5 Tips on Finding the Right Running Shoes
With so many sports shoe options available, how do you know what is right for you? Correctly fitting shoes ensure the ideal support and cushioning for the activity you do in them. Correct footwear is important to reduce the risk of overuse injuries.
Tip #1:
Run in shoes specifically designed to provide shock absorption and support for running
Tip #2:
A professional fitting ensures the correct size and support for your feet
Tip #3:
Slowly increase your wear to allow your feet to settle into new shoes. Avoid blisters and bruised toes
Tip #4:
Old and worn shoes increases injury risk. Shoes decrease in shock absorption and support as materials break down
Tip #5:
It is recommended that shoes are replaced after 500-600 kms of wear
Correct shoes for your feet reduce the risk of injury!

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
