Orthofeet Verve Comfort Athletic Shoes For Women.   Orthofeet orthotic shoes are built with an innovative Ortho-Cushion system, engineered with unique comfort features:  FEATURES Contoured orthotic insole with anatomical arch support. Gel padding under the heel. Ergonomic sole with air cushioning.  BENEFITS Soften every step you take Reduces pressure under the heel Adds spring to your step Works wonders to alleviate heel pain & plantar fasciitis Orthofeet orthotic shoes have proven to help millions of users improve mobility and enhance comfort from heel to toe.  Finally a Shoe that Aligns my Body for a Long Exercising Pain Free Walk  First walking shoe that's wide enough and doesn't need my specially purchased orthotics. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and two replaced knees with hips that soon need replacement. Lots of lower back pain with compressed discs due to OA, RA and Osteoporosis. I can walk on pavement for 45 minutes pain free with these aligning my feet, legs, hips, and back appropriately. Love love love them! They are everything Vionic promises. My only request to them would be to make their MaryJanes and mules and sandals in wide sizes for those of us with multiple problems like me. We too would enjoy wearing the bright colorful shoes and sneakers.  Finally, a great walking shoe  I've always said in my next life I want new feet. Walking eight hours a day for 40+ years on concrete takes a toll. I can try on 150 pairs of walking shoes and maybe find one that works. Well, miracle of miracles, I found that ONE that works in this shoe. After reading the previous reviews, I ordered a half size larger. The fit is perfect for me. This shoe is so well made and comes with extra inserts to fill in the gaps if needed. I haven't had to use these yet. I thought it would be clunky looking, but it is not.   I've been walking around the neighborhood my knees and hips don't hurt as much. Looking forward to using these in Disneyworld where you walk at least ten miles a day. Wish I had these when I was working. I would recommend like others to order up in size. Delivery was much quicker than promised. They are definitely a thought out, well put together product and I will look into buying other styles they offer. You can tell that the company puts pride into the product and packaging. The price is so worth it for a comfortable fit.  Like walking on air!  I ordered a half size larger because my feet are swollen. Most of the reviews I had read said to order a whole size up and never mentioned swollen feet. I’m happy I didn’t do that! If my feet weren’t swollen, I am sure I could have ordered my exact size and it would have fit perfectly.  These shoes are so comfortable. It is truly fun to wear them. I have high arches and it feels so good to actually feel the support underneath them. I honestly can’t recall ever a time when I’ve said a pair of shoes was fun to wear but these are. They are so comfortable it’s like you really are walking on air! I’ve never said that before either.  I am about order my regular size for when my feet aren’t swollen plus a few more in different colors. They really are that comfortable!!! Helped my Plantar Fasciitis  I was recently diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. After buying the heel inserts and doing the exercises my doctor recommended my feet were still hurting after a week. When the doctors recommendations did not work I thought I'd try a pair of Orthofeet shoes since they had the best reviews for feet problems. I won't lie to you, they hurt my feet when I first put them on, but after I took them off, I noticed that my feet were starting to feel better. And after a week, I am happy to say, my feet are feeling almost like they did before I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone who has feet problems.  Heaven really, my feet thank me every night. Yours will too!  What these have done for my foot pain has me singing! I can't say enough about the support my poor feet get. I am retail and i'm on my feet 8 hrs and hard concrete floors. These have save me! Ok truth they are an expensive cost. But I was buying skechers memory foam shoes every 3 mos at $50 to $55 each time. I got my first pair of these Apr 10th and the most i've done is replace the insoles cause stinky feet, not really the shoes fault there. I just got a second pair because I wanted work and home shoes. Heaven really my feet thank me at the end of the night, yours will too!  What comfort!  When I was looking for new tennis shoes, I really didn't look at these, because of the use of the term 'diabetic' in the description. I don't have diabetes, but I do have terrible feet. But when I took another look and read the reviews, I kept seeing reviews by people who had feet like myself. I ended up not just ordering these but the Orthofeet sandals as well. I never knew shoes could be so comfortable. What a great design - a strap for those of us who have a narrow heel but wide forefoot, lacing that does not bind the mid-foot and has 'stops' so that the shoe doesn't have to be relaced to the proper fit each time, and extra inserts for those of us who have thin feet. Orthofeet is now my go-to shoe. And, no, I have nothing to do with this company, except be a customer!  This shoe is perfect in every way  This shoe is perfect in every way! The padding and arch support has eliminated my foot and knee pain. The Tie Less design has helped give a custom fit and made putting on shoes a breeze since I had surgery just 2 days after receiving the shoe. Read the full article

Common Foot Problems in Your 50s and Beyond

Foot problems are a natural part of the aging process. They arise from the normal daily wear and tear of joints as well as thinning skin that becomes more fragile due to dryness and a loss of elasticity. We typically begin to see foot problems in our 40s and 50s, with some of the problems getting more severe or numerous as we age. Below is a list of the most common foot problems seen when we age, as well as a look at some treatment options for each condition.

