It’s great to see that even Dr. Oz is helping to educate people about the benefits of wearing the right shoes to keep your feet healthy. Check out this Dr. Oz show video to see what he has to say about determining your arch type – normal, flat, or high, and what the wear patterns on your shoes can tell you about your feet, so you can be sure when you’re shopping for shoes that you find the best shoe for you.
And from my perspective as a foot-fitness expert… good shoes can help support your feet, but keeping your foot, ankle, and leg muscles strong, fit, and flexible is even better. Even if it’s only for 2-3 minutes a couple of times a week. Taking time to exercise your feet can help improve your arches, retrain gait habits, and help you enjoy pain-free feet! Check out the book Fantastic Feet! And lots of other great foot-care goodies here.

It’s amazing what technology is able to do and humans are able to create to help improve the lives of others! The iWalk prosthetics company has created the worlds’ first actively powered foot and ankle! Their PowerFoot One is designed to give amputees an ease of movement that is natural. This prosthetic limb makes approximately 500 adjustments every second! It’s computer processors have a library of known human foot movement patterns to help anticipate what the foot and ankle need to do. Incredible!!! It’s great to know that the opportunity to restore a more normal quality of life with this technological advancement might be possible after the loss of a limb. Our feet are so important. I hope that in time, these prosthetic devices will become affordable for the people who really need them.

Just tripped across a video news clip from WNBC on Tips for Avoiding High Heel Pain. Oh the things women do in the name of looking good and feeling sexy! So how many of you have experienced foot, ankle, knee, hip, or back pain and now are thinking your poor-fitting shoes might be part of the problem? Or perhaps you never realized that your stilettos might be a big part of the problem… Our feet (as well as the rest of our body) shouldn’t hurt. Pain is the red-flag that there is something we need to pay attention to and take care of. Ignoring things and hoping that it will just go away is never a great option.
