Foot Pain May Come from Wearing Shoes That Don’t Fit Correctly

Monday, 18 March 2019 00:00

Research has shown the foot is considered to be one of the most complicated structures of the body. There are numerous bones, tendons, muscles, and ligaments each foot is comprised of. The feet may endure pain and discomfort as a result of bearing the weight of the body for the majority of the day. Wearing shoes that do not fit correctly may be the source of different types of foot pain. These may include corns and bunions. A corn may develop as a result of friction that is caused by two toes rubbing together, or if a toe rubs against a part of the shoe. Bunions may form on the side of the big toe, and it may happen if shoes that are worn are too tight. If you are experiencing any type of foot pain, it is advised that you seek the counsel of a podiatrist who can properly diagnose and treat any foot condition.
