Dr. Rosenstein,
I love wearing my UGG Boots, but my feet have been hurting lately and I think it's from the boots. I'm not ready to give them up yet! Can you tell me why my feet may be hurting from them?
Some girls may think they are treating their feet to something nice and comfortable, however they do quite the opposite and can cause future complications.
UGGs warm, soft, and cozy are really no better for your feet than those terrible high heels!
The number one concern with UGGS is the lack of arch support. Arch support is important for helping the foot absorb shock and poor arch support can mean future complications for your feet.
Another concern with UGGS is the fact that your feet tend to slip and move around inside of them as you walk. With each step that is taken all the force tends to fall towards the inside of the foot. This then flattens the arch and makes it drop. This can later result in significant foot, ankle, and even hip complications.
The imitation UGGS are just as bad because they offer no substantial and necessary orthopedic support for the foot and ankle.
If must keep wearing these ugly...I mean...UGGS then wear them sparingly, like you should high heels, don't wear them if you know that your going to be on your feet for long periods of time.
