A thick, rigid, and non-flexible sole. </b>A shoe that has a thick, rigid, and non-flexible sole allows less motion through painful joints, which means more foot comfort. The concept is counter-intuitive but less motion means less pain, less strain, and less damage to the joints and will help slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes, and arthritic joint changes. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>2. Wide toe box. </b>Pointy-toed shoes cause bunions, hammertoes, corns, and ingrown toenails (to name a few!). </div><div><br /></div><div><b>3. Rearfoot control. </b>All of these shoes and boots have rearfoot control, which helps to decrease mechanical strain on tendons, and ligaments and also increases strain on your knees, hips, and lower back. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>4. Arch Support. </b>Many of these examples will not accommodate a full-length functional orthotic, but most will allow you to wear at least a good over-the-counter insert or a thinner dress orthotic. Arch support is important to help slow the progression of bunions and hammertoes as decreases strain on your knees, hips, and lower back. </div><div><br style="background-color: #fb5e53; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9ynW8kWaYbo8HrvaNsjdfWG3JXH3RiXpNOmwXqYqJ7e-ka1r6mO9jSI1g_d877AxEHcZoigAY7VkqQteRlkynBC3e7Yk2CxlahKsuJblWrawE0QJzo2u4jQMy1Tfuw-1-lcZ0AM6zMpzpZEXSFHfwxfUqFtT6KtRx6Y-hwueIhDB6e5R-JtY5Kh1pJg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="177" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9ynW8kWaYbo8HrvaNsjdfWG3JXH3RiXpNOmwXqYqJ7e-ka1r6mO9jSI1g_d877AxEHcZoigAY7VkqQteRlkynBC3e7Yk2CxlahKsuJblWrawE0QJzo2u4jQMy1Tfuw-1-lcZ0AM6zMpzpZEXSFHfwxfUqFtT6KtRx6Y-hwueIhDB6e5R-JtY5Kh1pJg" width="243" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Fredy Platform Boot Marc Fisher LTD</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a great option for anyone who knows that they can wear heels comfortably.

The best way to figure out if these work for you is to got to the store and try them on.

A thick, rigid, and non-flexible sole. </b>A shoe that has a thick, rigid, and non-flexible sole allows less motion through painful joints, which translates into more comfort. The concept is counter-intuitive but less motion means less pain, less strain, and less damage to the joints and will help slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes, and arthritic joint changes. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>2. Wide toe box. </b>Pointy-toed shoes cause bunions, hammertoes, corns, and ingrown toenails (to name a few!). </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>3. Rearfoot control. </b>Flips flops are not good for your feet because they cause you to "grip down" your toes, which can promote hammertoes and mechanical strain to tendons, ligaments and also increase strain to your knees, hips, and lower back. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>4. Arch Support. </b>This is where many (but not all) sandals fail, but you can always add in arch support with over-the-counter products that you can "stick onto" the footbed. Our Certified Pedorthist (Mike) at our office can help you with this. For a free shoe and arch support consult, you can call <b>480-563-5115</b> and ask for an appointment with Mike. You do not have to be a patient of the practice to make an appointment with Mike, but if you are diabetic or are having significant foot issues, please call and make an appointment with either Dr. Kristina Jay or myself for a complete and comprehensive evaluation (this appointment is not free and we will either bill your insurance or offer a cash pay cost upon request). </span></div><p></p><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

These are my top 10 recommendations for comfortable all-day house slippers and I hope that you find the one that works best for you. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Please remember that if you are wearing one of these slippers and still having foot pain, I recommend that you bump up to wearing more supportive walking or running shoes, such as the New Balance 928 or 1540. If you do this and are <i>still </i>having foot pain, I recommend that you follow up with your local podiatrist for evaluation to ensure that you don't have a more severe problem that needs treatment. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yteLnknmQtE/X59B2CEd9dI/AAAAAAAADY4/JK53qbpb8Cgr9_HFfKDUuGiVL2ohvFJTACLcBGAsYHQ/download.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="162" data-original-width="312" height="166" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yteLnknmQtE/X59B2CEd9dI/AAAAAAAADY4/JK53qbpb8Cgr9_HFfKDUuGiVL2ohvFJTACLcBGAsYHQ/download.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><b>Crocs</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is my top choice for 90% of people seeking a more comfortable bedroom slipper. They work so well that we actually carry them in our office for our patients to try on as a bedroom slipper option. When you purchase these, make sure that your toes do not touch the front of the shoe. The correct sizing should feel "too big" and it should feel like your feet have plenty of room. You should wear the strap to the back which helps prevent knee, hip, and lower back strain. If you purchase them and they are too tight (toes or bunions rubbing on the inside of the shoe) then you will most likely develop painful blisters. If you order these online, order one-half to one-whole size up from what you normally wear. If you live in a cold climate, you can also order fleece-lined Crocs which are ridiculously comfortable and toasty warm. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-la6zHx_8fIM/X59CD7iVvaI/AAAAAAAADY8/GHBWXNZ_jqAUwSFhxwUB3JD-onEfJdwmgCLcBGAsYHQ/download.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="153" data-original-width="329" height="149" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-la6zHx_8fIM/X59CD7iVvaI/AAAAAAAADY8/GHBWXNZ_jqAUwSFhxwUB3JD-onEfJdwmgCLcBGAsYHQ/download.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><b>Vionic Relax Slippers</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you know that you like a lot of arch support, then the Vionic Relax slipper is a great choice as it offers the best arch support of all of these bedroom slippers. If you know that you can't tolerate arch support, then stay away from these slippers as the arch support will probably be too much for your foot comfort.

