DO YOU WANNA HAVE THESE…?

….Then wear the right SHOE for YOU!!!!

I read some info on how foot ailments and disorders could be prevented…

SHOE CONSTRUCTION

• Leather is best because is breathes like skin and molds to your foot. But cheaper canvas is fine for fast-growing children. NO to SYNTHETIC LEATHER!!!
• YES to FLEXIBLE SOLES.
• Insoles should be cushioned to absorb the jolts of walking on hard surfaces.
• Buy those with ARCH SUPPORT especially if you have arched feet.
• HIGH HEELS should NOT be WORN for LONG. Besides cramping the toes, they change body posture, making backaches more likely.

THE RIGHT FIT

• Only you can tell if shoes fit. If they aren’t comfortable, don’t buy them!
• NOT ALL SHOES GET BIGGER WHEN WORN EVERYDAY.
• Because feet spread with age, have your feet measured every time you buy shoes.
• Go shoe shopping late in the afternoon when feet swell to their largest.
• Size depends on shoe make and style, too. Don’t insist you always wear one size if the next feels better.
• Your FOREFOOT SHOULD NOT BE WIDER THAN YOUR SHOE. Tsk tsk…a common mistake.

Remember…. You only get to have one pair of feet in your life! (…unless you undergo feet transplant :-(). Take care of them! NO PAIN, …NO GAINING BLISTERS & CALLUSES! Haha!
