Find The Right Shoe For You
By Fiona Vurnum
Find the Right Shoe For You!
The wrong shoes can cause or aggravate problems with your feet, not
to mention they can look incredibly uncomfortable. The right shoes can
often help to prevent - but cannot correct - problems. So wearing the
right shoes is not only vital for looking your best, but also for foot
health. Here follow some guidelines.
Shoe Construction
Leather is best because is breathes like skin and moulds to your foot.
But a cheaper alternative would be a man-made material, with a similar
look and feel of leather. Shoe soles should be strong but flexible with a
good tread for grip.
Insoles should be slightly soft or 'spongy' to reduce the jolts of walking
on hard surfaces. Arch supports distribute weight over a wider area.
Rigid shanks also give added support. High heels look fabulous, but bear
in mind that they should not be worn for too long and are not ideal for
walking. However, a good comfortable high heel, will give you superb
posture.
A Good Fit
Only you can tell if shoes fit. If they aren't comfortable, you're in the
wrong size!
Don't bet on shoes stretching with wear, that's simply a sales pitch
from a shoe seller that does not have the size you need in stock! If you
already own shoes that are too tight, sell them or pass them onto a
charity and invest in a fabulous new pair. Because feet grow as you
age, don't assume you will always be the same size, whenever you buy
a new pair. Both feet are often different sizes. Always buy shoes for
the BIGGEST foot or you risk cramping in those little toes!
Go shoe shopping as late in the day as you can, feet are at their largest
then.
Size depends on shoe make, what they are made of and style, too.
Don't assume you'll always be the same size. If the larger feels better,
go with it. If they are smaller, they will never be comfortable. If they
are slightly larger, insoles, heel grips and gel pads can be added to fill
them out a little. To ensure maximum comfort, the toe area should be
roomy enough so you can wiggle all your toes.
Remember: Good shoes are part of the good care your feet deserve.
Look after your feet and they will look after you!
