General Foot Disorders
Tip: Shopping for shoes is best done in the afternoon, says the American Podiatric Medical Association. Your feet tend to swell a little during the day, and it's best to buy shoes to fit them then. Have your feet measured every time you purchase shoes, and do it while you're standing. When you try on shoes, try them on both feet; many people have one foot larger than the other, and it's best to fit the larger one.
Sports Medicine and Your Feet
Tip: Walking is the best exercise for your feet. It also contributes to your general health by improving circulation, contributing to weight control and promoting all around well being.
