Supportive Running Shoes

How To Find The Best Running Shoes | Health Hub Articles

by Herman Valdamirin

Finding the right running shoes for your needs is one of the most important tasks you will embark on as a runner, what the majority of people do not realise when looking for running shoes is that we all have different shaped feet. If you try on a running shoe and buy it just because it slipped onto your foot you need to be wary of future injuries. You should have a rough idea of what you are actually looking to buy before you go out shopping, otherwise you may suffer from common injuries such as Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, black toenails, knee and hip pain, and many more needlessly enough to say not a very nice list.

Determine Your Foot Type

Before you go to some of your favourite stores shopping, please take a moment to carry out some tests to determine your foot type. To do this you can simply take a footprint of yourself stepping on a wet brown paper bag, once you have done this check out what your foot print looks like. You may fall into the following categories normal arc, flat feet, or a high arch.

The Road to the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc – Majorca 70.3 Ironman

31.12.69

For me, the road to the Ultra –Trail du Mont Blanc is littered with competitive events. It has to be because – hopefully – they give you an edge which training on its own can’t provide. In the past six months I’ve taken part in three ultra-marathon events and two cyclosportives, and now I’m just back from Majorca where I took part in an Ironman 70.3 in Majorca.

The 70.3 refers to the total distance in miles covered during the race – exactly half the full Ironman distance (of which I’ve done six going back to 2006). But I hadn’t done a triathlon for two years so I was anxious.

The event started with a 1.2 mile sea swim in the calm waters off Alcudia on the north coast of the island. That was followed by a 56-mile bike ride, including a wonderful climb into the mountains, and then a flat, three-loop run of 13.1 miles.

A sell-out field of 3,200 competitors came from all over the world for the event, now in its third year. The majority of entrants were British. Majorca, it seems, is not only a holiday destination we Brits love, we’re also flocking there for sporting events.

Supportive shoes (as supportive as running shoes) appropriate for the office?

Oct 16, 2009 by p84b | Posted in Other - General Health Care

I'm standing and walking all day in the classroom & my feet are killing me. I've been wearing flats, even flats with orthotics in them, but they still hurt. I've gotten a pair of Cobbie Cuddlers & they help, but I'm looking for classroom-appropriate

I would probably recommend a pair of mbt's if I was serious about having a very supportive shoe that could be used in an office setting. But the best solution is probably just to buy a very supportive pair of insoles to place in the shoes you already
