Osteoarthritis of the knee, or osteoarthritis, is a common health problem in the United States, especially among the elderly. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, this health problem is one of the leading causes of disability in the elderly. According to the society, the risk of disability associated with knee osteoarthritis is comparable to disability from cardiovascular disease. The disease is caused by toe deformities that cause the knee to collapse outward and loss of articular cartilage within the knee joint, resulting in reduced cushioning between the femur and tibia.

Dr. Phil Hoffman published a study in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in 1905, more than 100 years ago, entitled "Conclusions Drawn from a Comparative Study of Barefoot and Shoe-Wearing Feet," which has been largely ignored for more than a century.

Most people's feet are different lengths on both sides. You may be wondering which foot size to fit which foot. In such cases, the "foot width (sokufuku)" is what you need.

Correct foot measurement is essential to selecting the correct size shoe. Note that failure to get this measurement right can lead to wearing the wrong shoe size, which can greatly reduce the function of the toes and feet.

The most common cause of toe deformity is the choice of shoes and how they are worn. If the toes do not slip in the shoes or if the shoes are not warped, the feet will not deform. Here are some pointers on shoe selection to prevent deformed feet.
