Often
changing your style or size of shoes may help relieve many
common foot problem. Carefully review the shoes in your
closet. Check their fit and discard any that have seams
and stitching over painful corns or have worn out innersoles
that offer too little protection for calluses on the ball
and heel of your foot.
   Make sure shoes are wide enough for your feet and have enough depth in the toe area to allow minimal pressure on the toes. To demonstrate whether your shoes are of adequate size and shape, place your foot on a blank sheet of paper and trace the shape of your foot. Then, place the shoe in question on top of your foot tracing. You may be surprised, as are many people, that your shoes are actually smaller and narrower than your feet. Try to imagine the forces present in that shoe when you squeeze your foot into it and then walk at any speed. Ouch !
