Did you know that less than 20% of all people have feet that don’t require any additional support to hold the weight of their body?

This leaves people vulnerable to foot pain caused by conditions such as heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, corns, bunions, hammertoe, ankle sprains, fractures, and more.

But even though you may not have perfect feet, that doesn’t mean you have to worry about enduring chronic foot pain for the rest of your life.

The right orthopedic shoes customized specifically for your feet means chronic pain and the conditions just mentioned either won’t happen to you, or will be minimized to such a degree that they don’t interrupt your everyday life.

Take a second to learn about the many benefits of orthopedic shoes:

• Supports the Shape of Your Feet

Orthopedic shoes are fully customized specifically for your feet.

You can find plenty of comfortable shoes produced for the masses. But those don’t necessarily give your feet the support they need to avoid chronic foot pain.

For example, orthopedic shoes can offer better arch support via their insoles.

This eliminates excessive pronation (the way your foot rolls inward to distribute the impact as it lands), which is a main cause of foot pain.

These insoles reduce pressure on the heel and ball of your feet by transferring much of your body weight to the arch of your foot.

Insoles and orthopedic shoes do much more to support your feet. This is just one example.

• Improve Blood Flow to Your Feet

Do you suffer from diabetic nerve pain?

Then you know how, over time, it becomes difficult to notice any injuries that happen to your feet.

Fortunately, orthopedic shoes improve circulation to your feet. The arch support they offer, which your feet may naturally lack, makes this possible.

Orthopedic shoes can make such a difference with blood flow that they can ultimately prevent you from needing an amputation.

• Reduce Any Type of Foot Pain and Possibly Even Heal Underlying Issues

If you’re like the typical person, you take about 5,000 – 10,000 steps per day.

Imagine how, slowly over time, each of those steps becomes a little more painful because you don’t have shoes that properly support your body weight.

Decades of walking in a way that’s not ideal for your body can lead to serious pain!

Most issues that you experience happen because of easily correctable problems with your arches or because of misalignment.

Orthopedic shoes give your toes more room, prevent your heels from sliding too far forward, and correct misalignment issues.

This can greatly reduce your pain nearly immediately, and possibly even heal underlying causes of foot pain.

Orthopedic Shoes Simply Make Good Sense for Reducing Foot Pain

Not only do orthopedic shoes help you keep your foot pain in check, but they also come in attractive styles just like any other type of footwear.
