No body part may get more daily use than our feet . As soon as they hit the floor in the morning, they are working hard to support us, and they dont stop until our final tasks before bed. So it makes sense that they might get worn out, broken down or injured.

Whether you are dealing with a chronic foot issue or just need some relief for your aching feet, doctors have specific tips and products that they swear by for foot pain. Check out their recommendations below:

Ditch your unsupportive shoes.

If you love ballet flats or flip-flops , youre probably not doing your feet any favors. Dr. Vikas Godhania , a podiatrist at Austin Regional Clinic , said these types of shoes dont have enough of a heel and not nearly enough arch support.

These can be hard on your feet and can add stress to the ligaments that support the arch, he told HuffPost, noting that this can make conditions such as plantar fasciitis the most common cause of foot pain much worse.

Swap out your unsupportive shoes for those with better arch support and a slightly higher heel to combat this, and opt for stiffer shoes over ones that bend easily.

Take it easy with heels, too.

While your favorite pair of stilettos might be ready to party, your feet might regret it. Dr. Patrick McEneaney , a foot and ankle surgeon at Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists, pointed out that moderation is key.

Obviously it doesnt help with any of these conditions, but I tell my patients youve got to live a little, but be smart about it, he told HuffPost.

Specifically, he said you should avoid wearing high heels all day. Instead, pick and choose to wear them to an important meeting or special event and then change into other shoes to give your feet a break .

Godhania added that bunions especially can worsen with poor shoe choices, saying, Wearing tight, narrow shoes can often make bunions painful and contribute to them getting worse.

Consider whether your slightly-too-tight shoes might come in size wide to give your feet more breathing room.
