Woolrich

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, our feet are more vulnerable to injury than any other body part. For this reason, we should do everything necessary to protect our feet. This includes support with well-made shoes.

A number of different diseases that affect the heel, arch and tendons of the foot may be related to poorly constructed and unsupportive shoes.

Unfortunately, the risk of injury does not stop at the foot. The wrong footwear can have adverse effects on:

• your back
• ankles
• knees
• alignment of your spine
• neck

A key ingredient of long-term, supportive shoe is how it's done. Packing your feet in good materials is important in preventing injuries not only your feet, but the rest of your body as well.

and latex foam insoles memory

When it comes to finding shoes that protect your feet, the importance of quality, cushioned insole is vital. You'd be hard pressed to find something that beats the comfort and support of memory foam or latex soles. elastomeric foam molds to the shape of your foot and provides arch support, increased stability and no pressure on the ball of the foot and on your joints. Latex soles divert pressure away from the foot and are ideal for all year wear. Latex is breathable to keep feet feeling fresh and cool in summer and warm in the winter. Both memory foam and latex soles help absorb the shock of each step you take, ensuring ultimate protection for the foot.

The number of steps an individual takes in one day is highly variable. But according to a study conducted by Dr. Catrine Tudor-Locke and published in "Medicine and Science in sport and exercise," it is safe to say that the average person takes between 5.000 to 10.000 steps per day . Now that's a bit of wear on the foot. So even if you're smart.
