According to a podiatrist, there are 5 shoes you should stay away from that are not high heel shoes:

Slides: They give no support to your feet and cause your arch to collapse.

Sock sneakers: They provide no support to the top and outside of the foot which can lead to an ankle sprain.

Slingback Flats: These can lead to the same issues as Slides.

Country boots: The show is not the natural shape of the foot so the big toe is going to exacerbate a bunion, cause hammertoes and irritate neuromas.

Ankle Boots with Stilettos: Pressure is placed on the balls of the foot. It throws off one’s center of gravity putting stress on knees and the lower back.
