I am always amazed – but not surprised – when people complain about foot pain that won’t go away but don't even consider it could be due to worn out shoes. Yes, I know we all get busy. Yes, I know shoes can be expensive. However, let me point out that you only have one pair of feet and the long term damage you are doing to them will probably cost a lot more than buying new shoes in the long term.
One 'complainant' experienced increasing posterior tibial (instep) pain for more than three months. She regularly does a considerable amount of pavement walking, and it never occurred to her that her worn out shoes were contributing to the problem.
Similar to tire treads, the outsole of a shoe is designed to prolong wear and protect the less durable midsole. Once the outsole is worn through, the midsole breaks down, changing the way the foot strikes the ground.
Another customers shoes showed not only excessive forefoot and rearfoot outsole wear, but actual splitting of the forefoot outsole/midsole. This caused increased weight bearing across the forefoot, and pinpoint callous build up due to the lack of shock absorption and shoe protection in this area.
If your shoes are worn, it’s important to replace them and buy quality sensible, comfortable shoes. You do not have to give up style for comfort.
