Cary Gannon, DPM, podiatric surgeon and founder of Aila Cosmetics, says that about 90 percent of the people who come into her office are wearing shoes that are two sizes too small. “As we get older, our feet increase in size and shape, and so our foot size increases,” Gannon says.

“We continually go and purchase the same size, but we forget that as we age, kind of everything about our body changes… a ton of foot pathology is actually manageable or corrected by just putting people in the right size shoe.”
