Sizes are measured by U.S. shoe size.
- BunionsSome people have foot problems that require a certain type of shoe just to accommodate the problem. On the other side of the equation if one wears shoes that do not fit properly then this can cause a diverse number of foot conditions including bunions, calluses and corns, plantar fasciiitis, and other problems such as ingrown toenails and hammertoe. Many people are familiar with what a bunion is, these are bumps that appear around the joint of the big toe and they can be quite painful. The build up of dead skin cells results in corns which are irritated and increased by wearing improperly fitting shoes that rub your feet or toes. The usual spot that these are found is on the toes and usually result in a cone shape center exposing the nerve endings which results in a great deal of pain and discomfort.A foot condition that is similar to corns is that of calluses because they too are created from dead skin cells and are the result of the body reacting to pressure and friction, much the same as a sun tan is the r...

- CallusesA foot condition that is similar to corns is that of calluses because they too are created from dead skin cells and are the result of the body reacting to pressure and friction, much the same as a sun tan is the result of getting in sunlight, whereas a sunburn is too much sun. The prevention of these simple foot conditions is quite easy if you make sure to choose properly fitting footwear with a wide toe area so that the shoe doesn't restrict the movement of your toes.
- Sports MedicineKnee braces - also known as knee supports and knee pads - are used primarily as protective gear to address several physical conditions and prevent knee-related problems. These braces are a prominent fixture in sports medicine, particularly with injured athletes. Some sports medicine experts classify knee braces into two simple categories. Functional knee braces are used by patients with an ACL tear, damaged ligaments or other injuries to substitute for the injured body part. Individuals using these braces are able to continue doing some activities without requiring surgery. Although functional braces will never be a perfect or permanent replacement to normal ligaments, they definitely offer adequate protection in low-load situations, giving the knee greater stability compared to having no braces at all.1. Consult Your DoctorOne who is considering wearing a functional knee brace should consult with a doctor. The decision to use the brace would depend on the particular ligament injured, the sport the individual...

- Flat FeetThe most common cause of heel pain and heel spurs is a condition called Plantar Fasciitis (sometimes misspelled Planter Fascitis). This is Latin for inflammation of the Plantar Fascia. The Plantar Fascia is the broad band of fibrous tissue that runs under the foot and that forms your arch. Because of a number of different factors the plantar fascia are being overly stretched and this continuous pulling results in inflammation and pain at the heel, at the point where the ligaments insert into the heel bone.Over-pronation of the feet (fallen arches + rolling inward of the feet and ankles), tight calf muscles, as well as ageing and being overweight are the main causes for the plantar fascia being overly stretched. There are many ways to treat Plantar Fasciitis, including cortisone injections and surgery. However, in most cases heel pain relief can be achieved through self-help by following a number of easy, simple steps, most of which are aimed at reducing the pulling of the plantar fascia.1.

- HammertoesHammertoes are another common condition that can cause a great deal of pain and also occurs from wearing shoes that do not fit as they should. If you have ever had an ingrown toenail you know that it can result in a great deal of pain. This condition is from the toenail growing into the skin and can also be avoided in many cases by wearing shoes that are not too tight.
