PODIATRIST OFFERS TIPS FOR HEALTHY OFFICE FOOTWEAR
posted: Oct. 16, 2019.
From surgeons to chefs, people who spend long hours standing at work take steps to ensure their feet stay healthy, including wearing comfortable, supportive shoes. Yet, even people who sit in offices all day can benefit from the right footwear.
“If you don’t work with heavy equipment or aren’t on your feet a lot, you may think the most important thing to consider when choosing work shoes is how professional they look,” says Dr. Joseph Caporusso, a podiatrist and president of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). “But even if you’re just walking from meeting to meeting or from the train station to your office, ill-fitting or non-supportive shoes can cause discomfort, injury, and long-term health problems. It’s important to make good footwear choices, whatever your profession.”
