A Few Facts About Shoes and Foot Problems
You wear shoes everyday. Wearing the right type of shoe for your foot is very important so that you will not have foot problems.
Poorly fitting shoes can cause bunions, corns, calluses, hammertoes, and other disabling foot problems.
The cost of foot surgery to correct foot problems from tight-fitting shoes is $2 billion a year, according to the AAOS. If time off from work for the surgery and recovery is included, the cost is $3.5 billion.
