“I am convinced my shoes caused my plantar fasciitis”
Almost all the shoes we are wearing are slowly causing foot pain and deformity. This does not happen overnight, but rather from years of wearing shoes that aren’t shaped like your feet, elevated in the heel and not functional for standing or walking in.
👟 Pointy toe boxes: cramps your toes into a narrow toe box which throws off the function of your plantar fascia and can cause bunions, crooked toes and pain
🩴 Slides: like the name suggests they slip and slide off of your feet
👠 High heels: shortens your calf muscles, forces your toes into a narrow toe box and causes pain
Avoid these types of shoes to reduce or prevent foot pain. Check out STRYDA shoes, the shoes I designed to fight your plantar fasciitis: www.stryda.com.au
