Are your shoes the right size for your feet?
Many patients unknowingly wear shoes that are too short, which can lead to pain, pressure, and long-term foot problems. Dr. Mam shares a simple tip to help you find the right fit when buying shoes.
✔ Make sure there is about a thumb’s width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
✔ The longest toe may be your big toe or your second toe.
✔ Lace your shoes properly and walk around to ensure the heel sits comfortably in the back.
Small adjustments can make a big difference in your foot health.
