PODIATRISTS AND SPORTS MEDICINE

PODIATRIST, DR. ANA URUKALO STATES "RUNNING SHOES ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FOR RUNNERS .  IT'S CERTAINLY ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT SKIMP ON.  THE RIGHT SHOE DEPENDS ON THE RUNNERS FOOT TYPE.  MOST RUNNERS HAVE PRONATED FEET.  SHOE-BUYING HAS TURNED INTO A SCIENCE, SO IT'S BEST TO LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS.  MOST RUNNING SHOE STORES HAVE STAFF THAT ARE EXPERTS IN ASSESSING THAT."

"THE TYPE OF SHOE YOU CHOOSE IS ALSO DETERMINED BY YOUR GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS.  ARE YOU RUNNING LONG DISTANCES OR SHORT?  DO YOU WANT MINIMALIST SHOES OR SOMETHING MORE STURDY?  WHAT TYPE OF TERRAIN ARE YOU RUNNING ON?  THERE ARE MANY CONSIDERATIONS AND MANY CHOICES."
