You may be naturally slim and your feet have less cushioning than you desire or you may have a medical condition such as diabetes that has altered your feet and reduced the amount of adipose (fat) tissue. Whatever the cause, you may be having difficulty finding shoes that fit comfortably and do not irritate your feet. The most common symptom may be discomfort after log periods of walking either from lack of padding at the ball of the foot or from irritation at the heel area or around the toes. There are many features to look for in a shoe that will make it more comfortable for boney feet.
Instructions
1. Have both feet measured. Your feet may be slim, but they may not be narrow. Often people have a C fitting or above and they still have very boney feet.
2. Find a shoe with a padded collar around the heel. This will prevent the edge of the shoe from cutting into your flesh. In some specialty shoe stores, you can also find a variety of materials that will not irritate your toes and the top of your foot. A specialty shoe store usually accommodates foot problems associated with many medical conditions.
3. Avoid shoes with stitching or seams that run across your foot. This will only add pressure to a susceptible area and can cause corns, calluses, blisters or bruises.
4. Find a shoe with a lace or a strap. A lace or a strap also holds your foot in place so that it does not slip forward in the shoe. You can add padding at the tongue of the shoe to prevent it from irritating your foot.
5. Choose a shoe with lots of cushioning in the sole. You do not, however, want the sole to be too flexible. Many sneakers provide cushioning, so you may decide to wear this style of shoe when you are on your feet a great deal.
6. Visit your podiatrist with you new shoes to have them checked and perhaps slightly modified. Your doctor may add padding into the shoes to make them more comfortable.
