Trend Meets Support: 3 Shoe Tests You NEED to Know

How to Test a Shoe for Support — 3 Simple Steps You Need to Know! 👟✅
Choosing the right shoe isn’t just about the brand or style — it’s about proper support to protect your feet and prevent pain. In this video, Dr. Keith Bangart, DPM, shows you how to test any shoe to see if it offers the support your feet need.

Here are the 3 essential tests to check before buying:
1️⃣ Bend Test: Grab the shoe between the heel and toe. It should only bend at the ball of your foot — just like when you take a step.
2️⃣ Twist Test: Try twisting the shoe side to side. A supportive shoe won’t twist easily.
3️⃣ Heel Support Test: Press on the heel cup — it should be firm and not easily pushed in.

Learn these quick tests so you can pick shoes that protect your feet from injuries like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and more!
