podiatry. Our doctor will treat your foot and ankle needs.
Proper Shoe Fitting
A common concern when it comes to foot health, having properly fitted shoes can help prevent injuries to the foot. Out feet affect our posture and gait, which in turn affects the biomechanics and overall bodily structure. With 33 joints, 26 bones, and over 100 ligaments, the potential for serious injury is much greater than one realizes. Although the feet cease growth in adulthood, they still change shape as they mature. Here are some factors to consider when it comes to investing in proper fitting shoes:
Keeping in mind how shoes fit the biomechanics of your body, properly-fitting shoes are vitally important. Fortunately, it is not difficult to acquire footwear that fits correctly. Be sure to wear shoes that support the overall structure of your body. Do your feet a favor and invest in several pairs of well-fitted shoes today.
