"When buying shoes, there are 3 letters to remember: FSS - Flexible, Soft, and Supportive," says Joe Schoppe, DPM of Schoppe Foot & Ankle in Stuart, Florida. "Patients with bunions, bone spurs, diabetes, and arthritis can help themselves by buying shoes designed to flex with the foot while offering support. A soft, no-seam interior is also important to reduce the chances of rubbing the foot and causing blisters."

"Clear your closet out of shoes that hurt you," says Dr. Schoppe. He continues, "Women come into my office with foot ailments that can be solved by buying shoes anatomically designed to promote good foot health. They complain about their favorite shoes which constantly hurt them, but they love the style. I tell them to throw or give them away; these shoes are only doing harm. It is best to invest in a good pair of shoes that are designed to keep your foot and body healthy."
