How You Can Choose The Perfect Walking Shoes

walking shoes | health | assisted living | long island

Walking isn’t just a means of transportation, it’s also a light exercise to help keep your body and mind healthy. Rather than walking in just any old pair of shoes, you should be sporting a good pair of walking shoes. This will ensure that your feet, legs, and back stay protected from any pain and stress.

Skip the Sale Rack
When you go to the store to buy a new pair of walking shoes, skip the clearance section. There’s a reason that these shoes have been marked down to such a low price. When it comes to shoes, you get what you pay for. Go for a good pair that’s roughly in the $75 range.

Running Shoes
If you enjoy walking regularly, opt for a running shoe — even if you don’t plan on moving faster than a brisk walk. Running shoes are built to support your feet and joints under any speed. This is your best choice for avoiding any preventable injuries.

Top Foot Feature
The number one feature you should look for in a pair of shoes is motion control. Shoes with motion control are also known as “stability shoes” and will help support the curves and arches in your feet. Those who are overweight, have flat feet, or would like additional support will benefit from its shock absorbing benefits.

Worst Foot Feature
When purchasing new shoes, stay away from any shoe without a back. Backless shoes are meant for walking short distances or for around the house. Walking long distances in backless shoes can cause severe heel pain, so avoid these at all costs.

Whether you walk a lot or a little, always choose a shoe that will offer you the best support possible. For other useful tips and information, visit our blog!
