For years I have had foot and heel pain. First it was heel spurs next is was my bones inverting. I think the bone inverting is the worst by far. Everyday my feet hurt, not ache HURT. So far the only thing that helps is good shoes and the supports my doctor gave me.

Recently though, since starting to work in a kitchen the pain has gotten worse. Now it's feet and leg pain! I think because I'm walking wrong that not only do my feet hurt but my legs, hips and lower back are starting to hurt too.

I've done a lot of research on foot pain and have found out a few interesting facts. Like the fact that our feet do best when walking on surfaces that conform to the shape of the arch, such as sand, dirt and grass. That's where good supporting shoes and arch support come into play. More and more we spend our days on hard flat surfaces which are not good for foot health.  There are several factors to keep in mind when purchasing footwear. Is there good arch support, are they the proper fit ( to big, to wide or narrow or to small) and are they the proper shoe for the activity you are doing. All doctors will agree having your foot measured for shoe size by a professional is a must. So do yourself and your feet  a favor and make sure you have good arch supports and make sure you have the right shoes!
