With the population getting both older and more sedentary, the Government have realised that if we do not take adequate exercise we do our health serious harm.

However, as we age we may experience hip and spine problems which make walking for any length of time difficult.

If this is the case with you, you will be pleased to know that the Rieker Shoes brand is there to help you out.  Rieker Ladies Shoes are both up-to-date and have arch support to make walking less of a problem.

I should know; I had a lengthy back operation in my forties and in order to keep it going I kept on walking with shoes made for the job in hand.  To date I am very mobile and got myself a dog so I have to keep on going.

To wear sensible shoes is a horrible expression because more often than not it means ugly footwear.  If you should have a look at the above brand you will know what I mean.

In the winter it is also important to wear shoes that will give you good grip in foul weather as well as give your feet the support they need.

You need not to be suffering from back problems to need help.  Many women in their forties who have worn cramped high heels all their life may experience foot problems. You may want to wear shoes with arch support at this time to prevent problems getting worse later on in life.

It does not mean that you will always have to wear them.  There is nothing against wearing your favourite heels if you are off to a Christmas party. As long as you do not wear them all the time your feet will do the walking for many years to come.

Arch support will reduce strain on the muscles. This feature in a shoe will allow your feet to flex naturally.  Although shoes with support are recommended, a cheap fix could be to buy special insoles which do a similar job.
