#55 - Buying New Shoes? Listen To This First!

In this episode we talk all things feet and footwear... How your feet were meant to function, what criteria make for a good shoe, and why the modern day running shoe actually makes it harder to have good running form. Not all shoes are created equally! Before you go out and purchase the first pair you come across, it’s important to understand how the shoes you wear impact your foot.  Unfortunately, most stores you go to will have a very limited selection of shoes that are based on the newest marketing trend. Maybe you’ll even get an “expert” that sizes you up into an overpriced cast that will actually lead to more pain and bad running form. No-one ever asks what the sales clerk’s qualifications are when they perform this service, do they? The problem is that we’ve got the whole industry backwards. We’re trying to squeeze our feet into shoes made to look a certain way instead of buying shoes that are made for our feet. If you don’t care about how well your feet can function, not having knee pain, or being able to run well, then skip this article. But if you’re interested in providing your body with the best tools to succeed, you’re in the right place. P.S. - If you’re in foot pain, check this out - https://grahamtuttle.com/faf_landing
