| Not all feet are created the same. The image
here shows two feet that have the same overall length and width, but have
very different arch lengths. How do they each find the correct fit? Most
long arched people think that a wider shoe will fix the problem. This
does help address the width issue but will not take care of the lack of
support. |
|
This is what the long arch foot looks like when fitting
only for foot length. The widest part of this foot will be too far forward
in the toe box causing discomfort. This foot needs a shoe with a much
rounder toe box and a larger platform to better match the arch. |
|
This diagram shows how the longer arch should properly
fit into the shoe. By increasing the length (shoe size, but not width)
the arch can better match that of the shoe shape. This additional support
can make all the difference between a happy foot that is pain free and
a cramped foot that is prone to bunions, arch pain, and many other issues. |