It's always best to have rearfoot control, but I think it's better to have a slipper that someone can slip into to get quickly from the bed to the bathroom if needed, but if you know that you feel more secure with rearfoot control - this is the slipper for you. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LvyN93TldiA/X59DWJu2gZI/AAAAAAAADZk/OEOH6gfGuDoshgiMUHznWJSxDfWpIXpdACLcBGAsYHQ/download-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="196" data-original-width="257" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LvyN93TldiA/X59DWJu2gZI/AAAAAAAADZk/OEOH6gfGuDoshgiMUHznWJSxDfWpIXpdACLcBGAsYHQ/download-1.jpg" width="315" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;">Birkenstocks</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is my recommendation for people who prefer a more open slipper so that their feet can 'breath.' This option works well for anyone with a history of athlete's foot infections, hyperhidrosis (sweaty feet), the sensation of claustrophobic feet, or the sensation of having 'hot' feet (hello menopause!). I recommend you find a shoe store that is an official dealer for Birkenstocks, so you can go to the store and get a proper fit. If you purchase these sandals online and you get a poor fit then it will significantly decrease the chance of having all the comfort your feet deserve. Do yourself a favor and go to the store and make sure they fit well and feel great. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_VoRxOrhL-g/X59Ds2LEOhI/AAAAAAAADZs/lZLpYUnIdDccHxSqiHVKZL5X7VEnaJ-9QCLcBGAsYHQ/images-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" height="240" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_VoRxOrhL-g/X59Ds2LEOhI/AAAAAAAADZs/lZLpYUnIdDccHxSqiHVKZL5X7VEnaJ-9QCLcBGAsYHQ/images-1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><b>Birkenstock Boston Shearling</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is for anyone who loves their Birkenstocks but wants more warmth.

In honor of making our lives more pleasant and pain-free, I've prepared a top 20 comfortable boot list that I hope proves helpful to you. </span><span>My personal choice for a winter fashion boot is the Mephisto Hazelina, which I purchased from the fantastic Mephisto store on East Shea Boulevard where they have impeccable customer service and an amazing collection of comfortable and fashionable shoes. Mephisto shoes are expensive, but I consider them an investment in my health and well-being. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span>When shopping for a comfortable boot,</span><span> the most important aspect is to find a boot that has </span><span>a thick, rigid, and non-flexible sole. It's counterintuitive, but s</span><span>hoes with less motion through the sole means there is less motion through painful joints and that equates to less inflammation, less swelling, less pain, and less damage. A thick, rigid, and nonflexible sole will also </span><span>decrease mechanical strain on tendons and joints, which means that there is less tired leg syndrome at the end of a long day and it will also decrease strain on the knees, hips, and lower back. </span><span>You should also avoid any boots with a tapered and narrow toe box as they can cause</span><span> bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, and corns. </span><span>A dress orthotic should fit nicely into most of these boots, which will help to slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes, prevent heel pain, and help with people who have over-pronation and hypermobility. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I recommend that you shop for shoes after lunchtime when there is more swelling in your feet and ankles. I don't necessarily recommend this for everyone, but I purchase all my shoes one whole size up as I cannot tolerate any pressure on my toes. Don't be afraid to try the next size or width up to see how they feel. Always remember, it's better to have a shoe a little too big than too tight. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hello, Everyone! I hope that you are all having a healthy, safe, and fun summer. Here are 4 sandal selections that are great for all-day comfort and will help to decrease the risk of developing foot problems as t</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">hey each meet 3 of the 4 criteria for what a shoe must have to be Podiatrist approved. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>To review, for any shoe to be good enough for your feet it must meet the criteria:</b></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0);">First, the most important thing to remember is that any shoe that you wear </span><i>must</i></b><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b> have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole. </b></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The concept is counterintuitive but the idea is that if you have a painful joint then the last thing that you want to do is wear flexible shoes that force motion through joints that can’t handle it. When it comes to the foot, less motion equals less pain, inflammation, and joint damage. A sturdy sole with no motion will also stop or slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes, stress fractures, and osteoarthritis. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Second, it is important that it has a soft, wide toe box</b>, which will </span>put less pressure on toes, which helps to prevent corns, ingrown toenails, and will even decrease the risk of developing toenail fungus. Obviously, sandals are a perfect option for decreasing pressure on the toes. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Third, all shoes that you wear should have rearfoot control (strapping)</b> because shoes without rearfoot control force you to scrunch down your toes to stay in the shoe, which promotes hammertoes and mechanical strain on your tendons and ligaments, which can cause tired leg syndrome.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The fourth thing is to wear shoes that can accommodate a custom-molded orthotic or an excellent over-the-counter insert for better arch support</b>, which will help with preventing knee, hip, and even lower back pain.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> These sandals do not accommodate arch support, so if you know that you need to wear your custom-molded arch support you are better off wearing enclosed shoes that will accommodate them. </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space">I understand that these shoes can be expensive, but think of them as medical equipment and an investment in your body. If proper shoe gear can help alleviate foot, knee, hip, and lower back pain and ensure that you stay active as you get older then your money will be well spent. