Shoes
Proper footwear may play a role in injury prevention. Choosing a running
shoe that is suitable for your particular type of foot can help you avoid
some common running–related injuries. It can also make running more
enjoyable and help you get more mileage out of your shoes.
• Always tie and untie shoes when putting them on and taking
them off.
• Expect shoes to be comfortable when you try them on. If they are
not, then do not buy them.
• How a shoe looks is not as important as proper fit or comfort.
• Replace running shoes when they begin to show visible wear or
after 500 miles of use, whichever occurs first.
• The best shoe for you may not be the most expensive. Always
try on both shoes and walk around the store to ensure they fit
before purchasing.
• If possible, shop for shoes at the end of the day instead of in the
morning. Your feet swell from being in shoes and moving around
all day.
