Three checks for your current shoes, and their limits | FitX Experts

How can you tell at home whether the shoes you already own fit? Damien Howell, PT, DPT, talks with Jennie Chen, Co-founder of FitX, about standing heels-to-the-wall to compare your two feet, the thumb-width test done standing (he prefers half a thumb), squeezing the upper to judge width, and why width is the hardest thing to check. He explains the D and B industry averages for men's and women's widths and how a foot tracing can help. Damien Howell is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with clinical and teaching experience in orthopedic physical therapy. His work includes gait and movement analysis, helping people understand how they move and what may contribute to recurring injuries. Part of FitX's Conversations with Experts series.
