Shoe Wear

 

SHOES!!!!!

 The purpose of  shoes is to protect and cushion the feet.  Improperly fitted shoes  cause of many foot deformities like bunions, hammer toes, ingrown nails and corns. Foot size changes with age, is very important to have feet measured every time you buy shoes.

A proper podiatric examination has to includes the evaluation of the shoes.  Wear patterns are generally predictable, with the normal wear pattern on the outsole slightly to the inside at the toe and outside at the heel. Abnormalities in the wear pattern indicate problems with alignment and gait. Extra eyelets, where the laces criss-cross to the top of the shoe, aiming for a snug but comfortable fit.

Although proper fitting of shoes always should be fit to the weight-bearing foot at the end of the day, when feet are at their largest. The upper should not wrinkle with flexion, and the foot should not bulge over the welt. The end of the longest toe of the larger foot should be within 3/8² to 1/2² of the end of the toe box. The shoe should provide a relatively snug grip at the counter above the heel.  Above all else, shoes should be comfortable from the moment they are tried on.
