Ladies Shoes Trends...

One should know the type of foot one has when purchasing shoes, whether one has flat feet, high arches, or neutral feet. For example, a flat-footed person needs a motion control shoe, which is a stiffer, less flexible shoe to help decrease the excess motion inward seen with this type of foot. On the other hand someone with high arches needs a well-cushioned shoe to improve shock absorption since this person has a more rigid, less forgiving foot. For a more in-depth look at footwear based foot types, please refer to McKinley Health Center’s handout “Foot Types and Proper Footwear.”
