In case you didn’t know this, the types of shoes you wear affect your whole body, especially your posture. If you’re familiar with back pain, finding the right shoe that can support your body is crucial. Though it might not solve the root cause of the problem, it can alleviate your pain.
After doing some research ourselves, here are some shoe brands that you should definitely look into if you’re thinking of buying some comfortable (so comfortable you would wanna live in them) footwear! Here are some things you need to look for in a comfortable shoe:
- Curved soles
- Curved heels
- Cushioning
- Arch Support
Asics
Known for their top-of-the-line running shoes, Asics definitely houses some of the most supportive shoes! They include gel cushioning, which promotes external heel counter to reduce ankle movement, and other features that provide stability for even weight distribution and soft landings. The one’s we recommend are:
New Balance
Aside from its wonderful selection of fashion-forward shoe designs, New Balance also pays a lot of attention to foot health. Their shoes absorb impact from walking and running, which can largely affect your back pain. You can also choose from a variety of sneakers of different widths, foot shapes and arch types (high and normal arches)! We recommend these:
New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 V11
New Balance FuelCell Propel RMX
Clarks
Whenever we think about comfortable footwear, running shoes and sneakers are often the first things that come to mind. Yes, they’re considered as a more old-fashioned brand. However, Clarks has always offered a diverse selection of affordable shoes for women, men, and kids! So, if you’re looking for a quality boot or heel, make sure to check them out. All of their shoes are built with Ortholite cushioning, which helps reduce foot strain and absorbs impact. Though they’re mostly made of leather, they’re still very breathable and flexible! These are some options you can consider:
Nike
In particular, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus and the Nike Air Max 90 Sneakers! They come in standard to extra-wide widths, a great option for people who have wider feet. Plus, the bouncy midsole is great for absorbing impact and flexibility. The Nike Air Max’s higher platform might also be a good fit for your foot flexion and extension.
