Choosing Correct MBT Footwear at Fulham Osteopathic Care

Flatter broad shoes are best for your feet and back

Good footwear should have a support across the front of your ankle to help hold the shoe on

High heels (especially stillettos) should be avoided – these are less stable and may cause injury. High heels also alter the natural curve of your spine

Shoes should have a soft sole for cushioning and shock absorption
