9 Footwear Do's and Don'ts

9 Footwear Do's and Don'ts
Don't wear high heels for too long. We've all been there: out on the town in an amazing pair of pumps with achy feet and knees. A 2010 study found that over time, wearing heels higher than 2 inches can put you at risk for joint degeneration and knee osteoarthritis, and a new study finds that high heels are a leading cause of ingrown toenails, which can lead to infection and permanent nail damage. But we're not telling you to stop wearing heels unrealistic. "I wouldn't recommend walking miles in heels, but a comfortable heel can be worn to work all day if it has the right features and/or orthotic," says Michele Summers, a California-based podiatrist and shoe designer. (You can pick up arch-support inserts at drug stores.) Try saving your sky-high heels for short-lived occasions like dinners, says John Brummer, a New York City-based podiatrist.

Don't wear flip-flops everywhere. They're easy, and as temperatures heat up, you're likely to slip them on often. Cool it, say experts. "Flip-flops give your foot basically no support, and the constant rubbing of the thong between the toes can cause a friction blister," says Summers. Not to mention they make stubbed toes, cuts,[url=http://woolrichoutletdeutschland.halod.com/][b]http://woolrichoutletdeutschland.halod.com/[/b][/url], and sprained ankles more likely,[url=http://woolrichparkaschweiz.albirank.net/][b]cheap woolrich winter[/b][/url], according to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). Limit flip-flops to settings like the beach or the pool. And when you do wear them, invest in a supportive leather pair,[url=http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/][b]duvetica usa outlet[/b][/url], or a pair that carries the APMA seal of acceptance, the association advises. (If you have diabetes, you should never wear flip-flops,[url=http://peutereyoutletitaliaonline.olimx.com/][b]Peuterey Outlet Italia[/b][/url], since the disease can dull your sense of pain,[url=http://parajumperssalenorge.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Jakke Outlet Salg[/b][/url], allowing minor wounds to become major problems for example your knowledge.)
Do exercise in shoes designed for your sport. It's "extremely important" to find gym shoes designed for your sport of choice because they'll accommodate the actions needed for the specific activity,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets For Men[/b][/url], says Brummer. If you're a runner, consider going a step further with a professional fitting, since your gait and range of motion affect the shoe you need,[url=http://rogervivierheelssale.webstarts.com/][b]http://rogervivierheelssale.webstarts.com/[/b][/url], advises the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine. For example, overpronators whose feet rotate too far inward steered toward shoes that offer more support.

Don't wear the same shoes every day. It's tempting to always throw on your trusty flats. But alternating shoes can help keep your feet limber,[url=http://woolrichoutletdeutschland.halod.com/][b]Woolrich Deutschland Woolrich Arctic Jacket Woolrich Damen Woolrich Herren outlet deutschland[/b][/url], says Summers. Plus it's good to air out shoes every other day to avoid bad smells. (Your significant other will thank you.)
Don't wear hand-me-downs. Reconsider those thrift-store sandals. "Each foot imprints a different wear pattern into the shoe," says Summers, so a used pair may not be the best fit.
Do discard worn-out shoes. Speaking of old shoes, it might be time to pitch yours. (Sniff.) If the sole is worn down more on one side than the other or is separating, let the pair go,[url=http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/][b]Femmes Doudoune Duvetica[/b][/url], says Summers. And replace athletic shoes that are beyond their shelf life; running shoes can last about 300 to 500 miles before causing problems, depending on the athlete, Brummer says.
Do change out of sweaty footwear. Fungal infections aren't just a consequence of barefoot showering at the gym. (By the way, don't do that.) You could get athlete's foot if you hang out in damp hosiery. Change your shoes and socks regularly, wash your feet daily, and dry your feet thoroughly to help prevent infection,[url=http://peutereyoutletitaliaonline.olimx.com/][b]Peuterey Outlet[/b][/url], advises the APMA.
