Having seen a wide variety of patients of different ages, occupations, activities since 2000, foot and ankle Dr. Hoy in Seattle has one suggestion to minimize foot pain.
According to Dr. Hoy, a Seattle podiatric surgeon, the single most important treatment for foot pain is wearing a good quality, supportive shoe. Dr. Hoy, who has seen a wide variety of patients since 2000, advises choosing shoes for their function rather than just style or brand to effectively avoid and treat foot pain. This perspective highlights that even inexpensive brands can offer good support, while certain popular brands might not.
The single most important treatment for foot pain is to wear a good quality, supportive shoe.
Oftentimes, people choose shoes for the style and look. However, to avoid and treat foot pain, shoes should be chosen for function.
Dr. Hoy is often asked what brands of shoes are good. However, it is more important to consider the quality of the shoe itself, instead of the brand. Certain brands can make bad shoes, and inexpensive brands can be good shoes.
If you have foot pain, Dr. Hoy can assess your shoes to see if they contribute to or provide healing for your foot pain.
By assessing each shoe for function, one can go a long way towards comfort and curing painful foot conditions.
