Components of a Good Shoe:
A good shoe should have a cushioning system to handle high impact, proper sole support for foot stabilization, and a good overall fit.
Differences Between Walking, Running, and Everyday Shoes:
Walking and running shoes are quite similar, with running shoes being better suited for higher-impact activities. Running shoes can be used for walking, but walking shoes are not ideal for running due to their lower impact support.
Fitting Wide vs. Narrow Feet:
It's important to visually assess how a shoe fits. Foot shape and where the foot is widest play a significant role. Even if a shoe is designed for wide feet, it may not fit properly if the widest points of the foot and shoe don’t align.
Gait Analysis:
TC Running conducts gait analyses, considering arch and ankle flexibility, foot shape, and volume. We observe customers walking or running on a treadmill to ensure the shoe provides adequate support.
Signs You Need New Shoes:
If it’s been over a year since you bought new shoes, or if you feel achy and sore after six to eight months of use, it’s time for a new pair. These signs indicate that the cushioning and support of your current shoes are wearing out.
TC Running offers a great selection of shoes and has been a reliable source for Dr. Madeline's footwear needs. For proper support and comfort, consider visiting TC Running.
