CAUTION: Ugg Boots May Be Ruining Your Feet!

As the temperature begins to drop many women gravitate towards the warm and stylish Ugg Boots. This style of boot became popularized by many celebrities within the past couple of years. However, the price to pay for being fashion forward may be your posture in the long run.

Ugg Boots provide less than desirable arch support. People that wear them all day are therefore overworking the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones within the foot. The lack of support in the arch ultimately results in ankle, hip, leg, and back problems.  It is reported that the cheaper knock offs of this style boot have even less support than the original.

If you are planning to wear Ugg Boots, which I'm sure many of you are, it is crucial that you have some type of shoe inserts. In our offices we provide over the counter and custom made shoe orthotics. We can fit you in  the office for one of our over the counter inserts that you can take home that day with you. Or if you are looking for an insert personalized to your foot we can take a custom mold which will be ready for you within just a couple weeks.

If you are interested in helping your feet this winter don't hesitate to call our offices. We are always happy to answer any of your questions or to schedule you for an appointment.
