How to Choose Shoes and Preventing Foot Problems - Toronto Podiatrist
Dr. Sheldon Nadal discusses How to Choose Shoes and Preventing Foot Problems http://www.footcare.net
Examining old shoes before buying new ones can help you evaluate your wear patterns and buy new shoes with a better fit and style that compensates for the stresses you place on shoes.
What are your shoes trying to tell you? Here is a translation of basic wear patterns:- A bulge and wear to the side of the big toe means too-narrow fit or you have a bunion.
- Outer sole wear means you turn your foot out. Orthotics may help.
- Toe-shaped ridges on the upper means your shoes are too small or you have hammertoes.
- Wear on the ball of the foot means your heel tendons may be too tight.
- Wear on the inner sole means you pronate or turn your foot inward. Inner liners or orthotics may help.
- Wear on the upper, above the toes means the front of your shoe is too low.

Would these tips help with plantar fasciitis? I have had a history of it in my family, and I love running, and I would like to avoid it. I would like to avoid needing orthotics, but I will have to get it if I need it.
