-
Avoid shoes that have
seams over areas
of pain,
such as
a bunion.
- Avoid shoes with
heavy rubber soles
that curl over
the top of the toe area
(such as seen on some
running shoes), as they can
catch on carpets and
cause an accidental fall.
- Flat shoes (with
a heel height of
one inch or less)
are the healthiest
shoes for your
feet. If you must
wear a
high heel, keep to a heel height of two
inches or less, limit
them to three hours
at a time
and take
them off coming to and from an activity.
- Laced, rather than
slip-on shoes,
provide a more
secure fit and can accommodate insoles, orthotic
devices and braces.
- Look for soles that
are shock absorbing
and skid
resistant,
such as rubber rather than smooth
leather.
- The shoe should
be made of a soft
material that
has
some give like
glove leathers.
