There is such a thing as too flat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Woman](\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/brogues.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhether it\u2019s a sleek wingtip brogue or a pair of Hepburn-worthy flats (both of which are completely on trend at all times), you\u2019ll do well to invest in a flat that has a little bit of a heel. According to Dr. Cunha, \u201c\u2026shoes that are completely flat\u2026will contribute to pronate and collapse of the arch.\u201d Not only can this lead to serious pain in the knees, heels, and back, it can also make it tough to enjoy any type of stylish shoe altogether.

<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s almost no shoe more of-the-moment than a pair of block heels. A little heel is preferable to no heel, but don\u2019t go overboard\u20141.5 inches is a smart choice, Dr. Cunha stresses, because it makes your feet feel more comfortable when you walk. Conversely, heels that are too high can cause extensive damage. Because your feet are put at an unnatural angle, even your toenails can suffer. \u201cHigh heels also aggravate the symptoms and progression of bunion deformities,\u201d says Dr. Cunha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The naturally tight toe box means there\u2019s no room for your tootsies to breathe and move comfortably, leaving them pressed together and wanting for freedom. This, warns Dr. Cunha, \u201cis going to exacerbate a bunion, cause hammertoes and irritate neuromas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always seek out styles with square toe boxes if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While sneakers are timeless classics, it\u2019s the chunky sneaker \u2014 slightly less exaggerated than the \u201890s looks made famous by the Spice Girls, fortunately \u2014 that earns raves in the modern day. You\u2019ll risk the health of your ankles if you do training in them, but they\u2019re fine if you want to add some sporty-chic style to your daily looks. That\u2019s because they\u2019re thoughtfully designed with sturdy heels and roomier toe boxes that won\u2019t constrict your toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
