Slippery feet, abrasions, corns - how to choose shoes to avoid suffering?


Driven by aesthetic and fashion considerations, you can often expose your feet to uncomfortable footwear, such as too high heels or shoes of an ill-fitting size. Uncomfortable and unhealthy shoes can lead to painful abrasions, calluses and even hallux. For this reason, it is worth remembering that taking care of your feet is an investment in your health. Check how to choose shoes so as not to suffer.

How to choose shoes for adults?

Contrary to appearances, choosing the right model of shoes, even for an adult, is not that easy. You have probably suffered from ill-fitting shoes, calluses, abrasions, foot, calf or spine pain. Fortunately, this can be remedied. When choosing footwear, it is worth paying attention to the following guidelines:

  • Size

A well-chosen size is extremely important. Footwear should be neither too big nor too small. If the size is too large, the foot will move and the shoe may rub it. Moreover, wearing such shoes results in unpleasant pain in the feet and calves. Shoes that are too small may lead to foot deformation. A person who wears such shoes puts their foot on its outer edge or on the heel, which can cause pain and even cause flat feet. In well-fitting shoes, the gap between the toe and the toe should be approximately 5 mm.

  • The right shape

When choosing shoes, it is best that the toe of the shoe fits the shape of your foot. It should not oppress or distort it. This may lead to degenerative changes in joints and fingers as well as hallux.

  • Appropriate height

Women's legs look beautiful in high heels. However, if you want to give your legs a rest sometimes but still look stylish, you can choose comfortable pumps, e.g. model Seastar brown pumps with a flat heel or e.g. black melis shoes with open wedges S22.

  • Good sole

The sole is also important in footwear, thanks to which your feet can rest and prevent pain while walking. The sole should be profiled to provide adequate support for the foot. It is the most important in sports shoes because its task is to absorb shocks. Examples of such shoes include: Nike Viale M AA2181-003 running shoes or Asics Gel-FujiTrabuco 7 M G-TX M running shoes 1011A209-600. Their properly profiled soles ensure comfort and stability while walking and at the same time protect the feet against injuries.

  • High quality

Also remember to choose good quality shoes. Footwear made of the cheapest materials will not allow enough air to pass through, which will prevent your feet from breathing and sweating excessively. We recommend e.g. brown wedge pumps Edeo 2354, made with the greatest care from natural leather.

  • Lightness of footwear

When buying shoes, also pay attention to their weight. It's best to keep them as light as possible. This will undoubtedly affect how tired your feet are after walking all day. Heavy footwear makes your legs more tired and may become swollen or painful at the end of the day. We recommend e.g. Asics Gel-Venture 7 Gs Jr running shoes 1014A072-020  with a light and airy upper.

How to choose comfortable shoes for a child?

When choosing footwear for your child, you must be especially careful. Our children's delicate feet are just developing, so they are extremely vulnerable to deformations and various types of abrasions. Remember that the condition of your child's foot has a significant impact on its entire movement system. What should you consider when choosing shoes for children? Above all:

  • Size

Children's shoes cannot be too big or too small. Too big shoes will not provide support for your feet, and too small ones will cause leg and knee pain, abrasions, foot deformities, and flat feet. The distance between the toes and the toe of the shoe should be 5 to 6 mm, and the toe must not restrict the movement of the toes. Shoes should be stable, but at the same time they cannot press or block the foot.

  • Form

Baby shoes should have a round toe to allow the toes to move freely. Shoes, for example, will be a good choice American Club brown Winter boots, boots, zipper, American 1904.

  • Material

The sole, its profile and material are also important. It is best if the entire shoes are made of good quality, soft materials, natural leather or cotton, such as: Bartek navy blue Casual shoes for boys 55599 navy blue made of natural leather, which allows for a perfect fit to the foot without the risk of abrasions.

  • Lacing and upper

Children's shoes can be laced or with Velcro, which is easier to put on and take off. In the case of small children who have recently learned to walk, shoes must have a high upper to provide adequate ankle stabilization, e.g. boys' shoes Ren But 1423 gray Whether Velcro shoes Bartek 11703 for girls.

To sum up, choosing well-fitting shoes is not an easy task, during which it is worth considering a number of factors. When choosing the right footwear, it is worth paying attention to the right size, material from which they are made, sole and shape. Remember that well-selected footwear is extremely important not only for the well-being of your feet, but also for your spine. Therefore, treat purchasing shoes not only as a pleasure, but also as an investment in your health. Check out the shoe models available at KeeShoes and choose the variant that is right for you.