1. Arthritis:  Arthritis is often a reality of aging.  Osteoarthritis is what we think of as wear-and- tear arthritis: that inevitable consequence of years of stress on the joints. The ankle joint,  subtalar joint, and the  big toe joint (first MTPJ) are three joints that frequently develop arthritis. Symptoms associated with  bunions and  hammer toes may worsen over the time due to the progression of arthritis within those toe joints. Another joint problem that can develop in older adults is gouty arthritis.  Gout is a metabolic disease that often manifests as intense arthritis symptoms at the big toe joint.

2. Circulatory Changes and Foot and Ankle Swelling:  One of the most common foot and ankle problems associated with aging is swelling. The cause of the swelling can be elusive, especially if it's not associated with an injury. Leg vein problems are a common cause of swelling and usually occur in a single limb at a time. Cardiovascular disease, certain medications, and hormonal changes are possible causes of swelling that occur in both limbs.

3. Bunions:  Bunions are a result of years of added pressure on the balls of the feet that forces the toes out of alignment and eventually causes the big toe joint to stick out. This creates a not only unattractive bump, but a painful one as well. Women who wear pointy-toed shoes frequently and for a long period of time commonly suffer from this foot problem. Treatment options vary depending upon the severity of the bunion and the amount of pain it causes, but include switching to roomy shoes with a wide toe box such as Orthofeet’s specially engineered shoes that alleviate pressure on bunions, using OTC non-medicated bunion pads, taking pain medication, applying ice to the bunions after a long day of standing, wearing padded inserts, and as a last resort, surgery.

4. Hammertoes:  Hammertoes are a deformity of the toe in which the muscle or ligament surrounding the toe joint is imbalanced. This causes the middle joint of the toe to bend and get stuck in a claw-like position. The bad news is that without proper treatment, hammertoe will get progressively worse and might require surgery to fix it. The good news is that it can be treated with simple exercises such as picking up marbles with the afflicted toe, stretching the toe manually several times a day, and wearing footwear with low heels and a deep toe box, like Orthofeet shoes for hammertoes that are designed with special technology that helps alleviate the problems caused by hammertoes. If the pain gets very sever, your podiatrist can use a cortisone injection for pain relief. Surgery is the last option and is only considered when the hammertoe cannot be corrected non-surgically.

5. Morton’s Neuroma:  Morton’s neuroma is caused by a thickening of the tissue around a nerve leading to the toes. Neuromas most often appear between the 3rd and 4th toes and can be extremely painful. Severity of symptoms will determine treatment, such as orthotic insoles with arch supports and shoe pads to help reduce pressure on the nerve, steroid injections, and as a last resort, surgery such as decompression surgery or removal of the nerve. Orthofeet has a wide selection of shoes and orthotic insoles, designed to provide pain relief from Morton’s Neuroma.

6. Heel Pain:  Heel pain is another common foot problem that generally begins in the 40s and 50s. One of the most common causes of heel pain, plantar fasciitis results from inflammation of the thick strand of tissue running along the bottom of the foot that connects the heel bone to the toes. It may also correspond with an increase in physical activity or a change in footwear. Initially, the pain starts off in the morning but then passes fairly easily. As the condition worsens, every step can become painful. Treatment options include anti-inflammatory medication, icing and stretching the heel, physical therapy that stretches the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, steroid injections, orthotic inserts, or orthotic shoes.

7. Calluses:  Calluses, which are not to be confused with corns, are a result of too much pressure or friction on the bottom of the foot. Ill-fitting shoes are a common culprit for this foot problem. Frequently wearing shoes or sandals without socks can also cause calluses. Generally, calluses are treated by gently scraping and/or trimming the build-up of hard tissue. Wearing properly fitted, supportive shoes with good shock absorbing soles can also help alleviate pressure on the calluses and prevent future build-up.

8. Corns:  Unlike calluses, corns usually form on the top of the feet or toes over a bone or joint. Corns are typically dense and have even greater thickness at their center. They can cause discomfort and make walking or running with shoes uncomfortable. There are several different types of corns, but most can be treated in the same way. Treatment options include wearing better fitting shoes such as shoes with a wide toe box to minimize pressure on toe joints, using moleskins to cushion the sore and reduce direct friction on the skin, wearing good orthotics, which when fitted with the proper shoe, can help redistribute weight and alleviate pressure, trimming the thick areas of the corn (this should only be done by a professional) and as a last resort surgery.

9. Degenerative Diseases:  Certain degenerative diseases, such as osteoarthritis can start to manifest in your 40s. Symptoms include pain, stiffness and tenderness in the joints accompanied by loss of flexibility and possibly a grinding sensation during movement. Osteoarthritis requires special treatment, so a doctor should be contacted as soon as possible. For foot relief, your doctor can recommend several treatment options including special shoes such as Orthofeet shoes which have special features for sufferers of arthritis.

