Noticing your shoe size creeping up as you age? 👟
Your feet aren’t actually growing—what’s happening is that over time, the ligaments and tendons lose elasticity, allowing the foot to flatten and spread. This can lead to bigger shoe sizes, reduced shock absorption, and more pressure on joints like your knees, hips, and back.
As we age, the fat pad on the soles also thins out, making walking or running feel harder on the feet. These changes can lead to issues like plantar fasciitis, bunions, or general foot pain.
👣 Foot Tip: Stay ahead of aging feet by wearing properly fitted shoes, using arch supports or custom orthotics, and seeing a foot specialist if pain persists.
Your feet do a lot for you—give them the care they deserve.
