🤔 What shoes should I wear?
Wearing good shoes can help you to feel your best and help prevent injuries.
The wrong pair of shoes can lead to not only ankle and foot pain but also knee, hip, and lower back pain.
As with most things, there is no “best” shoe, and the options are going to vary depending on your injury history and what you need from the shoe.
If you are looking for exercising shoes, some questions to consider include:
1️⃣ What is the main activity you will be doing in them?
2️⃣ How do you want your shoes to support you?
💡 Other important factors to consider include:
➡️ Comfort – this is the most important first step to consider.
➡️ Shoe width – aim for a shoe width that is both ‘snug’ enough in the toe box, but still has sufficient room for the foot to swell and move.
➡️ Stack height – this is the amount of cushioned material between the ground and the foot.
➡️ Heel drop – this is the height between the rear-foot stack height and the forefoot stack height.
➡️ Stiffness of the shoe – aim for a lighter shoe with some mid foot and forefoot shoe stiffness.
How can physio help?
✅ If you aren’t sure if your running shoes are right for you – bring them along to your appointment and get your physio to check them out.
