What is the cause of most foot problems?
A. Shoes that don’t fit properly are the source of many foot problems – the higher the heel, the worse the problems tend to be. Slip-on shoes are one of the worst culprits, as they cause the foot to slide forward and cramp the toes. Worst of all are court shoes, as they are low-fronted, giving no support to the foot, and tend to be too narrow in the toe box. If you have foot problems, it is important to look at the cause, which is most likely to be your shoes. For frequent, everyday wear, choose a low-heeled shoe – no higher than 4 cm – which has a rounded toe. Find out more in our shoe section.
