New Year, New You!

How To Get Started on the Right Foot


With so many choices available, how do you pick the right shoe? Your shoe selection should be based on the structure of your foot. Some feet have excessive movement and some are fairly rigid. Your shoe should be reflective of this. There are 3 types of shoes:

1.   Cushion
A cushion shoe is very flexible and does not offer a lot of support. If your foot tends to be stiff and rigid, this is a better selection for you.

2.   Motion Control
A motion control shoe provides more stability and is better suited to a foot with excessive movement. If you are subject to ankle tendonitis, the extra support of this shoe will benefit you.

3.   Hybrid
The hybrid shoe is a middle of the road shoe that is a mix between cushion and motion control.

Specialty shoe stores can help you determine which fit is right for your foot type. REMEMBER: The most expensive shoe on the shelf is not necessarily the best for you!
