Footwear is one of the most common, and most overlooked, causes of foot pain. Shoes that are too tight, too loose, worn out, or lacking proper support can place extra pressure on your heels, arches, toes, and ankles.
If you notice pain after standing, walking, or exercising, or if your discomfort improves when you switch to a different pair of shoes, your footwear may be the culprit.
At Engela Otto Podiatry, we can assess your foot type, gait, and current footwear to identify whatโs causing the discomfort. Weโll guide you toward shoes that match your arch height, activity level, and daily routine - helping you stay comfortable, supported, and painโfree.
