MD Podiatrist Recommends Best Shoes for Women in Their 30s
According to board-certified podiatrist Dan Michaels, DPM, women in their 30s “lose a lot of their biomechanical support. One of the best investments they need to do is to buy an everyday shoe that they can wear on quick errands, that is also chic and easy to slip on and slip off,” she says. Dr. Michaels also recommends an athletic shoe that focuses on their foot type. Are your feet supinating? Do you have collapsing arches post-pregnancy? Do you have flat feet or pronation? Depending on where you are in life, these may be some questions to ask yourself before committing to a shoe purchase.
“If they are going to have a staple shoe in their closet, I highly recommend that every woman has at least one pair of wedges. Wedges are fantastic because they go between two to three inches high, but the reason why they’re good is that wedges have better distribution in the surface area,” he suggests. This type of shoe helps to lift the forefoot while having the heel elevated.
