These Shoes Passed Our Test.

We went straight to the experts for this shoe review: We asked a group of doctors from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) to help us ferret out styles that blend fashion and comfort. Several podiatrists wear-tested and evaluated each of these shoes for comfort, support, stability, flexibility, and construction. "Any podiatrist will tell you that a major source of foot problems and pain may be poorly constructed, inadequately supportive, and improperly fitted shoes," says Lyle Haskell, DPM, and a fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS).
