The best footwear provides a combination of arch support, firm heel stability, proper cushioning, and a wide toe box. Shoes that hold the heel securely and support the natural alignment of the foot can help reduce pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and flat feet.
If you experience heel pain, arch fatigue, burning in the ball of the foot, or discomfort after extended wear, your shoes may be lacking proper support. Worn-out soles, overly flexible shoes, or footwear with poor cushioning can all lead to increased strain on your feet and ankles.
