Sometimes, ensuring you’re wearing the proper shoe can help alleviate your hip and knee pain. Dr. Erica Martin with ProMedica recommends avoiding heels and or shoes that go to a point to allow your foot to have the space it needs. Trying to find a shoe with good support is important. One way you can see if you are wearing the correct shoe size is with common items that you can find in your home. You can do so by getting the bottom of your foot wet with water and standing on a piece of cardboard. Then, take a market and trace the outline of your footprint before it dries up. You can then take your shoe and line it up with the drawing to see if the current size you’re wearing is too big or too small.
