Did you know? Walking shoes usually wear out in
about 6 months when used often, so replace them
when worn. Good cushioning in the soles can reduce
ankle or knee strain.
Shoe Shopping Tips
Visit sport shoe stores with experienced personnel
ready to help you find the right fit. Experts recommend
running shoes, which provide extra cushioning and
thick, flexible soles to absorb shock. Shoes should feel
comfortable right out of the box – before buying, walk
around in them in the store for a few minutes.
Tips : Try on shoes late in the day, when your feet
tend to swell slightly; fit the larger foot. Allow a half
inch between the end of your longest toe and the
tip of your shoe.
