May 7 2025
When it comes to foot pain, posture problems, or even back and knee discomfort, your shoes could be a bigger part of the problem than you think. Ill-fitting or unsupportive footwear can quietly contribute to a range of issues—from bunions and heel pain to poor alignment and long-term joint stress.
Why a Footwear Assessment Matters
At Family Foot and Leg Center (FFLC), we offer professional footwear assessments that go beyond just looking at your shoe size. We evaluate your foot shape, arch type, gait, and medical history to determine whether your current shoes are helping or hurting your feet.
Here’s how a footwear assessment can help:
✅ Prevent Pain and Injuries
Wearing the wrong shoes can lead to foot strain, plantar fasciitis, neuromas, and more. The right fit and structure can prevent many of these common conditions.
✅ Improve Alignment and Support
Proper footwear helps keep your feet, ankles, knees, and hips in natural alignment—reducing the risk of postural issues and chronic discomfort.
✅ Receive Personalized Recommendations
We’ll guide you toward shoe styles, brands, or even custom orthotics that suit your unique needs—whether you’re an athlete, a professional on your feet all day, or simply want to stay comfortable and active.
Don’t Wait Until It Hurts
Footwear is more than a fashion choice—it’s a foundation for your overall health. If you’ve been experiencing pain, fatigue, or discomfort, a footwear checkup might be the step you need to start walking smarter.
