Footwear - The Power of Perfect Fit

6th April 2021 by


The purpose of a shoe is provide comfort and protect your feet from the ground; allowing you to go on great adventures. When a shoe does not meet this goal, it’s most likely to sit at the bottom of a shoe rack living a solitary life. Or worse, you push through discomfort to put the shoe to some use. This can lead to soreness or serious injury when worn over a long period. A well fitted shoe means you can run the distance you want, walk over technical terrain, or even just survive day to day tasks in comfort.
