Arch support

September 7, 2010

Been shelling out extra cash for running shoes designed to match your arch height? Fuggedaboutit–at least as it pertains to injury prevention. A study conducted with more than 1,300 Marines found that those given shoes with arches to support their low, high or normal arches did not experience fewer injuries when compared to the the control group who were given general stability runners.

You should, however, make sure you regularly invest in some fresh kicks for working out–the study did indicate that wearing older running shoes  may lead to increased injuries.
