Tips To Choose Good Shoes For You
- Avoid shoes with pointed toes. The toe area should be deep enough to allow your toes to move freely and prevent your toes in an uncomfortable position. Buy shoes that have enough space for your toes.
- Avoid very high heels, those might look good on you but pushing your body out of alignment it could increasing risk of knee and back problems. The higher the heel, the more it affects your comfort.
- If you have to buy high heels, your heel should fit relatively tightly and should not loose too much around the heel when you walk.
- Try them on both feet, sometimes right foot larger than the left one, vice-versa for lefties.
- Don't adjust the shoes while you're sitting or just stand up straight, try to walk on those few feet and feel the friction, if it hurts, it won't be your shoes.
- Buy shoes in the evening, your feet start swelling in the morning until about 4 p.m.
- "Running shoes should be replaced after about 350-400 miles of use" said Clifford Jeng, MD (a foot and ankle surgeon at Mercy Medical Center, Baltimore).
- Don't choose shoes based on sizes, that a 7 in a Adidas can have a slight different as a 7 in a Nike, just put them on to make it sure, don't assume by sizes.
- "It's a myth that foot size doesn't change in adults, it does change as we get older" said Steven Raiken, MD (Director of Foot and Ankle services and a Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Thomas Jefferson Medical College).
- Many podiatrists suggest that you measure your foot while standing in a weight bearing position because the foot elongates and flattens when you stand, affecting the measurement and the fit of the shoe.
- Running or any other sport shoes should be breathable to keep your feet cool and comfortable while you work out.
- Walking shoes have more rigidity in the front so you can roll off your toes rather than bend through them as you do with running shoes.
- A heel cup provides a better way to slightly relief pain beneath the heel and meant to give support around the heel reduce gravity pressure on the tender spot.
Interesting Article : Barefoot Running by Daniel Liebman (Harvard biologist)
Jogging barefoot might actually be better for our bodies than running in sneakers. Running shoes have only been popular for the past 30 years or so. Before that, people had to do without the luxury of cushioned heels. Those cushions make a huge difference in the way people naturally move. Several groups of US and Kenyan athletes running with or without shoes. Some had spent their whole lives running barefoot, some were lifelong shoe people, and others had recently converted to one camp or the other. Sneaker people hit the ground heel-first, while the barefoot people stepped toes or mid-foot first.
When you strike the ground heel-first, you send a massive shock wave up your body. It's like "someone hitting you on the heel with a hammer two to three times your body weight." Running barefoot is a totally different story. When you land toes-first, almost no force slams into your feet because your weight is better distributed and your steps are bouncier.
Ans there's no way our ancestors—without the aid of Adidas or Puma—could have run heel-first. It would've put too much stress on their bodies. So running shoes have changed the way we move.
