Good Shoes Make For Happy Feet!

The shoes you wear every day can affect the health of your feet, your knees, your back, and all the way up the spine. Choose a quality pair of shoes that provides the

support your arches need.

Pick shoes that do not provide ankle support, since they may be better for everyday use.

Pick a pair of shoes that does not narrow too much in the middle of the outsole.

Pick a style with material that breathes or a design with perforations that will not trap

moisture

Bend the front of the shoe upwards

Only the front third should bend up. The rear two-thirds of the shoe should be strong and difficult to bend.

Press against the counter (the back spine of the shoe) and squeeze the sides of the

counter, which support the heel, to check that they are strong and not easily

deformed.

To check, remove the insole and compare it

against your foot. The

insole should be longer by

about the width of your thumbnail. If one foot is

slightly bigger than the other,

accommodate the larger

foot.

Ask for a measurement of your foot size

Check the stitching for quality, especially along the baseline, inside and out. (Demo pairs are typically of low quality.)

Give the shoes a test drive

Reject the design if your foot rolls outward or either heel lifts out.

Although some materials like leather will stretch over time, too much

tightness can cause discomfort over long durations.
