Do Your Feet Hurt You?Did you know that your feet can grow in both size and shape as you grow older? It is recommended that you measure your feet every 5 years. And not just one foot, but both feet. If one foot it larger than another, it's recommended that you purchase shoes to fit the largest foot. There should be 3/8" to 1/2" of space between your big toe and the tip of the shoe when a shoe is properly fitted. While women do like to have good looking shoes, shoes that are smaller are not going to stretch to fit over your feet. Everyone needs room to "wiggle" their toes in their shoes.
In 1993 a survey found that most women are tired of wearing shoes that hurt their feet. Shoes that are improperly fitted can cause bunions, heel pain, deformed toes, as well as nerve damage in your feet. It can also cause knee problems as well. Feet can often give a person a good indication of their general health. Some symptoms below can be linked to health issues. When you go to the doctor, make sure to remove your socks so that the doctor can check your feet as well as the rest of the doctor.
-Swollen ankles can be a sign of congestive heart failure.
-Chronic cold feet can be a sign of circulatory disease.
-Insensitivity to pain or temperature can be a sign of diabetes.
-Clubbed toe nails can be a sign of respiratory disease.
**You may have these signs and still not have any of these issues.**
According to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society recommends that women not wear high heels for more than two to three hours a day. Wear high heels for long periods of time can shorten the Achilles tendon and cause a loss in range of motion. Up to 75% of two million people suffering from heel pain are women with a shortening of Achilles tendons. According to a 1997 survey, a majority of women are not wearing high heels anymore over one inch to work on a daily basis. Fewer than 3% of women are wearing shoes with a height of more than 2 and one quarter inches. The average woman isn't going to be spending much time in uncomfortable shoes in the future.
So, remember, the next time you go shoe shopping, man or woman, make sure to get shoes that fit properly and that comfortable, more than stylish!
