Night Leg Cramps Causes

Improper Footwear

If you wear poorly fitted footwear or shoes without adequate support during the day, it might increase the amount of pressure on your foot and leg muscles. The risk is especially high in those who have flat feet or some structural issues. More importantly, improper footwear might affect circulation, thus reducing the level of oxygen and blood to these body parts. Thus, it is important to pick shoes that fit your feet snugly. Avoid putting on high heels and working or standing on hard surfaces. [10]
