1. Arch Pain: can
result from a variety of issues. Lack of support for the arch can be
a factor creating arch pain. Prolonged standing, walking or running
can also create stress on the arch and ultimately cause arch pain.
Over pronation stresses the muscles, tendons etc. of the foot. Minimizing
stresses, providing support and absorbing shock can help you manage
the problem. The 360° Foot Carearch
support series, Spira
shoes and our foot
care accessories are
geared toward providing you with the tools needed to help manage your
arch pain. When correctly
sized and the correct style arch support is selected, wearing arch
supports can help with alignment and pressure issues. Wearing Spira shoes
can help absorb stress and take pressure off of the feet and joints.
Spira and 360° arch supports are a great combination. Arch supports
to be considered: the Ecstasy,
Premier, and the Reflex. See the link 360° Foot
Care Product line. Also, see our accessory, the Arch
Exerciser. Individual results may vary.
2. Back Pain: often over pronated
feet can have a ripple effect on the body including back pain. When
the feet flatten excessively, they may affect the joints of the body
by putting them out of alignment. When the joints are placed out of
alignment pain, including back pain can be created. The goal when pain
is experienced, due to misalignment, is to place the body back into
alignment. The 360° Foot Care arch
support series, Spira and
our foot care accessories are
geared toward providing you with the tools needed to help manage your
condition. When correctly sized and the correct style arch support
is selected, wearing arch supports can help with alignment and pressure
issues. Wearing Spira shoes can help absorb stress and take pressure
off of the joints and back. Spira and 360° arch supports are a
great combination. Arch supports to be considered: the Ecstasy,
Thin Line, Buzz Premier, and the Reflex. See the link How
Arch Supports Work. Individual results may vary. Back

3. Bunions and Bunionnetts: these
are very common conditions. Bunions form often from wearing narrow
shoes. When bunions become painful wearing a wide-toe box shoe can
help reduce pressure on the bunion, thereby providing some relief from
pain. Buionnetts form on the outside of the foot near the small toe.
Getting relief can be obtained with appropriate wide
toe box shoes.
A good arch support can reposition the foot and when worn with a deep
wide toe-box shoe, can also help you manage your problem. See our orthopedic
shoe selectioncushion
socks.Individual results may vary. Back

4. Calluses: can develop on
any part of the foot that receives significant stress, friction and
rubbing. When calluses develop they can be painful. The goal usually
is to minimize or eliminate the formation of the callus. This can best
be achieved by wearing properly fitted shoes. When calluses exist,
wearing extra
depth shoes, when properly fitted, will not create the same stress
levels as regular styled shoes and should therefore help provide some
relief. To prevent callus build-up underneath the foot consider wearing
arch supports. A proper style and fitted arch
support can help reduce
pressures on areas of the foot. For diabetics alleviating callus buildup
is important. For non-diabetics orthopedic shoes and arch supports
will help minimize or prevent callus buildup. See our orthopedic
shoe selection. . Arch supports to be considered are the
Pleasure and the Ecstasy. See the link How
Arch Supports Work. For diabetics, our orthopedic
shoe selection, diabetic inserts, socks,
gauntlets and foot care cream,
are our best tools to help manage callus build-up. Individual results
may vary. Back To Top
5. Cross over Toes: is a condition
that often occurs from biomechanical issues and improperly fitted or
styled shoes. The condition exists where a dominant toe overlaps and
pressures a less dominant toe. Wearing wide
and deep toe box shoes or shoes with a mesh
or stretchable material on top can provide some
relief from pressure being exerted on top of the dominant toe. See
our orthopedic
shoe selection, specifically the Natural for men and
Pleasure for women. Individual results may vary. Back

