How To Alleviate Top Of Foot Pain With This Lacing Technique

Let’s talk a little bit about how to alleviate top-of-foot pain. We’ve all experienced it at one time or another when we’ve tied our shoes too tight and the laces are pressing down on the top of the foot.

When that happens, you loosen the laces, and it feels better.

But some people have a high instep.

This means that they have a thicker foot from the arch to the top of the foot.

This thickness adds more pressure against the tongue of the shoe and the laces.

This causes constant pressure, pain, and hot spots.

So just loosening the laces doesn’t remove the pain.

So you have to do something different.

And that means relacing the shoe in a different way so it removes any pressure from the top of the foot.

In the video above, I’ll walk you through a lacing technique that will do exactly that.

It’s quite different from the standard lacing that we all know.

But it works really well to alleviate top-of-foot pain that you can experience, especially if you have a high instep.

So take a look at the video, then lace your shoes just like it shows, and see how much it helps.

And if you still have pain, then scroll down and schedule an appointment so we can find the solution.

How Shoe Offset And Width Can Hurt Your Feet

Did you know that shoe offset and width can hurt your feet?

Let’s explain.

Shoe offset is the height difference from the heel to the toe. The bigger the offset, the higher the heel, and vice versa.

The width of the shoe is pretty self-explanatory.

In this situation, we are focusing specifically on the toe box.

That’s the area where the toes sit in your shoe.

When that is too narrow, that can also lead to not just pain but structural issues in the foot.

So the offset and width play a crucial role with your feet.

In this video, you’ll see exactly what the offset and width can do, and how you can tell whether a shoe is too narrow for your foot just by using the insole.

And if you’re currently in pain and you have tried just about everything else, scroll down to the calendar below and schedule an appointment.

You’ll be taken through a simple process that will help alleviate your pain, so you can feel better in no time.
