Are You Shoes Doing You Justice? Find Out What They Should Be Doing

Posted on 24. Apr, 2010 by Guy in Fitness & Exercise, Martial Arts, Pain Management

Here is a short clip from Nike to show you what any shoe should be doing for your feet, allowing all the joints to move freely inside your shoe will not only feel more comfortable, help you perform better, but also reduce impact throughout your joints and reduce the chance of injury.

So not to look like a simple advert for Nike Free 5.0 I’ll recommend some other foot ware for a variety of occasions. Terra Plana – ‘Vivo Barefoot’, Vibram – ‘Five Fingers’ and Onitsuka – Tiger ‘Tai chi’ to name but a few. Any shoe with multi-planar mobility will do. Slippers often fit that bill too!!

N.B. Mobile foot ware is best used periodically at first to allow for the change and increased motion. It is also prudent to re-educate the joints of the foot precisely with either professional advice or a structured foot mobility program.