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">These John Fluvog shoes are a great choice for anyone looking for comfortable yet fashionable footwear. I would recommend that you go to a Fluevog store to try on the shoes if at all possible. If you order online, I recommend that you read the reviews because it will give you tips on getting the best sizing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>To review, for any shoe to be good enough for your feet it must meet 4 criteria:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: medium;">First, the most important thing to remember is that any shoe that you wear </span><i>must</i></b><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: medium;"><b> have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole. </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: medium;">The concept is counterintuitive but the idea is that if you have a painful joint then the last thing that you want to do is wear flexible shoes that force motion through joints that can’t handle it. When it comes to the foot, less motion equals less pain, inflammation and joint damage. A sturdy sole with no motion will also stop or slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes, stress fractures, and osteoarthritis.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: medium;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Second, it is important that it has a soft, wide toe box, </b>which will<b> </b></span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">put less pressure on toes, which helps to prevent corns, ingrown toenails and will even decrease the risk of developing toenail fungus. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Third, all shoes that you wear should have rearfoot control</b> because shoes without rearfoot control force you to scrunch down your toes to stay in the shoe, which promotes hammertoes and mechanical strain on your tendons and ligaments, which can cause tired leg syndrome.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>The fourth thing is to wear shoes that will accommodate a custom-molded orthotic or an excellent over-the-counter insert for better arch support,</b> which will help with preventing knee, hip and even lower back pain.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> If your dress orthotics don't work in your dress shoes or heels then don't wear them as trying to force them into a dress shoe can cause problems such as discomfort, calluses, and crowding of toes. Of the four criteria listed here, having arch support is the least important of the four.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>These shoes are not recommended for patients with:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">*Diabetes </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">*Peripheral Neuropathy (nerve damage)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">*Peripheral Arterial Disease (poor circulation)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">*History of foot ulcerations</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">*Charcot Foot</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you are unsure if any of these shoes will work for your foot condition, please refer to your local podiatrist. </span><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">These boots are a great option for people looking for all-day comfort and fashion. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Remember, no matter what type of boot you choose for yourself, it must meet</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><b style="font-size: x-large;">four criteria </b><span style="font-size: large;">to be comfortable: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>First, it must have a thick rigid sole that you cannot bend or flex.</b> A thin, flimsy sole that bends and flexes will cause excess motion through your foot joints, which can lead to an increased chance of injuries such as fractures and sprains, arthritis, bunions, hammertoes, mechanical strain, and PAIN. An excellent shoe is a shoe that <i>limits motion</i> so that you have less pain, less damage, less chance of injury and, an added bonus, prettier feet. As you walk through life, you are either beating up your feet or you are beating up your shoes - if you think what your shoes look like after a couple of years of use - without the protection of a thick rigid sole - that damage is going to be happening to your joints. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Second, you need arch support.</b> Whether it is built into the shoe, over-the-counter arch support or a custom-molded orthotic - it is important to biomechanically control your arch. When patients say to me that they have great arches and don't need arch support, my answer is that bridges have arches but engineers still put struts under them to decrease mechanical strain. Proper arch support will help decrease knee, hip, and lower back pain as well as stop or slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes and soft tissue injuries such as tendonitis and plantar fascial strain. Talk to your Podiatrist about whether or not your insurance plan pays for you to get custom-molded orthotics. They are often a covered benefit. You only have one set of feet and once they break down - you don't get a new pair. Invest in your body and purchase good shoes and get orthotics. It's the same rationale as a dentist telling you to brush and floss on a regular basis and a dermatologist telling you to wear sunscreen. You need to protect your body because it is just a matter of time until it tries to go south on you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Third, you need a wide and preferably soft toebox. </b>This will decrease pressure on the toes, which will help prevent ingrown toenails, hammertoes, bunions, Morton's Neuromas, and painful corns and calluses. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Forth, you need a shoe with rearfoot control. </b>Backless shoes such as flipflops and mules are not good enough for your feet. If you are not biomechanically controlling the rearfoot with at least a strap, you are forcing your toes to curl down to stay in the shoe, which promotes deformities such as hammertoes and bunions and increases the chance of knee, hip, and lower back pain. Without rearfoot control, you are forcing all of your tendons, ligaments, and joints to work harder to stay in the shoe. This also causes 'tired-leg syndrome' and leg fatigue. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">If you have any severe foot issues or systemic diseases, please check with your Podiatrist to make sure that a particular boot is correct for you. I encourage patients to bring in one bag of shoes so that we can check each shoe together and have a discussion about what will or will not work for their feet. Proper shoegear is absolutely crucial! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>My goal as a Podiatrist is to keep my patients as active as possible for as long as possible with as few problems as possible. And this goal can be achieved with the help of proper shoegear. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What makes these Nike shoes so good are that they meet the 4 criteria required to make a shoe Podiatry approved:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. They have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole</b> which is the most important thing to consider when you are shopping for comfortable shoes. Less motion through painful joints means less pain, less inflammation and less damage to those joints. A soft or flexible soled shoe is horrible for your feet because it offers no support and allows excessive motion through your joints, which can cause degenerative joint disease, bunions, hammertoes, fractures, tendon injuries, and many more foot maladies. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. A wide toe box</b>, which is important because any pressure on the toes can cause bunions, hammertoes, corns, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, blisters, and Morton's Neuromas. