Are you one of those women who purchases shoes that are “really cute” without actually paying attention to how comfortable they are? Do you wear shoes just for looks and figure that it is worth a little pain? A lot of women have these sorts of bad habits, which also include things like assuming you will be able to break in a pair of shoes so that they are more comfortable. It wouldn’t be shocking if you also said that you had to deal with back pain. They type of shoes you wear really can make a difference in whether or not you suffer from this condition. One brand that can help make this more unlikely is Dansko shoes.
First of all, Dansko shoes are made with thick soles that contain shock absorption. This means you can wear them for longer and not only be more comfortable walking around on hard pavement, but the shock of your feet hitting the pavement is less likely to travel up through your joints to give you back pain.
Dansko shoes also have a certain amount of cushioning built into the sole. This makes it less likely that the bit of pounding the pavement that you do will harm you arches if they are rigid. Of course it also contributes to the comfort of the shoe, whether you are in motion or standing still.
These are some of the reasons why many of these shoes have gotten the APMA Seal of Acceptance. This is the American Podiatric Medical Association award showing the shoes promote foot health, rather than damaging it like some of the shoes out there, including those with super high spiky heels that women like to wear
Anything that harms your feet is likely to eventually harm the rest of your body as it will have to compensate for the damage that is done. This is why it is so important that you choose the right shoes. Those made by Dansko are great for walking and daily use, and they even make some for professionals that have to stand all day. Of course if you are practicing any sports, you will need to get the proper shoes for whichever sport you are participating in as they will have the features you need to keep you feet (and ankles, knees, and back) healthy while participating in that particular sport.
Wearing comfortable shoes that are good for your feet does not have to mean wearing ugly shoes, however. There are all sorts of different options for clogs, sandals, Mary Jane’s and other styles that both look and feel great.
