In an effort to recommend shoes for every foot condition, today we’re bringing you the best shoes for metatarsalgia and giving you an overview of the diagnosis. Spoiler alert: all SAS shoes are fit for the job. They’re all supportive, comfortable, and reliable. But, certain styles are more suited to certain conditions, so let’s get into it.
What Is Metatarsalgia?
Put simply, Metatarsalgia refers to pain in the ball of the foot. More specifically, it’s a condition in which the ball of your foot becomes painful and inflamed, according to the Mayo Clinic. You could develop it if you participate in activities that involve running and jumping, but there are other causes as well including foot deformities and shoes that are too tight or too loose.
At-home treatments such as ice and rest often relieve symptoms, but wearing proper footwear with shock-absorbing insoles or arch supports could prevent or minimize future problems with metatarsalgia. Shoes that fit right make all the difference.
What to Look for in the Best Shoes for Metatarsalgia
If you’re skipping the inserts, stick to the insoles. After all, shock absorption is key. The point of these insoles is to dissipate the massive amount of kinetic energy you gain in every step. So, if you’re looking for a shoe as active as you so you can keep on your feet as you please, the search stops with SAS.
