Abstract
Shoes and footwear have been a part of human lives for centuries. Many take good foot health for granted. For those individuals, the commercial shoe store has hundreds of varieties of shoes in every price range. For individuals with compromised, at-risk feet, the options are reduced greatly. The foot health industry today has made available many viable options to meet specific needs. Footwear can augment successfully the treatment of foot and ankle pathology and when properly applied improve the health and lifestyle of patients.
