Runner's Toe

Have you noticed recurring blisters in the same areas on your feet? Have you experienced a small hematoma on the end of your 2^nd toe? Do you have pain in your big toe joint? These are all symptoms of poorly fitted shoes. Consider this; the average person walks 8,000-10,000 steps everyday according to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). In conjunction to this terrific amount of repetition, the APMA also estimates that every step places about 1.5 times your body weight of force on your feet! Considering these two factors, it’s not difficult to see why in just a matter of days a variety of foot pathologies can arise simply due to ill-fitting footwear. Why chance your health by not having your shoes fitted by a Podiatrist? After all, preventative medicine is always more conducive to your budget than the alternative.
