Common Running Injuries
MORE THAN JUST A SHOE STORE
SHOE FITTINGS
Based on arch type, cushioning level, and pronation style shoe need to be fit or "matched" properly to specific feet. Shoes have a finite life expectancy whether used or unused. Under normal circumstances this means switching shoes every 300-500 miles or about 6 months of consistent wear. If you work, laugh, play, and also run in shoes, this timeframe can be very different.
I.e. Standing on your feet for 4 hours a day without any running = 6 month replacement time
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis (Policeman's Heel) accounts for over 3 million foot injuries in the United States. It is caused by small tears in the tissue that extends throughout the bottom of the foot. It is usually noticed from a stabbing or sharp pain directly in front of the heel.
