FOR RUNNERS

Athletic shoes increase traction and protect your feet from specific stresses encountered in a given sport. The differences in design and characteristics between sneakers reflect the activities that the wearer is engaged in. That means that a running shoe will differ from a tennis shoe, because they are inherently built to encounter different stress (forward motion vs. lateral motion). Additionally, foot structure varies from person to person, and therefore, not every sneaker is good for every person. For example, over-pronators, under-pronators, and high arched feet all need different support. We will evaluate your feet and recommend the appropriate shoe gear for your activity. It is important to note, that even the best-made sneakers cannot replace the stability and function of a custom-molded orthotic.
