Essential Tips and Hints

Expert Comments about Womens Shoes in Wide Widths

Q. I've been told that footwear in wider widths can help relieve womens foot pain. My problem is that I really enjoy wearing high heels to the office, even though it's not very comfortable. Do you have any suggestions?

A. Try this. Continue to wear high heels, but limit the amount of time you keep them on your feet. You can alternate them with good quality flats for a portion of the day. For weekends and more casual use, you can choose comfort shoes which will relieve your foot pain.

Q. I have some very nice high heels but the soles are too thin for me.

A. To create additional cushioning for the foot, take your foot apparel to a shop and have them cement a thin rubber sole to the bottom of the shoe.

Q. My sister told me that the pantyhose I wear could contribute to my problems with hammertoe. Is that possible?

A. Yes, it is possible.  We have heard of one noted specialist in the field of ankle and foot disorders who has offered the idea that the pressure from inexpensive nylon hose could contribute to hammertoes and even ingrown toenails, as strange as it may sound. Nylons could also stimulate undue perspiration and lead to fungal infections similar to athlete's foot.
