Shoes
 While
orthotic therapy is fundamental in helping you maintain proper structural
and biomechanical integrity, they are not as effective unless they
are worn in a proper pair of shoes. Please keep the following guidelines
in mind when purchasing shoes:
- Buy shoes late in the day, when your foot is the widest
- Try on shoes with the thickest socks you might wear with those
shoes
- Lateral sports such as tennis require shoes that provide strong
lateral support. Running shoes made of a linear movement are not
sufficient
- Do not purchase shoes that are too tight expecting them to stretch
to fit
- Your foot should not slip at all in the shoe
- Check the quality of the shoes. They are often mass-produced
and small errors can lead to huge structural problems. They should
not rock on a flat surface
- The front part of the sole, where your foot bends, should be
flexible
- The toe box (space at the front of your shoes for the toes)
should be high and wide with at least a finger's breadth between
your longest toe and the shoe edge
- Make sure your toes have enough room in the toe box
- Make sure you replace your shoes when they get old and lose
structural support with age
- The heel counter (rigid strip on the back of the heel) should
be as rigid as it provides support for the heel
- Arch shank should be rigid and not deflect when weight bearing
