  2. Make sure they are deep in the toes box and if you have toes that bend a little make sure the toe box is exceptionally deep
  3. Make sure the shoe is wide enough for your foot
  4. Wear shoe in side the house and our side the house  If going from inside the house to outside change the shoes to suit
  5. Regular off the shelf shoes should be carefully examined when choosing shoes for a numb foot
  6. Foot deformities should be carefully addressed when making shoe selections ; clawed toes, deep toe box, corn and calluses special inserts to reduce the frequency of reoccurrence of the corns or calluses (your Podiatrist can help you with this)
  7. Shoes should be 1-2 cms longer than your foot especially on the inside of your shoe (in other words your feet should not be touching the front of the shoe)
  8. The width of your shoes should be wider than the width of the foot where your ball of the foot is located (maybe need a diagram)
