-by Bill Davison of The Running Center
As I work with people at my store or at health clinics or fairs, I find many of the same questions being asked. A good example is: "Why do my feet hurt after standing on them all day at work". If you think about it, there are several factors at work here common to many people. The first issue could be you have the wrong size shoe. Our feet get longer and flatter as we age and factors that contribute to this can be added weight, pregnancy and being on your feet for long periods of time. Another element that can be involved in your foot getting bigger is that as you stand on your feet they swell or get larger over the day. Another component of this bigger foot phenomenon is width. Most people, if they think about it, know they need a shoe that fits both length and width. You should not be concerned that you have always fit into a certain size or width. When it comes to running or walking shoes, you need to make sure you buy at least a half or full size larger than your dress shoe size to accommodate the foot getting bigger as you exercise.