6. Diabetes: people suffering from diabetes
can experience several conditions that they must guard against and
address. Poor circulation,
callus build-up, peripheral neuropathy are conditions that can create
problems for the diabetic. Callus build-up for some diabetics can lead
to ulcerations. Diabetics with peripheral neuropathy must work with
qualified people who can help them select and then fit them into proper
diabetic shoes. If a diabetic with peripheral neuropathy is wearing
a diabetic shoe that has been effective in minimizing problems, then
they should continue with that shoe and minimize trying other styles
unless they are working with a qualified shoe fitter. Wearing properly
fitted orthopedic shoes with good diabetic
inserts and diabetic socks can minimize callus build-up and thus reduce the formation of ulcers.
Diabetics must focus on the entire foot but especially those areas
where calluses can build up such as the heel and the forefoot area
(metatarsals). Poor circulation can be improved by wearing our gauntlets.
These products help raise the surface temperature of the skin which,
combined with mild compression, can improve circulation. Our diabetic
foot cream is also effective in holding down callus build-up. See our
diabetic / orthopedic shoes inserts, socks,
gauntlets and foot cream . Individual results may
vary. Back To Top
7. Flat Feet: often over pronated
feet can have a ripple effect on the body. When the feet flatten excessively,
they
may affect the joints
of the body by putting them out of alignment. When the joints are placed
out of alignment pain can be created. The goal when pain is experienced
in these areas is to place the body back into alignment. The 360° Foot
Care arch support series, Spira
shoes and
our foot care accessories can help you manage
this condition. When correctly sized and the correct style arch support
is selected, wearing the arch support will help
to bring relief from these conditions. Additionally, wearing Spira
shoes will absorb stress and take pressure off of the joints. Spira
and 360° Foot Care arch supports is an effective combination. Excessively
high arches can cause the joints (ankles, knees, hips etc.) to roll
outward causing stress on these areas of the body. If the high arch
does not flatten to absorb weight when standing, this can cause significant
stress on the body’s joints. 360° Spira shock absorbing shoes
can help bring relief. . Arch supports to be considered: the Ecstasy,
Premier, and the Reflex. See the link How Arch
Supports Work.

8. Forefoot Pain: can come
in several forms. Very common conditions like Bunions and Buionnetts
form often from wearing narrow shoes. When these conditions become
painful wearing a wide-toe box shoe will help reduce pressure. Another
area of pain in the forefoot often can be attributed to thinning of
the feet's padding. See Thinning Forefoot Pads for a description and
explanation. The 360° Foot Care arch support series, Spira and
orthopedic extra depth shoes and our foot care accessories, are geared
toward providing you with the tools needed to help manage your forefoot
pain. See Spira and our orthopedic shoe selection. Also, Silipos®All
Gel Care Kit. Individual results may vary. Back

9. Hammer Toes: often result
from wearing improperly fitted shoes. They can be painful. Wearing
deep toe box shoes or shoes
with a stretch
material on top can help provide relief. Occasionally,
surgery to release the toes joints may be necessary and a qualified
Podiatrist can assist
in making this determination. See our orthopedic
shoe selection. Also, Silipos®All
Gel Care Kit. Individual results may vary. Back

10. Heel Pain: there are
several heel pain conditions. Heel Spurs can occur, from among other
activities, excessive walking or standing. Another condition is thinning
heel padding. Thinning heel pads and heel spurs are two prominent heel
pain conditions that can typically be managed or relieved by reducing
pressure on the heel. Minimizing stresses, providing support and absorbing
shock can help you manage the problem. The 360° Foot Care arch

support series, Spira
shoes and our foot care accessories, are geared
toward providing you with the tools needed to help manage your heel
pain. When correctly sized and the correct style arch support is selected,

Plantar fasciitis is also a form of heel pain; however, this pain tends
to be associated more with swelling or inflammation. Accordingly, redistribution
of weight will not provide automatic relief from pain. Wearing 360° arch
supports and Spira shoes can help you manage pain due to plantar fasciitis.

15. Neuromas: this is a
condition that typically occurs between the 4th and 5th toes. Nerve
endings become irritated and often create a burning or tingling sensation.
There are several non-evasive options that a person can consider in
obtaining relief for this condition. Wearing a good wide-toe
