Dress Shoes and Comfortable, Together at Last: Leading Podiatrist Offers Tips for Selecting Foot-Friendly High Heels and Dress Shoes

(PRWEB) July 6, 2005

It’s no secret that women love to wear high heels and when they do, style is usually valued over comfort. However, today’s dress shoe trends are prompting women to squeeze their feet into shoes that are too tall or narrow, creating heavy pressure on their bones, joints, nerves and blood vessels. This not only results in discomfort while wearing the shoes, it can lead to long-term foot health disorders. So, what can women do to maintain comfort while wearing today’s trendy dress shoes?

“Celebrities often set the stage for today’s style trends, especially regarding footwear,” says Dr. Paul Kasdan, a leading podiatrist and founder of OurFootDoctor.com. “High heel and pointed dress shoes are a leading cause of foot disorders such as plantar fasciitis (pain in the heel or arch) in women and can lead to posture problems. While it’s not necessary to avoid these styles of shoes completely, they should be worn in moderation.”

Dr. Kasdan explains that the number one reason for discomfort is an improper fit. According to a spring 2005 survey administered by OurFootDoctor.com* , 64 percent of female shoe buyers did not have their feet measured before purchasing them and continued wearing the same size shoes for several years. As people age, their feet widen and lengthen. In addition, dress shoe sizes are not consistent throughout styles. Therefore, feet need to be measured and shoes need to be tried on each time a purchase is made.

In addition to these characteristics, Dr. Kasdan offers a simple list of tips for trying on dress shoes:

Mind shoe material. The upper part of the shoe should be made of soft leather and the outer sole should be as thick as possible.

Accommodate arches. Dress shoes should have a well-padded inner sole, providing support for the arch.

Watch those heels. The height of the heel should be 1/2 to one-inch higher than the sole; anything greater will cause the foot to slide forward, creating discomfort.

Encourage wiggle-room. It is ideal for the toe box, or area where the toes lie, to be rounded, not tapered or pointed.

Shop in the afternoon. Feet swell as the day progresses, so it is important to try on new shoes later in the day as opposed to early.

Try a shoe insert. Eliminate the common problem of slipping out of dress shoes by using a very thin orthotic, specially designed for women’s narrow flats and high heels. Try OurFootDoctor.com’s OrthoFeet Women’s Bio-Sole High Heel Dress Inserts or Superfeet DressFit Inserts, which evenly support feet and relieve foot pain and pressure.

Onlineshoes.com and Earth Shoes Anticipate Earth Day With Contest from March 30-April 12

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) March 31, 2010

Changing the world from the ground up isn’t easy, but it’s a goal that Earth Day and Earth shoes share. Onlineshoes.com offers a range of women’s and men’s Earth shoes that look great and feel even better: From March 30 to April 12, check out the new styles for spring and enter to win a pair. (Learn more about Earth shoes and how to enter below.)

Designed to mimic standing in sand, the Kalsø Minus Heel™ shoe was invented by a Danish yoga instructor. The brand’s U.S. debut coincided with the first Earth Day in 1970, lending the innovative shoes their name; a phenomenon was born. Earth shoes disappeared in the late 1970s but were reintroduced a quarter-century later at a 2001 Earth Day celebration. Stylish men’s and women’s Earth shoes, including the earth-friendly, Vegan Society Certified™ Cabo San Lucas 2 sandal, have since been seen on fashion show runways, in the pages of magazines and gracing the feet of celebrities. Dedicated fans include culinary and medical professionals, teachers, students and senior citizens—anyone who’s concerned about healthful comfort.

Why Earth Shoes? By positioning toes 3.7° higher than the heel, Earth shoes’ Kalsø® Negative Heel Technology® shifts bodyweight back, which improves spinal and pelvic alignment and promotes a more natural posture, alleviating back pain. The effects of the lowered heel are further enhanced by comforting, anatomic arch support and Biofoam™ cushioning.

Burn More Calories With Every Step™: Not only do Earth shoes promote enhanced leg and calf toning, tighter thighs, stronger core muscles, straighter posture and improved breathing, but studies have shown that wearing Earth sandals and shoes encourage the body to work more efficiently—by burning four times the fat and 25% more calories, developing more lean body mass, and improving walking speeds. All Earth styles offer these benefits, but the Exer Walk has become a workout favorite.

(Note: Earth Shoe customers are advised to follow the company’s recommendations when wearing Earth shoes for the first time. People should consult with their physician prior to starting any exercise regime.)

“With stylish mary janes, skimmers, mules, dressy sandals, boots and more, these are not your parents’ Earth shoes. From the sporty Exer-Fit Collection to eco-friendly, certified vegan footwear, Earth just keeps getting better,” says Lora Sherod, Onlineshoes.com Buyer.

Earth is commemorating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day and their own 40th birthday by partnering with EarthShare® a respected federation of conservation and environmental nonprofit organizations. For every pair of Earth Footwear purchased from any authorized dealer, Earth will donate $ 5 to EarthShare®. Simply go to Earth’s website and find the “Make Every Day Earth Day” link to register each purchase.

About the Contest: To celebrate Earth Day and the arrival of new styles of Earth Footwear, Onlineshoes.com will be giving away two pairs of men’s or women’s Earth shoes. Simply visit the Onlineshoes.com blog Get in Gear (contest to answer the question, “What’s One Green Thing You’ll Do to Celebrate Earth Day on April 22?” (200 words max). Entries will be accepted from March 30 through April 12; two winners will receive a free pair of Earth shoes of their choice. See the complete contest rules and regulations.

Remember, every pair of Earth shoes does good for your body and, thanks to the EarthShare® partnership, also does good for Mother Earth. So look for your new favorites today!
