The summer is the worst time of year when it comes to wearing improper shoes. Most sandals have no support or a very little amount and this can lead to foot problems. Also, it is vital to make sure that your shoes correctly fit your feet. These two tips are primary components to overall foot care. Poor fitting shoes can lead to blisters, bruising, ingrown toenails and other foot problems. You want your shoes to fit properly so you can avoid these complications.

When you are shopping for a new pair of shoes, the most important factor is that your size is not the same from shoe to shoe. The size of your shoes varies from one style or manufacture to the next. Therefore, you may wear a womens size 8 running shoe, but you may need to wear a size 7 or 9 dress shoe.  One more helpful hit when comparing the same shoe style , a half size larger will be 1/6 inch longer and a width wider will be 1/16 inch wider at the ball of your foot and a total of 1/8 inch wider in circumference. Then, you need to look at the support the shoe gives you. In Middle Tennessee this week, the temperature outside has been nothing but HOT and every one wears sandals or flip-flops. Sadly, most do not have support but we found you the right kind of flip-flops for the summer. Chacos, Dansko, FitFlop Sandals and Orthaheel Sandals are among the recommended list for supportive sandals that are great for your feet.

www.apma.org has more information on helpful hits to help with proper fitting shoes as well as shoes with great support for walking, running, or just because. If you need have noticed any of the above foot complications, call our office at (615) 220-8788 or request an appointment online.
