With the weather getting better, everyone will be spending more time outdoors engaged in recreational activities, be it walking, hiking, or running. With all of this extra time on your feet, it is crucial to make sure your footwear is suitable and supportive. When buying shoes, you want minimal to no movement within the shoe; good support, especially in the heel counter, upper, and arch; as well as shoes that are specific for your particular activity type. All of these factors will aid in preventing injuries and make your activities much more enjoyable. Always feel free to ask your local retail shoe expert for advice!
