9 tips for choosing shoes for hallux valgus - October 6, 2021 If a bunion is not painful, it does not necessarily require surgery. Even in cases where this deviation is accompanied by pain, it is usually possible to eliminate the pain by wearing appropriate shoes and correcting movements. . Pay attention to the following points when wearing shoes: 1. Your criterion for choosing shoe size should not be only its size number. These sizes vary depending on the shape of the shoe and the manufacturer. So always try on the shoes and avoid buying in person. 2. Choose a shoe that fits your foot as much as possible and does not put pressure on the big toe area. 3. In many people, one foot is bigger than the other. In this case, choose shoes according to the larger leg. 4. Buy shoes in the evening because this is the time of day when your feet are at their maximum size. 5. When you stand up to try on the shoe, there should be about a centimeter in front of your longest toe inside the shoe. 6. Make sure that the toe of the shoe is the same size as your toe. The toe is the widest part of the foot and shoe. 7. Never buy tight shoes and don't think that they will open up little by little. 8. In addition to feeling comfortable, the heel should also fit the shoe. The back of the shoe should completely cover the heel of the shoe and not allow it to slide or move in the shoe. 9. Walk a few steps in the shoes to make sure they fit your feet. ### Chiropractic in Tehran For a complete clinical examination, visit and consultation in the field of chiropractic treatment (spine and joint pain, lumbar and neck disc herniation, sciatica pain, muscle cramps and sports injuries) in Tehran, contact the clinic of Dr. Iman Etsami, a chiropractic specialist from America.
