When buying new shoes, take a close look at the old ones: worn out shoes or shoes will tell you what kind of foot problems you have and how to find a solution.

The American Society of Podiatrists advises How to "Read" Your Shoes. look at which side and how worn out the old shoes. This will tell you what mistakes you make when buying shoes.

1. Under the pads of the toes

This means you have a tight Achilles tendon. It needs to be stretched and also to choose shoes with low heels, not just flat soles.

2. On the inside of the insole

You twist your leg. Instep supports or orthopedic insoles will help.

3. On the outside of the insole

You are clubfoot, you need orthopedic shoes or at least special insoles.

4. In the front of the boot, behind the toes

Your heels are too high, choose a lower one.

5. The bulge next to the thumb

If such a phenomenon is on one pair of shoes, then this pair is too tight. If you notice bumps all over your shoes, then you most likely have a callus on your toe.

6. There are prints under the toes

Either this pair of shoes is too small for you, or you have hammer-like curvature of your toes. Look for wider shoes and see a podiatrist.
