When it comes to feet, odds are you’ll experience some pain at some point in your life. In a study by the American Podiatric Medical Association, almost 8 in 10 Americans reported having a foot problem, and half of them say it affected their quality of life and restricted activities like walking, working and exercising.
You may be able to relieve foot pain by wearing better shoes and practicing some basic foot care, like icing, massaging and stretching. Also consider shoe inserts, which are designed to support your arches and cushion your feet.
