Kristen Stewart injured herself several days ago while shooting her new film “Snow White and the Huntsman.” She claims that it happened when she was running around the set. This did not stop her from wearing high heels down the red carpet at the premier of her new “Twilight” movie. However, she chose to slip into some more comfortable sneakers for her interviews, saying that her feet were really hurting from wearing her heels.
Our feet bear the brunt of our day to day activities, whether this is standing on them all day at work, running errands around town or doing our latest workout routine. Regardless of the activity, our feet function as the shock absorber to our daily routine. For many of us, we switch between several different pairs of shoes throughout the day. There are the sneakers that we wear for our work out, the dress shoes when we go to work, the slippers to pick up the paper and the times that we are barefoot in our house. Each of these different types of footwear, or lack thereof, provides a different level of support to our feet.
There are many different things that can contribute to foot pain. One of the factors that we often overlook though is our shoes. Did you know that most women wear their high heels a half size smaller than what they should? This is because the design of the shoe requires you to; otherwise, your shoe would be slipping off of your foot with every step. The problem with this is that your feet are being cramped into a smaller space. This leads to blisters on your heel from the shoe rubbing up and down the back of it, blisters on your toes from them rubbing against each other and the shoe, and calluses on the bottom of your feet due to the additional pressure. All of these components combined lead to one unhappy foot. No wonder Kristen Stewart wanted to change into the more comfortable pair of sneakers.
It is important that you get your foot measured at least once a year, allowing you to see if your foot size has changed. This can occur due to a number of things, including weight gain or loss, pregnancy, and aging. Your shoe size is not going to be the same that it was when you stopped growing as a teenager; so it is important that we determine if our shoe size has changed. You may require a different size shoe due to the bone structure of your foot. If you have longer toes than typical, you may need a larger shoe, so that your foot can bend at the proper place for walking. This is something that your podiatrist can help you determine. They will also be able to suggest particular brands of shoes that will fit your shoe needs the best. This will allow you to give those little piggies all the space they need to be happy and pain free!
