It might be time to consider the type of shoes you are wearing if you find yourself suffering with foot pain on a regular basis. Unfortunately, we often underestimate the importance of wearing properly fitted shoes and ill-fitting shoes can be the cause of many problems, from foot pain and discomfort to serious health issues.
Our toes play an important role in our posture, balance and supporting body weight. In doing this, they endure a considerable amount of pressure as they bend and grip to stabilize the feet and lower body. Walking on uneven terrain, such as hiking through the woods, can be challenging to navigate. Our toes help to stabilize us to keep us from losing our balance!
