Did you know within your lifetime you'll walk the equivalent distance to four times around the earth? In itself a good reason to look after your feet! Shoes should not only be suitable for the shape and size of your feet, but also suited to the level and type of activity you're engaging in. Ill-fitting shoes can cause bunions, corns and calluses - which not only look terrible, such painful conditions can also be debilitating.
As women often wear high heels and narrow shoes, they're more at risk of certain foot problems. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) believes issues resulting from poorly-fitting shoes have reached epidemic proportions, posing a major health risk for women. A 1991 AOFAS Council on Women's Footwear survey found almost 90 percent of the 356 women interviewed wore shoes that were too small and 80 percent had foot problems.
Shoes which fit well and provide good cushioning and support are critical to healthy feet and your general wellbeing. At Arch Angel, trained staff measure your feet and will help you choose the right shoes for your feet and specific needs. Choose from a wide range of comfortable and stylish shoes sourced from the world's top comfort shoe labels - including Naot and Xsensible - and put your best foot forward.
