But, selecting the best fitting boot to suit your foot may require some shopping leg-work. “Your boots only have to last a season,”says American Podiatric Medical Association podiatrist Marlene Reid. “Your feet have to last a lifetime.”
For this reason, the APMA recommends heeding the following boot bullets before bolting out to buy a new pair based solely on fashion.
· Look for a boot that provides stability. A wider heel, less than two inches in height is best.
· Make sure the shape of the boot is wide enough for a comfortable fit on your feet. Some boot designs can be too narrow and can cause blisters and bunions.
· Try on the boots with hosiery or socks based on how you’ll wear them. This will ensure the proper fit.
· Pick a boot with a firm heel counter. Just because the boot fabric covers your ankle, doesn’t mean it provides adequate support.
· Select a boot with a rubber sole and traction on the bottom to curtail slipping. Remember, most fashion boots are not made for the snow.
