posted: Dec. 11, 2020.
Tanner Moore, DPM, the podiatrist at Wickenburg Community Hospital Surgical Clinic recently shared a few quick tips on choosing footwear this holiday season. "One of the most important things to remember is that a shoe should feel comfortable right away. You shouldn't experience any pinching, slipping, or sliding."

"It might seem obvious ,but pay close attention to the toe box. It should be wide enough and long enough so that toes are not cramped or curled. A shoe also needs to provide arch support. If the shoe does not have adequate arch support, this may be remedied by adding a good insole, but you will want to ensure the insole doesn’t cause improper shoe fit," said Dr. Moore.
