If your feet hurt, you probably don't have to look any further than your shoes to find the reason.
Many people have foot problems because they wear the wrong footwear.
Some of the problems caused by poorly fitting shoes may become severe enough to require surgery, but with proper education this can often be avoided. If you want to get shoes with the right fit, you need to know what kind of foot you have and match your footwear to your foot type. You need to know the shape of your foot. If you have rigid high-arched feet, you need good cushioning because rigid feet don't absorb shock well. These feet will pass the stresses of movement to your lower legs, knees and hips, which can then develop problems, too.
