Health Tip: Buy the Right Running Shoes
By LadyLively on August 11, 2016
Using the correct running shoes can help your feet feel great and protect against injury.
Here are guidelines for which shoes to buy, courtesy of the American Podiatric Medical Association:
- Choose running shoes that offer plenty of shock absorption.
- Look for shoes that are compatible with your arch type, whether it’s high, medium or low. Meet with a podiatrist, who can help identify your type of arch.
- Get a new pair of running shoes about every eight months.
- Understand that good shoes can help prevent problems including plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, shin splints and Morton’s neuroma.
