Foot pain might be common, but there are ways to prevent it. Learn how to keep your feet healthy and pain-free with these simple tips.
Choose the Right Footwear
Wearing the right shoes can make a big difference in preventing foot pain. Ensure your footwear offers good arch support and fits properly. Avoid high heels and shoes that squeeze your toes, as these can exacerbate pain and lead to long-term issues.
