Can shoes cause numbness and tingling in your feet?

Numbness and tingling in your feet can be caused from tightly fitting shoes that cause what is known as a compression neuropathy (pressing on a nerve). If you are wearing a pair of running or exercise shoes, and all of a sudden you get a tingling sensation or numbness feeling on the top of your foot.....you are probably tying your shoes to tightly. It can also occur if you are wearing a tightly fitted dress shoe and stand for a long period of time like a trade show. A reason that this type of problem can occur in your feet is because there are superficial nerves that travel on the top of your feet that can get injured or irritated when micro - traumatised. It can send sharp pains into your toes or just cause your toes to tingle or get numb.

To prevent this problem from happening make sure you loosen you laced shoes when you feel the the slightest sensation of pressure on the top of your foot. Also make sure you wear comfortable shoes with an arch support in them when you are at trade shows. If you are wearing high heels there are arch products available that can fit in your shoe to give your feet support. Icing can also help if you begin to experience the tingling sensations. If the problem continues to persist consult with your foot specialst.

Why do I feel wobbly in high heel shoes?

Dr. Steve says:

Women that wear high heels and feel wobbly when they walk may think they have weak ankles. This is not true. The problem is in the joints of there feet. When the joints in the foot collapse the arch becomes unstable and you can feel wobbly while walking in your shoes. The higher the heel the more unstable you may feel. Placing an arch support in your shoes will reduce that unstable or wobbly feeling. So , do not worry about not being able to wear your favorite high fashion shoes because a little support will allow you to walk a long way, in comfort.

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....!
