Article written by Dr. Bronwyn Wilke, D.P.M
I recently read an article by a woman's fashion magazine listing shoes that every woman should have. I was stunned that sneakers did not make the list! A good solid walking/hiking athletic shoe is number one on my list of must have shoes. Athletic shoes are the one line of shoegear that is focused on function and has research dedicated to product performance. I appreciate that the basis of the article was fashion. What woman doesn't have her glam moments? But for every moment of glamour and less than practical shoe choices there is a moment of relief when the shoes are taken off. If you've strutted in pumps you appreciate the NYC exec who runs to appointments in her suit and sneakers with her dress shoes in her purse. If you have danced in peep toes or platforms you understand Kim William's character wearing sneakers under her wedding gown in "Father of the Bride". No matter how gorgeous the shoe it cannot be sexy if you have to limp. As a lover of stilletos, pumps, peep toes, sandals and boots I must draw attention to the unsung hero of every womans closet - the sneaker. If you are having trouble finding a sneaker that is right for you, your foot health professional will give you guidance on foot deformity and appropriate sneaker choices.
