PAGE 74 MEDICAL CORNER ARE YOUR SHOES RUINING YOUR LIFE? It is awesome to find a pair of shoes that could make it through all your activities, it is extreme- ly important to know when to replace a pair of shoes, but equally as important to choose the right shoe for your daily activities like school, outings and sports. Different shoe designs support our feet differently and what may work for one person may not work for the next. What we may not realize is that there is a ton of technology that goes into building sneakers and wearing shoes that aren’t appropriate for our specific activities, be it school shoes, outing shoes and sport sneakers which could cause harm. For example, if you’re participating in a class or sport that requires a great deal of agility move- ments, you want a shoe that supports it. If you’re doing high impact movement and jumping, you want a shoe with shock absorption. There are certain signs to pay attention to when it comes to wearing or replacing shoes. Are you starting to feel abnormal pains in your back, ankles, legs, hips, or feet? Feeling any friction or blisters. How often are you wearing this pair? Do you also wear this pair daily and to run around? Beyond all of this, one important key is to make sure you are not only picking a shoe because it in vogue or because most of your peers have it but it has to be suitable for you, your frame and height. You are also picking shoes in the right size with adequate cushioning, shock absorption and support. By picking a shoe that is too small or too large, you’re pretty much asking for an injury. Even lacing them too tight or too loose can pose a threat. You put yourself at risk of stress fractures, ankle pain and damaged toenails. You may know your shoe size, but some styles run smaller or larger, so don’t skip the fitting, keeping in mind that our feet may swell throughout the day. With so many athletic brands and designs out there, it may take some research and a few trips to the mall, but your perfect shoe is out there! Remember to replace them as necessary and to choose functionality over style every time. Respect Responsibility Resourcefulness THE REGENT DIGEST VOLUME 8 ISSUE 22