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Rearfoot control</b>, which is important because less motion through the rearfoot structures decreases your risk of injury and strain. Flip flops, which have no rearfoot control, forces the wearer to grip down with the toes and this promotes hammertoes as well as a multitude of other foot and ankle issues. It can also increase strain on the knees, hips and lower back.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Although this shoe doesn't have <b>arch support</b>, it will accommodate a custom-molded orthotic or a good over-the-counter insert, which you should be able to get from your local Podiatrist. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Did you see me cruising through Dillard's yesterday? I was the woman walking around checking all the shoes and even taking pictures of some of the shoes on my cell phone. Actually, I am quite surprised that they don't kick me out of there on the off chance I am was an industrial spy! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some recommendations from my latest trip to Dillard's at Fashion Square in Scottsdale where a lovely salesperson names Charles helped me. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This shoe might not look like it, but the sole is very rigid and, therefore, much more supportive. The most important thing about a shoe is that it must have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole because less motion means less pain, less inflammation and less "wear and tear" of the joints. The shoe is not perfect as it has no arch support and the toe box is a bit too tapered for my taste, but this may be a good choice for some patients. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Going into Autumn, this may only be a good choice for those of us in Arizona and the warmer climates who don't have to worry about rain, slush and snow. I really liked this Jambu because it has the thick, rigid and non-flexible sole which is what makes a shoe more comfortable and protective of foot structures such as joints, ligaments and tendons. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Dr. Marten's boot is a great choice for students heading back to school. They are uber-comfortable, sturdy and even sort of cool. I love that Dr. Marten's are coming out in creative colors and even with some bling. I also love that this is a boot that will accommodate a functional or dress orthotic for better arch support. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I purchased this shoe and love it! I can wear my dress heat-molded insert with it for better arch support and I find it is very comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Dillard's has many different designers who have their own versions of what I call these "blinged-out sneakers." </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love that the sole of this dress shoe is so rigid (and therefore supportive and protective). The only issue I have with these shoes is that the toe box is tapered and a bit narrow, but this may be a good choice for someone with a narrow foot. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is another example of one of the fancier "sneakers" that are coming out this Autumn. I love the thick, rigid and non-flexible sole which is what makes the shoe so comfortable. This may not be the best choice for anyone with a high instep or a "bump" on the top of the middle of their arch as the strap will cause too much pressure which will be uncomfortable. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is an excellent shoe that fits a women's size 5 up to size 13, which makes it a good choice for girls</span><span style="font-size: large;"> who need a supportive shoe as well as for women with unusually small feet.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What makes this shoe so good is that it meets the 4 criteria of what is required for a shoe to be good enough for your feet:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1.</b> It must have a <b>thick, rigid and non-flexible sole</b> for more stability and biomechanical protection. Less motion through foot joints means less inflammation, pain and damage. It also gives the runner a mechanical advantage, which should improve her running speed and decrease the risk of injury. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2.</b> It must have <b>a wide, soft and square toebox</b> so there is less pressure on the toes, which decreases the progression of bunions and hammertoes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3.</b> It must have <b>rearfoot control</b> for more biomechanical control of the ankle and foot, which means less strain of the knees, hips and lower back. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4.</b> It should <b>be able to accommodate arch support</b> whether it's over-the-counter inserts or custom-molded orthotics. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This Shoe is Recommended for Patients with:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">* Hallux Limitus (limited range of motion of the 1st toe joint)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">* Hallux Rigidus (no range of motion of the 1st toe joint because it has been surgically fused or degenerative joint disease)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">* Functional Hallux Limitus</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">* Osteoarthritis </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">* Mild Posterior Tibial Tendonitis </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">* Mild Peroneal Tendonitis </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">* Muscle Weakness</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Check with your Podiatrist to see if the NB 860 V9 is appropriate for you if you have any of these conditions:</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">* Diabetes</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This Clark's sandal is my new favorite summer shoe! What's great about this sandal is that it meets the 3 of the 4 criteria required for a shoe to be excellent. Most importantly, it has a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole, which is the most important aspect of a shoe. It's counterintuitive, but less motion through joints means less pain, less inflammation, and less damage. It also has a relatively wide toe box and decent (but not excellent) rearfoot control. The one thing this sandal doesn't have is arch support but despite that I still find this to be an incredibly comfortable shoe. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Although this list is not comprehensive, I did my best to give you some excellent options for various sports specific shoe options. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: large;">First, the most important thing to remember is that any shoe that you wear </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">must</i><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: large;"> have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole. The concept is counterintuitive but the idea is that if you have a painful joint then the last thing that you want to do is wear flexible shoes that force motion through joints that can’t handle it. When it comes to the foot, less motion equals less pain, inflammation and joint damage. A sturdy sole with no motion will also stop or slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes, stress fractures, and osteoarthritis.