10. Achilles Tendinitis:  Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury and most commonly occurs in runners who have suddenly started running longer distances and/or more frequently. “Weekend warriors” (middle-aged people who run, play tennis or basketball only on the weekends) also frequently get this foot problem. The pain is due to an injury of the Achilles tendon – the band of tissue connecting the calf muscles of the lower, back leg to the heel bone. The good news is that it’s fairly easy to treat. Anyone suffering from Achilles tendinitis should begin by reducing the activity levels and stretching and strengthening the calf muscles. Additional treatments include icing the area after exercising or when experiencing pain, elevating the foot to reduce swelling, taking anti-inflammatory medication and wearing shoes with a soft padded collar to relieve pressure on the back of the heel and alleviate pain.

11. Diabetes:  With diabetes, risk increases with age and patients who have diabetes often experience neuropathy, or decreased sensitivity to pain. Consequently, injuries can go undetected and result in infection and a diabetic ulcer. In addition, poor blood flow and oxygenation to the legs can affect the healing process. It is critical that diabetics receive proper care for all aspects of their illness including diabetic neuropathy. The doctor may suggest special shoes designed specifically for the diabetic foot.

12. Nail Fungus:  Fungal infections occur as a result of too much fungi under, in, or on the nail. Moist, warm environments are where fungi thrive. Fungal infections are most effectively treated with oral medication prescribed by a doctor. Topical creams are not usually recommended simply because they are rarely effective. For diabetics who have a nail fungus, it’s especially important to see a doctor, as a nail fungus can cause serious complications later on if not treated.

13. Clogged Sweat Glands or Parakeratosis:  While perspiration is an important skin function that helps regulate body temperature, sweat glands that become clogged can cause problems. Parakeratosis is a general term applied to different skin conditions that block sweat glands. The bumps parakeratosis cause can sometimes be confused with corns, but they are two entirely different problems. The bumps created by this skin condition can make walking and even wearing shoes very painful. In addition, the lesions can later become cancerous if not treated. To treat parakeratosis, certain medications might be prescribed and the lesions excised. Managing the problem includes limiting sun exposure, washing your feet thoroughly and regularly and wearing soft, breathable shoes.

How To Treat Foot Odor?

The medical term for smelly feet is bromodosis. It’s underlying cause - bacteria and moisture. Feet have sweat glands (about 250,000 actually) and the moisture caused by the sweat creates bacteria. In order to remove waste, bacteria breaks down dead skin cells and oils; it is this breakdown that can cause foot odor.

The good news is that there are ways to fight foot odor. We’ve listed them below. Keep in mind that while it may seem like foot odor is a problem specific to the summer months, the truth is, foot odor can happen any time of year, so if you do suffer from smelly feet, these tips are good to practice all year long.

Wash your feet regularly. Wash your feet at least once a day. If need be, try an antibacterial soap. It’s also important to thoroughly dry your feet, especially between the toes.

Keep your footwear clean. Air out your footwear overnight, and alternate between different pairs of shoes to give the moisture in the shoes enough time to evaporate. Bacteria love moisture! Socks should be changed every day too. You might even consider carrying an extra pair of socks with you so you can change your socks midday.

Wear the right type of shoes. Avoid shoes that are tight and may retain moisture or shoes that don’t have ‘breathability’ such as those made from plastic. Shoes that don’t ‘breath’ promote sweating and therefore foot odor.

Wear the right socks.Use socks with a moisture wicking system such as Orthofeet's BioSoft socks. These types of socks absorb moisture so it doesn’t remain on your feet and cause bacteria to grow.

Alternate or replace insoles. Insoles that are worn out or used repeatedly can become smelly just like shoes and socks. If you can, wash and dry them and use a different pair of insoles while they are drying. If your insoles aren’t washable, or you just need a new pair, you should get a new pair of quality insoles such as Orthofeet’s orthotic insoles.

Powder and Clip. Regularly powdering your feet with an antibacterial foot powder can not only kill the bacteria of your feet that cause foot odor, but it will also help deep your feet dry. Clipping your toenails so they don’t grow to long and cleaning them regularly also helps eliminate foot odor, as bacteria can get trapped under the toenails if they are too long or unclean.

Soak your feet. Foot soaks aren’t just for soothing your feet. They can help remove foot odor too. A soak made from warm water mixed with juice from one lemon or even with vinegar is very effective at eliminating foot odor. Just make sure that you don’t have any open cuts or sores beforehand as the lemon and vinegar can exacerbate pain from the wounds. And don’t forget to dry your feet well when you’ve finished soaking.

Exfoliating dead skin. A good way to remove the dead skin cells that bacteria like to feed on is to use a pumice stone or a good scrub on your feet. Exfoliation can be done as part of the foot soak regimen. Done together they are very effective at controlling foot odor.

Use an antiperspirant. Some people also apply an antiperspirant or deodorant spray to their feet. They work the same way on your feet as they do on your underarm and can help reduce the incidence of sweating.

*Note - If you suddenly experience smelly feet, be sure to check your feet for signs of cuts or sores that might be infected, or for fungal infections such as athlete's foot. Both types of conditions can cause your feet to smell. If either of these conditions do exist, it is important to see a doctor right away for treatment.
