• Always re-lace the shoes you are trying on. Begin at the farthest eyelets and apply even pressure as you crisscross the lacing pattern to the top of the shoe.
• There should be a firm grip of the shoe to your heel. Your heel should not slip as you walk or run.
• If you participate in a specific sport three or more times a week, you should select a sport specific shoe.
By following these suggestions you may avoid injury and even enhance your athletic performance. For more information and resources on foot and ankle care go to the AOFAS website, and click on Patient Education and Resources. The site also features a surgeon referral service that makes it easy for patients to find a local orthopaedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle care.