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Second, it is also important to find shoes with a wide, soft toe box that puts less pressure on toes, which helps to prevent corns, ingrown toenails and even will decrease the risk of developing toenail fungus. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Third, all shoes that you wear should have rear foot control because shoes without rear foot control force you to scrunch down your toes to stay in the shoe, which promotes hammertoes and mechanical strain on your tendons and ligaments, which can cause tired leg syndrome.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">The fourth thing is to wear shoes that will accommodate a custom-molded orthotic or an excellent over-the-counter insert for better arch support, which will help with preventing knee, hip and even lower back pain.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Running:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wearing a running shoe with a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole actually will improve your speed and performance. It works off the lever principle, which means that if you wear a rigid sole while running than that will translate into a significant mechanical advantage, improved efficiency, and energy conservation. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Nike Zoom Fly is a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable running shoe. Although I still prefer the Hoka running shoes for all-around comfort and stellar shock absorption and the New Balance 1540 for stability and the extra depth toe box, the Nike Zoom Fly is a great choice because it has an excellent sole that is thick, rigid and non-flexible, which allows for miles of comfortable running. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The 4 things that a shoe must have to be comfortable (and podiatry recommended) are:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. It must have <b>a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole</b> so that there is no motion through foot joints, tendons, ligament and even muscles. It is counterintuitive, but the concept is that less motion equals less pain, inflammation, and swelling. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. It has a <b>wide and soft toe box</b> that decreases pressure on the toes, which helps stop or slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, and corns (to name a few). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. It has <b>rearfoot control</b>, which allows for more biomechanical control and stability of the foot and ankle structures. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. This shoe will also accommodate a custom-molded orthotic or an excellent over-the-counter insert for better <b>arch support</b>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know it's late in the summer season to be recommending sandals, but this sandal is so good that I had to post about it. Plus, I live in Arizona, which is the land of the perpetual summer!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This sandal meets 3 of the 4 criteria required to make a shoe podiatrist recommended: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. It has a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole</b>, which is the most important aspect of finding shoes that are comfortable and good for your feet. If you are in a shoe that <i>stops</i> motion through painful joints and foot structures, then you will have less inflammation, less swelling and less pain. It also will help slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes, and arthritis.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. It has a wide toe box</b>, which means less pressure on toes. This will help slow the progress of hammertoes and even may help prevent and clear up toenail fungal infections. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. It has rearfoot control</b>, which means there is less biomechanical strain because a rearfoot strap on a sandal helps to limit motion through the rearfoot so that you will not have to 'scrunch down' your toes to stay in a shoe (such as a flip-flop). It also has the added benefit of helping to reduce knee, hip and lower back pain. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Arch support. </b> This sandal, unfortunately, doesn't have arch support. An option is to purchase OTC arch support that has an adhesive underside and can be placed into the sandal for added comfort. This will not be enough arch support for anyone with severely problematic feet, but it should work for someone with only mild to moderate biomechanical issues. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Recommended for patients with:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*Hallux Limitus (limited range of motion through the 1st toe joint)</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is an excellent men's hiking shoe and, if you are a woman who can't find a comfortable hiking shoe, go to REI and try on this men's boot. This is the boot that my husband (aka Mister 15,000 steps per day!) is currently wearing and it has resolved some foot issues that he was developing while wearing his old hiking boots, which were wearing out and getting too flexible (and therefore causing foot pain).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>For a shoe to be good enough for your feet (and be comfortable), they must meet 4 criteria:</i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. They must have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole that allows no motion through painful joints. It's counterintuitive, but a rigid and non-flexible sole is the most important feature of a shoe. </span><span style="font-size: large;">90% of all shoes out there are complete garbage because their soles are too flexible and flimsy. Soles that allow motion through painful joints <i>cause</i> more pain and joint damage. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. A wide toe box, so there is no pressure on the toes and toenails, which can cause bunions, hammertoes, corns, Morton's Neuromas, Tailor's bunions, and fungal toenails. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Rearfoot control, which means that you have to at least have a strap around the back of the shoe (no flip-flops or mules). Rearfoot control allows for more biomechanical control of the foot and ankle structures, which means less inflammation, swelling and pain. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Arch support, which you can do with a custom-molded orthotic or at least an excellent over-the-counter insert for better arch support. </span></div>
