General tips to prevent aching feet:
It is always better to wear a shoe than a chappal or a sandal. Always buy your footwear in the late evenings. Our foot size varies during the day and is the largest at around 4to 6 PM. The footwear purchased at that time always will fit better. Pay lot of attention to the sole. Sole should be flexible to allow the toes to “break” while taking a step. Buying a good quality sports shoe can save you a lot of money spent on pain killers and doctor’s fees! Elderly people should use shoes with good impaction absorption system to reduce the load on their arthritic knees. Remember that the force which one exerts while walking on the ground is imparted against one’s knees according to the second law of Newton, so reducing this load protects one’s knees.
