I've recently had cause to have to view this website

[http://www.footwearmatters.com/]

And it's quite plain that are several claims on here that would be dubious at best and outright crazy at worst.

I pass the website over to the PA masses to see how many you can spot.

Anti-cellulite shoes!!!!
Suggesting that Crocs are a good brand of shoe to help 'aid ingrown toenails'!!!!

This site would have you believe that by just changing your footwear, you can alleviate, or in some case, totally cure most ailments of the foot or leg.

I do love how they list Pregnancy as an ailment.

OK, over to you. Please, enjoy yourselves.

 

O.K., so it's a bit 'dumbed down' and obviously has it's own agenda. However, the piece on bunions is not bad at all for the type, and the one on corns is reasonably fair although we may take issue with the advice on corn pads. These days, I tend to go with no publicity is bad publicity and it does repeatedly suggest attending a podiatrist for advice/treatment which is very positive.

All the best

The first few paragraphs in the blog on choosing running shoes was the funniest though - "superpronation" is the opposite of "over-pronation" apparently :bang:
