Choose the right footwear
for yourself |
The right
footwear is very important in preventing
toe, nail and ankle injuries. Good footwear
allows the feet to relax and breathe,
making it more easy and comfortable for
you to walk in them. Given below are a
few key points that you must keep in mind
before choosing footwear. |
|
Choose roomy
footwear that allows for more space
for your toes and the ball of your foot.
The space should be enough for you to
wriggle your toes freely inside the shoe. |
|
Choose shoes
that fit properly. Avoid shoes
that are either too tight or too loose
for you. While the designs may look inviting,
remember that with the wrong shoe size
you will not be able to wear them comfortably. |
|
The occasion
is of prime importance while opting footwear.
Slippers, inexpensive cloth shoes and
sandals made of soft leather are ideal
for home wear. Soft leather flat shoes
or heeled shoes may be good for daywear
and formal wear. High heels can be purchased
both for formal and party-wear. |
|
Avoid high-heeled
shoes, as they tend to put pressure on
the front of your foot. If you still need
to opt for high heels take a pair that
provides more space for your toes. The
optimum heel you must opt for is
2 inches or preferably lower. For comfortable
wear it is most apt to invest in flat
footwear. Such shoes allow more room for
toes and the foot to breathe. |
|
The material
that makes the shoe is also important.
Avoid shoes made of materials that do
not stretch comfortably when you wear
them. If the shoe is a little tight but
of good material, you can ask the storekeeper
to stretch the shoe for you. This may
help in getting a snug fit. |
|
Feet size
tend to vary by half a size from morning
to evening when they may have a slight
normal swelling due to pressure put on
them throughout the day. Thus it is best
to choose footwear in the evening. |
|
If you have
foot problems it is best to consult your
foot health professional before
choosing footwear. He will help in providing
recommendations suitable to your needs. |
|
Shoe sizes
tend to change with age. To get
the best fit, try the feel of the shoe
while standing. Walk around the store
to know how comfortable the fit feels. |
|
Avoid shoes
where you may need to break in
for a good fit. |
