Running shoes

Using running shoes for walking is not a good idea. Most running footwear has soft soles that work great at preventing stress to your feet while running. Walking in such shoes won’t provide your foot with enough support. Too soft soles will also eliminate the stress needed for your foot to strengthen itself.

Shoes with laces

If your comfy shoes have laces make sure you keep them tied tight. It’s bad if your feet slip around in a shoe as it can cause blisters and won’t provide enough arch support.

Make sure your shoe laces are of good quality or they will break apart pretty quickly.

Comfortable insoles

Most walking shoes come with comfortable insoles with good heel and arch support. If you have shoes that have a slim insole, soles that has warned out or wretched replace them with new and more comfortable ones like Dr. Scholl’s Massaging Gel Work Insoles:

Another option to make foot bed comfortable is to use orthotics. These are special types of insoles that provide more support to the foot in the right places.

Replace the insoles if your heel start to hurt in the shoes. This maybe due to the wrong support of your arches, heel or base of the foot.

Shoe sole coming off

After a while some soles may start to come loose. This is happens especially often with rubber on front of the shoes. The soles falling off is not a serious problem and can be dealt with by gluing the rubber back once in a while. Use some good quality shoe glue and you will be able to wear your favorite shoes longer.

Smelly shoes

If your shoes start smelling after you wear them it means that there is bacteria trapped in the material. Do not throw them away at once! Try to freshen them up and they will last longer.
