Footwear

Being fit in the right shoe is an important step to preventing injury and enhancing your fitness experience. Whether you are just beginning a walking program, training for your first marathon, or are on your feet all day and need some foot relief, we can help!

All day long we help people with foot issues that are directly related to the fact that they are wearing shoes for too long. Most folks are unaware of the following footwear facts:

1. When used regularly, your technical shoe will last between 4 and 6 months.
2. A quality athletic shoe will provide effective support for up to 500 miles, but may only last for 250 or 300 miles, depending upon how it is being used.
3. If you find yourself becoming additionally fatigued after a "normal" workout, it may be your shoes calling out for help.
4. If you are suddenly dealing with shin splints, it may be footwear related.
5. Most people wear their shoes far too long because they still "look good."
