Supportive Shoes Mean Less Wear and Tear on Joints: MD Podiatrist

If your days are long, grueling, and mostly spent on your feet, supportive shoes are a must. So we asked foot surgeon Daniel Michaels, DPM of Reconstructive Foot & Anlkle Institute, LLC to give us her take on the best shoes for all-day wear.

Shoes with solid soles (versus flexible ones that bend easily) offer the most support, he says. “Flexible shoes allow for increased motion, so there’s more wear and tear on your joints,” Dr. Michaels says.
