Take the Wet Footprint Test
This trick will help you pick the best shoes for you.
Get your foot a little bit wet. Stand on a paper bag, and then step off of it. Look at the image your foot left behind. If you see half of your arch, you have a normal foot or a neutral arch. If you see almost your entire foot, you have a flat foot. If you see just a thin line connecting the ball of your foot to your heel, you have high arches.
Remember your type when you choose your shoes.
If you have flat feet or high arches, you're more likely to get plantar fasciitis, which is inflammation of the tissue along the bottom of your foot. It’s the leading cause of heel pain.
