Shoes that do not fit one’s feet properly can cause various conditions that can interfere with daily activitiesMakati Medical Center orthopedic surgeon Dr. Charles Rainier F. Arandia emphasizes the importance of proper shoe fit to prevent foot problems and maintain overall health.
Dr. Arandia warns that neglected foot issues can also affect the knees, hips, and lower back. “Wearing improper shoes adds strain to these areas, misaligning muscles, ligaments, and joints, which can lead to back pain and altered gait,” he said. Foot arch is also important. Dr. Arandia suggests those with high arches select shoes with cushioned midsoles for shock absorption, while individuals with flat feet should choose shoes with rigid midsoles for added support. Comfort should always be a priority, and shoes should be tried on while standing and walking to ensure proper fit.
