Reflexology and shoes

One of the things I notice most about feet is the damage that is caused to so many of them by poorly fitting shoes.

As you would expect, this is mainly a problem that women seem to suffer and it seems ridiculous to me that we cause ourselves so much pain and aggravation for no real reason other than fashion.

Shoes should be snug and comfortable because shoes that are too narrow, too short or which fit poorly will cause foot problems and can be a cause of hip, knee and back pain.

The best advice is to allow plenty of time when you choose your shoes and ensure that you try them on several times and walk around as much and as far as you reasonably can.

This might seem like rather obvious advice but from the look of some of the feet I have seen recently it is advice that is worth repeating.

Following on from this, if you have corns or other painful areas then it is worth seeing a chiropodist and, if it helps you, there are usually mobile chiropodists in most areas.
