Bridge Run Tip: Don't wait to get New Shoes
With the Cooper River Bridge Run only a month away, please don't wait until only a couple days before to replace your running or walking shoes...even if you plan on replacing them with the same exact pair, give it a couple of weeks to break them in properly. Just because they look the same doesn't mean they will feel the same and you may end up with blisters and more.
We are looking forward to the run and hope to see you there!

Run that Extra Stuffing off with the Right Shoe
Heading out to exercise off that extra stuffing you might gain after Thanksgiving. Make sure your walking or running shoes are in good shape. Dr. Adam Brown is an avid runner and always has tips. Here's what to look for.
Athletic shoes need to be replaced after one year, whether or not they are worn, and after a certain amount of repetitive load is placed on them and wears them down.
The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine advises replacing running or walking shoes after 300 to 500 miles of wear, and replacing aerobic, basketball, and tennis shoes after 45 to 60 hours of wear.
Athletic shoes should also be replaced if they show signs of unevenness when placed on a flat surface, display noticeable creasing, and/or when the heel counter breaks down.

What your shoes say about you...
Examining old shoes before buying new ones can help you evaluate your wear patterns and buy new shoes with a better fit and style that compensates for the stresses you place on shoes.
What are your shoes trying to tell you? Here is a translation of basic wear patterns:
A bulge and wear to the side of the big toe means too-narrow fit or you have a bunion.
Outer sole wear means you turn your foot out. Orthotics may help.
Toe-shaped ridges on the upper means your shoes are too small or you have hammertoes.
Wear on the ball of the foot means your heel tendons may be too tight.
Wear on the inner sole means you pronate or turn your foot inward. Inner liners or orthotics may help.
Wear on the upper, above the toes means the front of your shoe is too low. We have two locations to help you!
