Today we are going to take a look at the natural structure of our feet in comparison to the structure of our shoes. Often, we are placing our feet into shoes that alter their natural shape. When this occurs, it causes foot-related problems such as bunions, plantar fasciitis and Morton’s Neuroma.
Step 1: Grab two pieces of paper.
Step 2. Place each foot on the paper and trace them.
Step 3: Cut out your feet tracings.
Step 4: Place your shoes on the appropriate shoe cut out and compare your “natural” foot to the shape of the shoe.
Step 5: Consider how your shoes may be contributing to your foot related problems and then donate the ones that aren’t serving you well any longer.
Are there certain brands of footwear you would recommend?
This is a great question. Here is a list that I refer to when choosing shoes. https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/shoes-the-list/
During my 14 day foot challenge I also talk a lot about shoes and how to choose ones that are healthy for your feet. Happy shopping!
