How To Choosing the Right Shoes and Insoles Eliminates Foot and Back Pain etc

We wear shoes every day, but most people don't pay much attention to the science of footwear. When buying shoes, some women, in pursuit of fashionable styles, force themselves to adapt to ill-fitting shoes. However, wearing inappropriate shoes is considered the main cause of foot pain, damaging foot muscles and tendons. A study by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society reveals that women troubled by foot pain are about nine times more than men, and the main reason is wearing the wrong shoes.

For example,  women love the elongated and graceful appearance when wearing high heels, but the damage caused by high heels is the most severe. High heels shift our center of gravity forward, causing pain in the metatarsophalangeal joint below the big toe. Additionally, the raised heel elongates the plantar fascia, leading to soreness in the sole over time. Furthermore, with pointed-toe shoes, the toes are squeezed forward, leading to bunions. In severe cases, toe deformities, joint contractures, hallux valgus, claw toes, and hammer toes can occur, along with the formation of unsightly corns.

Apart from ill-fitting shoes, using the wrong insoles can also lead to incorrect pressure points between the feet and the ground, causing pain. Moreover, foot health affects overall metabolism, blood circulation, and is interconnected with spinal, lumbar, back, and joint problems, leading to symptoms such as back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, irritability, and depression, truly illustrating the concept of "one foot affects the whole body."

Choosing the Right Shoes and Insoles Eliminates Foot and Back Pain

Sixty-seven-year-old Mrs. Koh from Singapore visited a doctor in 2017 due to foot pain. After an X-ray revealed no issues, the doctor suggested she buy custom-made shoes. Coincidentally, she saw an advertisement for Happy Walker in the newspaper and bought a pair of orthopedic shoes, along with customized insoles. She has been wearing them for two years now, with no foot pain issues since.

She mentioned that since wearing Happy Walker shoes and insoles, she hasn't had the chance to wear any other shoes because she's so accustomed to them that other shoes feel uncomfortable. She has now purchased a second pair of Happy Walker shoes, also fitted with custom insoles. She even recommended her sister to buy shoes from there.

Following her sister's advice, Mrs. Siew Tiang also bought a pair of shoes from Happy Walker and customized insoles. After wearing them for over a year, she finds them very comfortable, and walking doesn't tire her. She has since bought two more pairs of shoes from Happy Walker, including a pair of sports shoes, each paired with custom insoles. The sisters even added slip-resistant soles to their shoes, and Mrs. Siew Tiang added adjustable straps for tightening.

Fifty-year-old Mrs. Lee Nian Ci, who holds a Ph.D. and works as a private enterprise's psychological counselor, has had a ten-year relationship with Happy Walker. Initially, she bought a pair of shoes and found walking very comfortable. After having custom insoles made, she felt even more comfortable.

Mrs. Lee said she originally had foot pain issues and couldn't walk long distances, as it would lead to back pain. Since having custom insoles made, she has had no foot or back pain issues. As a loyal customer of Happy Walker, she has purchased many pairs of shoes and insoles. She said, "I have two pairs of closed shoes, two pairs of sandals, and a pair of shoes with a bit of a heel. They last a long time, and I can wear them every day."
