protection to our against materials that could harm us and gives
us a comfort way to travel without any problems. Shoes are
really needed especially that it supports the posture of our

bodies rarely have naturally proper posture, and so walking
without support can cause issues to develop. Because of this, it
is important to wear supportive shoes or use orthotic inserts to
improve your posture ( J.Gunningham 2017 ). It is a basic need
that everyone should have however, many companies and brands use
this as an advantage for them which they innovate those types of
shoes for them to have a higher sales comparing to others. They
put designs which have a potential to be better against the
other brands and increase their popularity to build a name for
their selves. It has been a problem in the whole society if
which brand could suit the best for them. Shoes were built for
our comfort ability but as years go by, shoes were evolving
because of the designs implemented ( Dawkins 2016 ).
