4 Common Types of Shoes That Cause Pain

Foot Health & Wellness

Shoes are essential in our daily lives, but some types of shoes can cause pain and discomfort, especially if they lack proper support and cushioning. In this article, we’ll talk about the four most common types of shoes that cause pain and how Aetrex products can help alleviate foot pain.

 

Flip Flops

Flip flops are popular summer footwear, but they can cause significant foot pain due to their lack of support and cushioning. The thin sole and flat footbed can lead to pain in the balls of the feet and heels. Most flip flops are flimsy and are made from cheap materials that can cause you to trip and fall.

The Aetrex Maui Orthotic Flips, however, have built-in orthotic support that helps align your feet and reduce pressure on the balls of your feet and heels. The cushioning throughout the footbed provides superior comfort for all-day wear. The Maui features a soft toe post for extra comfort and a dual-density outsole to help relieve pressure from the ball-of-foot and heel area.

Flats

Flats are stylish and versatile shoes that many women enjoy wearing, but they can also cause pain and discomfort due to their lack of arch support and cushioning. Flat shoes cause a lot of pressure and are usually restricted near the toe area.

The Aetrex Dress Orthotics are an excellent solution to make your favorite flats more comfortable. These orthotics are designed to fit comfortably into most flats and offer extra cushioning and arch support, reducing pressure on the balls of your feet and heels. You can even put them into other shoes that do not have a removable insole like sneakers and loafers.

Boots

Boots are a popular winter footwear choice, but they can be heavy and unsupportive, causing pain in the balls of the feet and heels. Heavy boots can cause a lot of shock and pressure on the foot which can increase chances of spraining your ankle.

With a built-in orthotic footbed and cushioning, the Aetrex Luna boots provide exceptional comfort and support. They feature a dual-density outsole and have a zipper for easy on and off.

High Heels

High heels are a fashion staple, but they can cause pain and discomfort due to the pressure on the toes, balls of the feet, and heels. High heels usually have tight and narrow toe boxes that can cause bunions and hammertoes.
