When your feet hurt, you hurt all over
So many of us think of our feet as just a length and width measurement...but there is also depth! Too many go to a longer shoe to get it wider and deeper to get their foot in it, believing if their foot "fits" in it, then it must be the correct size....WRONG. This is when a lot of problems start happening because the arch of the shoe doesn’t' match the arch of the foot; the ball of the foot doesn't fit in the widest part of the shoe and the bend of the shoes don't match where the bend of the toes occurs. All of these issues can lead to unnecessary pain and pressure resulting in blisters, callouses, ulcers for some, and most commonly, PAIN.

This foot pain can lead to us limping or shifting our weight to other areas of the foot, which effects our ankles, knees, hips and back. It truly is like the song we sang as kids...the foot bone is connected to the leg bone, the leg bone is connected to the knee bone, the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone, etc..... except it’s not so much the bones, but the joints that are effected most and take the most abuse...leading to sprains, strains and replacements.

Shoe fit is very important, but so is shoe selection. As they say, you can't fit a square peg into a round hole, so next time you have a chance, trace your foot on a piece of paper and take your insole out of your shoe or use your shoe itself and place it on top of your foot tracing...how close do they match?

At Grundman's, we understand sometimes you don't have much of a choice when buying shoes. Some companies use only one shape to make all their styles of shoes. We try to carry a variety of brands that also provide a variety of shapes in their styles to fit the variety of feet out there! (and we didn't even cover mismatched feet sizes or mismatched leg lengths!!)

Of course, the number one thing that sets us apart from any other shoe store for miles and miles is that if we can't find an off the shelf retail shoe to match your length, width and depth of your feet, we can just make them.

93 years going strong still making shoes and inserts/arches in house by hand! Variety of leather and shoe repairs still done in our factory as well.
Those of you working at factories or facilities that can't get to us? We can now come to you with our mobile truck "sole patrol". Give Grundman's a call at 812-882-4770 to learn more about what they can do for your feet!

LOVE THE SHOE YOU'RE IN.....
IT'S A MATTER OF BALANCE....FROM YOUR SOLE
