Taking Care of Your Feet

Tips for Choosing Shoes

  • Choose shoes that fit the shape of your foot with adequate width and enough room in the toe for movement. Leave a half-inch between your big toe and the end of the shoe. Avoid pointed toes as they can lead to corns, calluses and bunions
  • Avoid shoes with more than two inches of heel, which may cause your toes to be crammed into the toe area of the shoe causing calluses, corns, and bunions
  • Choose shoes that feel light and comfortable when you first try them on. Try on both shoes, as one foot may be a different size than the other. It is best to try on shoes in the afternoon or at the end of the day when feet tend to be larger than they are when you begin your day
  • NEVER buy shoes that you need to "break in". If they don't feel comfortable in the store, they aren't likely to improve with time
  • Choose lace ups over slip-ons for added stability and support
