Why You Need Fitflops

by lindseys

Yesterday I got my seventh pair of Fitflops. I feel like I can’t walk in anything else. They are so comfortable! Whenever I go work out or wear a pair of heels and my feet, legs, back are hurting I can’t wait to put them on. Not only are they cute, but they are good for your body. You have to try a pair of Fitflops.

Benefits

FitFlop footwear is biomechanically engineered to help tone and tighten your leg muscles while you walk in them. Studies at the Centre for Human Performance at LSBU show that normal walking in FitFlop sandals(1) can help:

- increase leg, calf and gluteal muscle activity,

- improve your posture,

- simulate aspects of barefoot walking but with more muscle load,

- improve muscle tone.

FitFlop sandal wearers have also reported relief from plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, chronic back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, RLS (restless leg syndrome), scoliosis and degenerative disc disease.

Why You Can’t Rely On Shoes To Solve All Your Problems

by lindseys

I have been hearing this my whole life stand up straight. That is why I leave you with this tip today shoes can not solve all your problems, but they can help. Posture is great way to fix a lot of your issues. Stand up straight against a wall making sure that your whole backside of your body is touching the wall. Then walk away from the wall keeping the same posture. Just by standing up straight you will feel instantly better.

This Is The First Time I Can Reach My Feet In 10 Years…

by lindseys

The cutest old man came into our store yesterday. He needed some assistance putting on his shoes. After he found the perfect shoe he had to practice putting them on himself. I let him know we had really long shoe horns. After I gave him the over 2 foot shoe horn he exclaimed, ” this is the first time I could reach my feet in 10 years.”  This just warmed up my heart. I was so happy to help someone become even more independent. Now that he could put on his own shoes, who knows what was next for the man…

Do You Have Over Pronation(Walking on Inside or Outside of the Foot)?

by lindseys

Definition

Over-pronation, or flat feet, is a common biomechanical problem that occurs in the walking process when a person’s arch collapses upon weight bearing. This motion can cause extreme stress or inflammation on the plantar fascia, potentially causing severe discomfort and leading to other foot problems.

Cause

Over-pronation is very prominent in people who have flexible, flat feet. The framework of the foot begins to collapse, causing the foot to flatten and adding stress to other parts of the foot. As a result, over-pronation, often leads to Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spurs, Metatarsalgia, Post-tib Tendonitis and/or Bunions.

There are many causes of flat feet. Obesity, pregnancy or repetitive pounding on a hard surface can weaken the arch leading to over-pronation. Often people with flat feet do not experience discomfort immediately, and some never suffer from any discomfort at all. However, when symptoms develop and become painful, walking becomes awkward and causes increased strain on the feet and calves.

Treatment and Prevention

Over-Pronation can be treated conservatively (non-surgical treatments) with over-the-counter orthotics.

These orthotics should be designed with appropriate arch support and medial rearfoot posting to prevent the over-pronation.

Footwear should also be examined to ensure there is a proper fit. Footwear with a firm heel counter is often recommended for extra support and stability. Improperly fitting footwear can lead to additional foot problems.

If the problem persists, consult your foot doctor.

A Great Review :)

by lindseys
ranking: *****
name: J.Meehan for Ethel Filehne
reviewdate: Tue Feb 7 2012
comments: It has been very difficult to find shoes for my 99 year old mother whose feet are very wide, with one foot partially deformed. Prior to visiting Comfort & Wide Shoes, family members have only been able to find men’s slippers to fit her but which are unattractive and inappropriate for use out of doors. After visiting two San Diego specialty shoe stores that could only offer unattractive men’s oxfords that would be difficult for Mother to put on and take off, due to her limited maneuverability, we visited Comfort & Wide Shoes, having found their name through Google. It was with little hope of finding something suitable that we arrived at the store. We were assisted by Lindsey, who patiently provided a selection of shoes to consider. We found a very suitable pair of sandals with adjustable straps that met the approval of my mother. We were extremely impressed by Lindsey’s knowledge, professionalism and PATIENCE. To say that my brother and I were happy and thankful for her outstanding service would be an understatement.

This Is What Makes My Job So Rewarding

by lindseys

Yesterday a woman walked in the store, and she was very pessimistic. The first thing she said is that I bet you will not be able to find me shoes. The reason why was that she had Hammer Toe, Neuropathy, and Plantar Fasciitis.  These issues made her feet very tender. An hour later we had turned her frown right upside down. She walked out with 3 pairs of shoes that fit her great, and most importantly did not hurt! This is what makes my job so rewarding. I truly get to help people with their pain.
