Unsupportive Shoes

One of the lesser known causes of leg cramps involves the kind of shoes one wears. For instance, children and adults who wear shoes that don’t fit properly often complain of leg cramps. In addition, when it comes to women who suffer from leg muscle pain, the primary suspects ae usually high heel shoes.

The muscles located on the lower foot are responsible for controlling leg motion and stability. This means that your footwear can have a big impact on how you feel. If you’re concerned that your shoes may be the cause, try wearing a better fitting, more comfortable pair for a week or two to see if your leg pain improves.
