US Foot & Ankle Specialists is proud to announce that Dr. Priya Parthasarathy and Dr. Elizabeth Bass Daughtry were recently featured as expert contributors in a national article published by CNN Underscored, highlighting the best slip-on exercise and walking shoes.
The article focuses on footwear options designed to offer both convenience and proper support—an increasingly important topic as more people look for shoes that fit busy, active lifestyles without sacrificing foot health. Slip-on shoes are often chosen for ease and comfort, but without the right structure and support, they can contribute to pain, instability, or long-term foot issues.
Drawing from their clinical experience, Dr. Priya Parthasarathy and Dr. Elizabeth Daughtry shared professional insight into what patients should look for when selecting slip-on footwear. Their guidance emphasized the importance of proper cushioning, stability, fit, and design features that help reduce stress on the feet during walking and daily activity. These considerations are especially critical for individuals who spend long hours on their feet, exercise regularly, or manage chronic foot conditions.
Expert input from practicing podiatry professionals helps bridge the gap between product recommendations and real-world foot health needs. By contributing to this article, both providers helped ensure that readers received evidence-based guidance rooted in patient care, not just product trends.
