So it's not unusual for our foot size to change. Just like our shirts' neck size changes as does our waists' belt size, so might our shoes' size change. That's why it is important to get your feet re-measured.

A mis-fitting shoe can cause a lot of problems. Make sure that your bunion matches up to the widest flare of the shoe and that strumming across the front of the shoe allows a rippling of the material. Lastly, make sure that there's enough room in from of the toes so that they may wiggle freely.

Many young people are in several sports each season. If your children are involved in sports activities - especially those that are hard on their feet such as soccer, basketball, track and football - we here at Affiliated Podiatrists suggest that you be on the lookout for "Overuse Injuries."
Damage can occur to bones, tendons and ligaments in kids' feet and ankles that aren't fully developed. Pain is never normal in a child's foot or ankle! Any pain that lasts a few days should be evaluated in our office.
