Sounds like a bad line from a movie but apparently it's about women and their shoes! A new study sponsored by the Institute for Aging Research of Hebrew Senior Life in Boston found a direct relationship between improper shoes and foot pain.
Those women who wore supportive, well sized shoes in their youth cut in half their chances of having foot pain which requires treatment later in life compared to those who wore shoes which give only average support. The sad thing is these 2 groups did much better than those who wore dress pumps, sandals, or high heels often in their youth. The worse part of the study is that 60% of women said their youthful shoe choices were from the worse category.
