Shoes can either support your feet or contribute to pain and deformities. Follow these guidelines:

Do choose shoes with a supportive arch and cushioned sole.
Don’t wear high heels for extended periods, as they can cause bunions and heel pain.
Do make sure your shoes fit properly – too tight can cause blisters, too loose can lead to instability.
Don’t wear worn-out shoes. Replace athletic shoes every 300-500 miles.
Do opt for breathable materials to prevent fungal infections.
Don’t assume your foot size stays the same – get measured regularly.

Wearing the wrong shoes can cause foot pain, knee issues, and back problems. If you’re experiencing discomfort, it might be time to consult a podiatrist.
