Dr. Steve asks.....Arch cramps when walking? There are a few reasons....Shoes can be the culprit so make sure the fit comfortable and wear the coorect size, not the one that you look the best in. If your arches start cramping make sure you have good arch support in your shoes. The arches in your feet can fatigue quickly when stnding on them for long periods of time or dancing/ partying. If you do not want to keep taking you shoes off during the day or evening while out enjoying yourself, put an arch support or orthotic in your shoes. These can be customed made or try instant arhes. They will take the pressure off the ball of your feet and prevent abnormal pronation. Abnormal pronation is when your arch flattens out or collapses in your shoes. Over the coarse of the day or evening the muscles the the foot will get tired and then you will get arch cramping, fatgue and or spams. OUCH! Of coarse a good foot message dosen't hurt either....!
