Believe it, there is nothing better than a good pair of shoes. Runners know this better than most, here are some simple solutions that can alleviate foot and lower leg pain.
Symptoms:
People constantly complain about their shoes rubbing the tops of the feet, their toes feel too restricted, the shoe feels too tight on the top of your feet, or your heels slip up and down.
Solution:
Try lacing up your shoes with these alternate lacing methods to reduce the pain.
Most shoe laces have no elasticity to them. Identify where the pain is on your foot, and how it manifesting itself. Try these various shoe lace techniques to relieve pressure on the problem spot.
• If you have a wide foot, leave the first few eyelets unlaced.
• If you have a high instep (arch), skip all but the very few tip eyelets and lace up the sides with no crossover.
• If you have a narrow foot, double back through the extra loops in the mid foot for greater tightening.
Remember that foot size and type will largely determine how well your shoes will fit. If you continue to have trouble perhaps you need to consider other shoe options or perhaps you may have a more serious foot condition that necessitates consult The Podiatrist for an assessment.