<br /><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">If your foot hurts, you might want to consider going to the store and trying on this boot because it's sort of like wearing a mini-CAM-walker, which is what is used to treat broken bones in the feet. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This boot is recommended for patients with:</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Clark's Maritsa Lara is a great choice for fashion and comfort for <i>some</i> foot types. What makes this shoe comfortable is that it meets 3 of the 4 criteria required for a shoe to be good enough for your feet. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Most importantly, this shoe has a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole which is absolutely crucial for foot comfort. Shoes with flexible soles are <i>horrible</i> for your feet because a shoe that allows motion through joints causes pain, inflammation, swelling and can lead to osteoarthritic joint changes. Secondly, this shoe has a wide toe box that helps prevent the risk of hammertoes, bunions, corns, neuromas, ingrown toenails, and fungal toenails. The rearfoot strap helps to control motion which means that there will be less biomechanical strain on joints and tendons, which </span><span style="font-size: large;">will help to speed the healing of pathologies such as Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. Wearing a shoe with rearfoot strapping also helps to decrease strain on the knees, hips and lower back. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">These Naot sandals are all good choices for the Summer of 2018! They each meet three of the four criteria that makes an excellent sandal, which is that they all have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole, a wide toebox, and rearfoot control. Although they do not have the best arch support, it is possible to add self-adhesive over-the-counter arch support if needed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For a shoe to be good enough for your feet, it must have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole that stops motion through painful joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. The idea is counterintuitive, but the essence is that if you stop motion through painful joints (with a rigid sole) then you stop or limit the pain through those joints. If you have arthritic joints or a tendency to develop stress fractures or a history of a previous foot fracture then the last thing you want to do is wear shoes that are flimsy and allow motion through compromised and painful foot structures. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A wide toe box helps prevent hammertoes, bunions, corns, and ingrown toenails. The rearfoot control is important because if you are wearing shoes that are backless, then you are promoting hammertoes, tendonitis, and knee, hip, and lower back strain. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Dr. Marten's Rometty boot is a great choice for many people who are having foot pain, but they are not an appropriate choice for every foot type and condition. What makes this boot excellent is that it has a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole that protects the foot joints from excessive motion, which means there will be less strain and stress on painful joints. Less motion means less inflammation, less swelling, less damage and significantly less foot pain. A rigid sole will also help slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes and osteoarthritic joint changes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The concept is counterintuitive, but the flexible and flimsy soled shoes are actually the shoes that are responsible for many foot injuries and they significantly increase strain on the knees, hips and lower back. In fact, the best way to get a stress fracture is to walk barefoot or wear "minimalist" shoes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can add a thin heat-molded insert or a dress orthotic to the Dr. Marten's boot for better arch support. I also like that the boot has plenty of room to add a heel lift to help correct for any limb length discrepancy. It also has a wide toe box and fantastic rearfoot control. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I highly recommend you try on these shoes at the store if at all possible so that you can ensure a proper fit. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span id="goog_1199111840"></span><span id="goog_1199111841"></span>The <b>Nike Air Monarch</b> is an excellent choice for a men's exercise shoe because it meets the four criteria for what a shoe must have to be comfortable and keep your more active with less chance of injury to your feet and ankles. The Nike Air Monarch is not appropriate for hiking on trails as you will need a trail hiking shoe, but the Nike Air Monarch is a perfect go-to shoe for general activities, walking and the gym. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The 4 criteria needed for a shoe to be excellent are:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Thick, rigid and non-flexible sole. </b>Any shoe with a flexible sole will allow too much motion through joints that may be compromised by underlying biomechanical foot issues, previous injuries and arthritic joint damage. It is counterintuitive but all shoes need to have rigid and non-flexible soles so as to protect the joints of the foot, which will then translate into less pain and joint damage. A rigid sole will also prevent the formation of bunions, hammertoes, tendon strain and osteoarthritis. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Wide toe box. </b>A wider toe box means less pressure on the toes, which will slow the progression of bunions, hammertoes, corns, ingrown toenails and even toenail fungus. In my opinion, it is impossible to get rid of toenail fungus if you are wearing tight-fitting shoes because it is <i>injury </i>(even microtrauma)<i> </i>to the toenails that is what allows the fungal spores to set up house in the nail bed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Rearfoot Control. </b>Shoes that do not have rearfoot control force you to grip down your toes to stay in the shoe, which then promotes hammertoes, tendon strain as well as more strain on the knees, hips and lower back. If you have rearfoot issues such as Achilles tendonitis, Posterior Tibial or Peroneal tendonitis, it is very important that your shoes have rearfoot control because less motion gives the tendons a chance to heal. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. It can accommodate a custom-molded orthotic or a good over the counter insert for more arch support. </b>Arch support will decrease strain on the ankles, knees, hips and lower back. It will also help decrease arthritic changes to the Lisfranc's joint and help support the joint for anyone who has had a previous injury to the Lisfranc's joint. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Croc's Neria Pro Graphic Clog </b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Neria Pro Graphic Clog is a slip-resistant shoe that is a great choice for anyone who has to work long hours on concrete floors such as retail, medical or restaurant environments. However, this shoe is not the ideal choice for anyone works on uneven, rocky terrains. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What makes this clog excellent is that it meets the four criteria needed to make a shoe comfortable:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. It has a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole. </b>For a shoe to be comfortable it must have a thick, rigid sole with no flexibility. If you are wearing a shoe with a flexible sole then you are allowing excessive motion through joints that may be arthritic, dysfunctional or painful. Motion through these joints will increase pain, injury and promote arthritic joint changes, which then leads to compensating gait patterns which then further aggravates your knees, hips and lower back strain. Flexible-soled shoes speed up the progression of bunions, hammertoes and degenerative joint changes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Wide toe box. </b>A tight-fitting toe box promotes hammertoes, bunions, corns, ingrown toenails and even toenail fungus. If you are trying to get rid of toenail fungus I can promise you that if you are in tight-fitting shoes with flexible soles that you will never get rid of it. For you to effectively treat fungal nails, it is crucial that you wear shoes with rigid soles, wide toe box and rearfoot control because it is the <i>injury </i>(even micro-trauma)<i> </i>to toenails that allows the fungus to get into the nail and nail bed which is what promotes the infection. Always try to find shoes with a wide and soft toe box that protects the toenails from injury. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Rearfoot Control. </b>If you are wearing shoes without rearfoot control (such as flip-flops or mules) then you are forced to grip down your toes which promotes hammertoes and bunions. It also allows more motion through the rearfoot area which can set you up for Achilles tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis (heel pain) as well as knee, hip and lower back strain. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Arch support. </b>It's ideal if you can find a shoe with a removable insole so that you can replace it with your custom-molded orthotics or an excellent over-the-counter insert such as a full-length Powerstep. Even if you think that you have a high arch and don't need arch support, I always tell patients that bridges have arches and engineers still put struts under the bridges to decrease mechanical strain. Arch support helps prevent midfoot (Lisfranc's Joint) arthritic changes, plantar fasciitis (heel pain) as well as decrease knee, hip and lower back pain. <b> </b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These two Hoka One One shoes are an excellent choice for most patients with finicky feet. </span><span style="font-size: large;">What makes these two shoes so good are that they both meet the 4 criteria that a shoe needs to be comfortable:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. A thick, rigid sole with no motion or flexibility.</b> Less motion through painful or sore joints means less inflammation, less swelling and less damage to the joints. All of this translates into less pain! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. A wide toebox, </b>which puts less pressure on toes which stops or slows the progression of bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, corns. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Rearfoot control.</b> If you are walking in shoes without rearfoot control you are scrunching down your toes to stay in the shoe and that promotes hammertoes, bunions, tired leg syndrome as well as knee, hip and lower back discomfort. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Crocs Specialist is my "go to" bedroom slippers and they work for 90% of patients - and myself! I recommend that you wear the strap to the back for more rearfoot control. If you are walking in the house barefoot or wearing only socks or are in flimsy bedroom slippers, if you switch to wearing these Crocs as a bedroom slipper in the house, then you will have 30% improvement in foot, knee, hip and lower back pain within 3 weeks. Don't get the Specialists <i>with</i> vents because the sole is too flimsy and they are not nearly as good. They don't work as well if you have extremely narrow feet. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These fleece-lined Crocs are wonderful for anyone who has cold feet, Raynaud's syndrome, peripheral arterial disease or you simply just need more cushioning. They also work great for older people who need something easy to slide into and need to keep their feet warm. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Orthofeet Diabetic Slippers are my recommendation for older patients or anyone with back pain because you can slip into them without having to bend down and adjust any straps. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These weird-looking slippers are excellent for anyone who has flexible hammertoes. These slippers help to resist soft tissue contraction of the tendons that are pulling the toes into the hammertoe deformity, which helps to slow the progression of hammertoes. They are not going to fix the hammertoes, but they will help slow down the progression of the deformity. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For those of you can't deal with the aesthetics of the Crocs, this is a great alternative for bedroom slippers. Especially if you have teenagers with challenged feet that need to wear better slippers in the house, this is a great "starter drug" to better shoe gear. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Birkenstock Sandals</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Birk sandals are an excellent choice for anyone who has hallux limitus, functional hallux limitus, arthritis of the 1st toe joint or the Lisfranc's joint. I recommend that you go to a Birkenstock dealership in your area and be properly fitted for them. I highly recommend that you get the Birks with the rearfoot strapping as helps to biomechanically control the rearfoot. Without rearfoot strapping, you are gripping down your toes to stay in the Birks, which can promote hammertoes and mechanical strain to the tendons and joints. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Podiatrist Top 10 Recommendations </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">to </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Alleviate Foot Pain</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>The Basics</i></span></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Stop Walking Barefoot. </b>This is absolutely crucial! We are living longer and we are living on concrete floors. It's your feet versus the concrete and the concrete <i>is</i> going to win. Walking barefoot leads to arthritic joint changes, degenerative joint disease, stress fractures, tendonitis, and promotes knee, hip and lower back pain (to name a few). If you do not stop walking barefoot, the foot pain will never resolve.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Stop walking around the house wearing only socks. </b>Socks offer only minimal cushioning and they offer zero protection for your joints against the ravages of time and concrete floors. Socks are great for sleeping in or wearing with excellent shoes, but not walking in. The best socks to get are microfiber socks or any man-made fiber socks, which are far superior to cotton socks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Stop wearing flip-flops. </b>Wearing flip-flops is better than walking barefoot, but not much. Even the 'best' flip-flops aren't good enough for your feet as they do not have the added protection of having rearfoot strapping, which I will discuss later in this article. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Stop wearing flimsy bedroom slippers. </b>Flimsy is bad. Ninety percent of slippers are flimsy and they offer only minimal protection for your foot joints. The world is full of flimsy shoes and bedroom slippers because that is what sells and that is what people think they need, but what actually feels much more comfortable and is better for your foot is to have a solid, supportive shoe with a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole. Like a firm mattress that has a cushioned top cover for more comfort, the same idea works with shoes. You need a firm, rigid sole (for more protection and support for your foot) and then it needs a cushioned top. