WEARING FLAT SHOES CAN CAUSE PLANTAR FASCIITIS

 

 

 

Podiatrist, Dr. Christine Wright states, "it is no secret that high heels can wreak havoc on our feet. However, other shoes that seem comfortable can be just as harmful to our foot health. The shoes can cause a painful condition called plantar fasciitis.“The 'flat, flat' shoes offer no support. Some of them, as I tell people, you might as well walk on cardboard all day.   Plantar fasciitis is the most common condition I treat.  Plantar fasciitis is an abnormal strain or stretch of the long ligament that runs on the bottom of the foot – from the heel to the bottom of the foot, shoes that provide some lift in the heel help to reduce the strain on the plantar fascia. Usually I’m recommending not a flat but something with a chunky heel for dress – nothing that we are going to fall out of, or off, and break our ankle. And for casual, wear a really high quality running shoe."
