10 Causes of Foot Cramps
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #9: Improper Footwear
The feet are one of the most uncared body parts as they are often overlooked. They are important as they allow mobility. This means that proper footwear is also essential for the health of the feet. Wearing improper footwear such as those that are poor fitting or footwear without adequate support can place excessive strain not only on the feet but also the legs.
Footwear that are thin or have hard soles can also cause issues. Individuals who stand or work on hard surfaces will also experience similar effects. As the foot muscles support the body weight, inadequate support and improper footwear can cause issues with the foot’s circulation leading to spasms and cramps.
