Footwear
The brands listed here are ones that either myself or my patients have personal experience with that are high quality and promote healthy feet. Shoe preferences and tolerance vary widely so what may work for one person may not necessarily work for someone else. I recommend that you choose a trusted brand with a great return policy should they not meet your expectations. Some may have affiliate links which means we get small commission at no extra cost to you.
