Did you know the shoes you wear can influence the way you stand, walk and move and, may even contribute to discomfort in your knees, hips and lower back?
Let's take a closer look! 👇
👠 HIGH HEELS
Elevated heels shift your weight forward and change the position of your ankles, knees and hips, wearing them frequently may increase stress on your lower back and affect your posture.
🩴 THONGS - FLIP FLOPS
Great for a quick trip to the shops or a day at the beach, but many offer minimal arch support and cushioning, they can change the way you walk, particularly if worn for long periods.
👟 SNEAKERS & RUNNING SHOES
Well fitting shoes with suitable cushioning and support can help make walking and movement more comfortable. The best choice depends on your feet, activities and individual needs.
🥿 FLATS & BAREFOOT SHOES
Flat doesn't automatically mean better! Some offer little cushioning, while others may suit your feet perfectly. Comfort, fit and how your body responds are what matter.
🦶 SO, WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR?
✔️ A comfortable, secure fit
✔️ Appropriate cushioning and support for your activities
✔️ Enough room for your toes to move naturally
✔️ Shoes that feel comfortable and allow you to move with confidence
🧠 Remember: Your feet are your foundation for movement, changes in the way you walk can influence how forces travel through your ankles, knees, hips and spine.
And while the right shoes won't fix every postural concern, choosing footwear that suits your body and lifestyle is a simple step towards supporting comfortable movement.
We believe looking after your health is about the bigger picture, including the everyday choices that help you move, feel and function at your best ✨
