Not everyone has a perfect step when they walk. Some people walk with their feet pointed out, some walk with their feet pointed in, some have one foot in and one foot out, and for some, they walk over their shoes, and their heels and arch are not supported in their shoes. This rolling over in your shoes can cause all types of foot problems, and can create other issues for you as well, including knee problems and eventually hip problems as well. If you have this issue where you roll over your shoes, there are things that can be done about it. Read on for helpful information.
What Causes This?
Rolling over your shoes is usually caused by a lack of arch or a lack of arch support. If you aren't wearing the right type of footwear for your feet, you may be rolling over in your shoes. You may also need a wide shoe to help accommodate for wider feet. Rolling over your shoes can also be caused by a poor gait, which may have been caused by a previous injury, or it could be caused from being overweight as well. No matter the cause, if you are rolling over your shoes, you should seek help from a podiatrist for the right treatment options.
What Can You Do?
Changing your footwear is important if you are rolling over your shoes. You should go to a specialty store for shoes that fit your feet properly and get a proper fitting shoe based on your needs. Some of these specialty stores will have a tool to measure your foot and can see where your feet line up to get you the right shoes. You need shoes with plenty of arch support and that support your entire foot to help prevent you from rolling over your shoes further. You should also make a podiatry appointment to make sure you don't have anything else going on with your foot. You could potentially need some sort of physical therapy to help with your gait if you walk straight to prevent further injury to your feet, knees or hips. If your body is out of alignment, therapy can help with this.
If you are rolling over your shoes when you walk, you are more than likely ruining a lot of shoes, not to mention, you are probably in pain when you walk. Make an appointment with a podiatrist to treat this issue.
