Budget Footware
Our footwear both protects our feet and provides support to them, which is why we use them every day during almost all of our waking hours. This makes them probably the most important thing that we will buy as clothing.
Over 12% of the bones in your body are in your feet. As improperly fitting footwear can worsen, or even cause foot problems that can cost you pain, discomfort or expensive medical treatment, avoiding these problems by buying properly fitted shoes makes a lot os sense.
Each day an average person will take about 10,000 steps, with each step averaging 2 1/2 feet, that's 45,000 feet! or nearly 5 miles daily! In an average lifetime a person will walk the equivalent of three times around the world!
With all the use our feet are given, we need to make sure that we take good care of them to help them to "last a lifetime". Podiatrists say that 80%-90% of women wear improperly fitted shoes, which causes a number of painful, and often expensive, problems.
These problems include fatigue, bunions, corns, lower back pain, and calluses. Improperly fitted shoes can even cause accidents if you are not careful!
