Quick poll: Have you recently taken up pickleball or beach volleyball? With the arrival of summer, many of us are eager to stay active and on our feet.
While this seasonal shift is exciting, it can also strain our muscles and joints. Podiatrist Timothy Oldani, DPM, FACFAS, explains, “People often ramp up their activity levels during the summer, which can lead to overuse injuries like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis.”
The good news is that upgrading your footwear can make a significant difference. Dr. Oldani advises, “Proper footwear can reduce the risk of overuse injuries by providing adequate arch support and shock absorption in the heel and ball of the foot.”
Not sure which shoes to choose? Dr. Oldani recommends a variety of podiatrist-approved summer shoes that are both comfortable and stylish. Check out these affordable options available at QVC for happy and healthy summer feet.
