While Dr Khorramian calls ballet shoes the most common type of shoe that causes foot problems, he explains that other styles of shoes that are not supportive or cause pain are also worth avoiding. “Flip-flops can cause a lot of injuries,” he said. “Spiky toe shoes can also cause calves and blisters because of lack of blood circulation to the toes.”
Some the most supportive shoes for your feet includes classic ballet flats, flip flops, pointed toe shoes, and stiletto heels. So what is The best ways to protect your feet? “Always buy shoes that cushion the bottom of the foot and have enough room for the toes,” says Khorramian. And if you’re planning on wearing low-support shoes or heels, he recommends bringing a larger bag so you can easily switch to comfortable shoes. “If you must wear heels, avoid wearing them while driving, for long periods of time, and while walking.”
