Delicate feet: How to choose the right footwear?

As a maker of custom and personalized women's footwear, I have made many shoes for customers with delicate feet who suffer discomfort, pain and even injuries due to wearing the wrong footwear. It is important to remember that the feet are complex and sensitive structures that support the weight of the body and allow mobility, so choosing the correct footwear is essential for your health and well-being.

What is considered a delicate foot?

Delicate feet can have various characteristics that make them more susceptible to problems from footwear:

• Thin and sensitive skin: prone to irritations, chafing and blisters.
• Calluses and calluses: areas of thickened skin that can cause pain and discomfort.
• Brittle nails: increased risk of breakage, infections and onychocryptosis (ingrown toenails).
• Deformities: bunions, hammertoes, flat feet, etc., which can make it difficult to wear conventional footwear.
• Diseases: diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, among others, which can increase the sensitivity and fragility of the feet.

How to choose the right footwear for delicate feet?

To protect the health of delicate feet, it is important to consider the following aspects when choosing footwear:

1. Size and fit: Footwear should fit the foot correctly, without being tight or loose. 

2. Material: opt for soft and breathable materials such as natural leather or fabrics . Avoid rigid synthetic materials that may irritate the skin.

3. Sole: The sole should be flexible, cushioned and with good grip to provide support and stability to the foot. Avoid high heels or platforms that can unbalance the foot and increase pressure on the joints.

4. Toe: The toe must have enough space so that the toes can move without rubbing or compressing. Avoid narrow or pointed toes that can deform the toes.

5. Closure: the footwear must have an adjustable closure that allows it to fit the foot safely and comfortably. 

Additional recommendations:

• Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes for several consecutive days.
• Inspect your feet regularly for any signs of problems, such as calluses, corns, ingrown toenails, or wounds.
• Visit a podiatrist regularly for check-ups and preventive treatments.

Remember: Delicate feet require special care. Choosing the right footwear and following the recommendations mentioned above can help you protect the health of your feet and prevent long-term problems.
