TYPES OF FOOTWEAR FOR BETTER MOBILITY Have you tried to find the “right” shoe or been told you need more support but don’t know what that means? The best way to determine what shoe is best for you is to have your body’s biomechanics and gait assessed by one of our Physiotherapy Center LTD physiotherapists.
When choosing a sneaker, boot, or shoe, remember the following:
• Modern shoes rarely need to be broken in. • Make sure you have space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. • The toe box should be snug and not too tight. • Your heel should not slip up and down. • Try the shoes on later in the day. Your feet should feel good while wearing your shoes, and your footwear should never limit activities. Remember to avoid too much cushion, too much support, and spending too much money. No matter what type of shoe you are looking for, our team at The Physiotherapy Center LTD can assess your body and guide you through finding the one that works best for your particular needs!
