Here's your Wellness Wednesday tip: are you school shopping for shoes?
Our doctors share their shoe shopping advice not only for kids but also adults:
👟The best walking shoe is the shoe that fits you well, corrects any foot alignment issues you may have and provides both good support and good cushioning.
👡To start, always try a shoe on to make sure it is appropriate in fit for the length and width of your foot.
👠Next, obtain a shoe that is correct for the amount of arch you have and puts your foot in good alignment. If you're unsure of your foot alignment, a visit to your chiropractor or podiatrist will help.
👢Also, many running stores will do a gait analysis (the alignment of your foot when you walk) for you.
👞Lastly, an EVA midsole with a rubber outsole provides good support and good cushioning for standing on your feet all day.
