Shoe shopping can be difficult, especially when you don’t know what to look for when finding the right shoe for you. Choosing the wrong shoe and shoe size can result in a variety of foot problems such as pain, hammertoe, and bunions. The most important rule you can follow when shopping for shoes is to never buy them online. It is crucial that you try on the shoes you want to buy so that you know exactly what you are getting. When picking a shoe, you want to avoid narrow toe boxes which may cause bunions as well as other foot deformities. If you are an athlete, it is recommended that you purchase multiple pairs of shoes--if you can afford to do so. This is because sweat tends to get trapped within the shoe, and you need to give your sneakers time to dry off before using them again. If you are experiencing foot pain due to the shoes you wear, you should make an appointment with your podiatrist to see what may be the problem.

Getting the right shoe size is an important part of proper foot health. Seek the assistance of Dr. Paul Drucker from NYC Foot Care, PC. Our doctor will provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

Getting the Right Shoe Size

There are many people who wear shoes that are the incorrect size, negatively affecting their feet and posture. Selecting the right shoes is not a difficult process, so long as you keep several things in mind when it comes to choosing the right pair.

• When visiting the shoe store, use the tools available to measure your foot.
• Be sure there is ‘wiggle room’. There should be about an inch between your toes and the tip of your shoes.
• Do not always assume you are the same size, as manufacturers run differently.
• Purchase shoes later in the day, as your feet swell as the day progresses.
• If a shoe is not comfortable, it is not suitable. Most shoes can’t be ‘broken in’, and comfort should be the ultimate goal when it comes to choosing the right pair of shoes

As our feet hold our body weight and keep us moving, it is important to treat them right. Picking the right pair of shoes can provide your feet comfort and mobility without pain.

The health of your feet is very important, and it is crucial that you are aware of what may be harming them so that you can avoid any serious conditions. A good tip to follow while shopping for shoes is to look for shoes made of leather material. Unlike other artificial materials, leather is a natural fiber that allows the feet to breathe. In addition, you should look for a shoe that offers a good amount of arch support for your feet in order to prevent long-term pain and damage. Another tip is to never wear the same shoes two days in a row. When you repeatedly wear a pair of shoes, you are putting a significant amount of pressure on the same area of your foot, which can cause misalignment.

Everyday foot care is very important to prevent infection and other foot ailments. If you need your feet checked, contact Dr. Paul Drucker from NYC Foot Care, PC. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

Everyday Foot Care

Often, people take care of their bodies, face and hair more so than they do for their feet. But the feet are a very important aspect of our bodies, and one that we should pay more attention to. Without our feet, we would not be able to perform most daily tasks.

It is best to check your feet regularly to make sure there are no new bruises or cuts that you may not have noticed before. For dry feet, moisturizer can easily be a remedy and can be applied as often as necessary to the affected areas. Wearing shoes that fit well can also help you maintain good foot health, as well as making it easier to walk and do daily activities without the stress or pain of ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or even flip flops. Wearing clean socks with closed shoes is important to ensure that sweat and bacteria do not accumulate within the shoe. Clean socks help to prevent Athlete’s foot, fungi problems, bad odors, and can absorb sweat.
