A member asked:

Are wearing skate shoes too often bad for your feet?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Thomas Inwood answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Skates: That depends on the construction of the skate shoes and how tight or not they are . Some skate shoes will accomodate orthotics , which is very good . Without you in front of me to see your feet and /or x rays that is truly difficult to answer. See your podiatrist for assistance and /or any problems