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. As a bedroom slipper, I've listed your best options below. </b>The only time that you should be barefoot and standing is when you are in the shower. I would recommend that you get a cushioned shower mat to stand while in the shower. As soon as you get out of the shower (or bath), step onto a thick, cushioned rug and, right after you dry yourself, immediately put on your bedroom slippers. If you get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, step down directly into your slippers and then stand up and go to the bathroom. At our office, we treat a great deal of injuries that are caused by people walking barefoot between the bed and the bathroom in the middle of the night. Wearing a good slipper will prevent injuries as well as prevent falls for geriatric patients. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Don't purchase the Specialist Crocs that have the vents as they aren't as good. Crocs don't work as well for patients who have narrow feet because they tend to be wide. If you order these online, you need to order the next size up as they only come in full sizes. For instance, if you wear a size 7.5, then order an 8. If you wear a size 8, then order a 9. If your toes are touching the end of the Croc, then they are too small. If they feel too big, then that is the correct size. Remember, you have to be able to slip into them without fussing with the rear foot strap because you are using them as a bedroom slipper. They are only meant to be worn to get you from the bed to the bathroom and while you are puttering around in the morning. Once you are ready for your day, put on better shoes, such as the New Balance choices listed below.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is my favorite choice for geriatric patients because they can slip into it easily and it offers great stability. It only has minimal rearfoot control, but the sole is extremely supportive. If Crocs don't work for you, this is an excellent choice. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Birkenstock Sandals</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For patients who don't like to wear enclosed shoes, the Birkenstock sandal is a good choice. Also, if you have sweaty feet, hot feet or chronic athlete's foot infections, the Birkenstock sandals is an excellent choice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. Wear only excellent shoes! </b>This doesn't mean that you have to spend a fortune on shoes. This only means that you have to know what you are looking for when shopping for new shoes. <b><i>For a shoe to be good enough for your feet, they must meet these three criteria, which are listed below:</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>7. Only wear shoes that have a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole. </b>This concept is counterintuitive, but extremely important. If you are wearing a shoe that is flimsy and flexible, then you are allowing too much motion through your foot joints, which causes joint damage such as osteoarthritis and degenerative joint changes as well as stress fractures, tendinitis, and mechanical strain. For example, if you are recovering from a Lisfranc's Injury and you have just gotten out of a below-the-knee walking boot, then the last thing you want to do is wear a flexible shoe that re-aggravates the injury. You have to continue to protect your foot with a thick, rigid sole that never allows motion through the injured joint. And, yes, that is for the rest of your life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>8. Only wear shoes with a wide toe-box. </b>Pointy-toed shoes cause constant pressure and irritation to the toes, which causes bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, corns, Morton's Neuroma's, and joint damage. It is important that you wear shoes with a wide and preferably soft toe box. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>9. Only wear shoes with rearfoot control. </b>The reason why flip-flops don't work for anyone is that, without rearfoot strapping, then you are forced to scrunch down your toes to stay in the flip-flop, which causes more mechanical strain on your tendons, ligaments, and joints. It also increases your risk of injury as well as strain to your knees, hips and lower back. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>10. Wear arch support. </b>Even if you think that you don't need arch support, the analogy I use is that bridges have arches and engineers put struts under bridges to help decrease stress and strain. Unless you are one of the ten percent of people who cannot tolerate arch support, then I would recommend trying either custom-molded orthotics or at least an excellent over-the-counter insert. Talk to your podiatrist about getting orthotics. Also, most podiatrist offices carry excellent over-the-counter inserts that are much less expensive and quite effective. The over-the-counter insert I recommend is Powersteps, which I've listed below. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Women's New Balance 928</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The NB 928 is an excellent choice for anyone with foot pain. I always recommend that you go to the New Balance store to try them on and get properly measured. Try to go shopping after 2pm when your foot is a little more swollen and ask the store personel to measure your feet. If there is any pressure on your toes, go up a half size or width. Before you purchase the shoe, double check and make sure that the forefoot sole is not bending or flexing! Ten percent of shoes can be defective, poorly made or broken. Do not buy any shoes that have a sole that is bending or flexing. It's a waste of time, money and it defeats the purpose.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Cole Haan ZeroGrand CrissCross is an excellent choice for many foot types. What makes the shoe so good is that it meets three of the four criteria for what you need in an excellent shoe. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First, it has a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole, which helps to prevent the progression of bunions, hammertoes, osteoarthritis, and degenerative changes to joints and tendons. By wearing a rigid-soled shoe you are stopping motion through joints that would otherwise be painful. Less motion through foot joints means less pain, less inflammation, and less swelling. The concept is counterintuitive, but it works. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Second, the sandal has a wide toebox that is crucial for prevention of bunions, hammertoes, corns, blisters and will even help to prevent ingrown toenails and toenail fungus. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Third, the sandal has a strap for rearfoot control, which helps to prevent stress and strain on tendons, ligaments, and joints. When you wear flip flops or any shoes that don't have rearfoot control, you are forced to scrunch down your toes to stay in the shoe, which promotes hammertoes and also causes more strain on the knees, hips and lower back. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
