Shoes for health and safety

Here are some tips for buying shoes that protect your foot health:

Size. Have both of your feet measured every time you buy shoes. Since your . feet may not be the same size, choose shoes that are 1/2 inch longer than your longest toe. Blisters, ulcers and bunions are often linked to shoes that are too small. Buy shoes late in the day . as feet tend to swell.

If the shoe fits, buy it!


Design. Don't let style alone guide  your choice of shoes. The inside of the :shoe should be soft with no inside seams or rough areas that can cause blisters or sores to form.

Material. Leather and canvas shoes are the best choices for letting your feet "breathe." They also bend with your foot, so won't rub and make blisters.

Tips for buying shoes that protect your safety include:

Design. Get shoes with closed toes and injury and provide support. The heel should be as wide as your foot, and no higher than 1.5 inches (3 cm) , to keep your ankles from twisting and your back from aching. Running or walking shoes tend to be more comfortable and can make you more sure-footed.

Sole. Soles that provide grip are best.
