👟 Are You Wearing the Right Shoes? Here’s Why It Matters!
We don’t often think about our shoes—until they start causing us pain. Whether you’re a runner, dancer, athlete, or just someone who spends a lot of time on your feet, wearing the wrong shoes can lead to pain, discomfort, and even injuries. That’s why I sat down with Corey and Amanda from Fleet Feet Nashville for this episode of Precision Pod to talk about the importance of proper footwear, custom fittings, and how the right shoes can transform the way you move.
Fleet Feet is known for helping people find the perfect shoe fit, but it’s not just about comfort—it’s about injury prevention, performance, and long-term foot health. In our conversation, we dive into their custom fitting process, what they screen for, and why finding the right shoe is a game-changer for anyone who’s active.
What We Covered in This Episode
1️⃣ The Science Behind a Proper Shoe FitDid you know that your feet change over time? Many people are wearing the wrong size shoes simply because they haven’t had a professional fitting in years! Corey and Amanda explain why shoe size isn’t just about length, but also width, arch height, and foot shape—all of which affect how you move.
2️⃣ Gait Analysis: What It Tells You About Your MovementOne of the standout services at Fleet Feet is their gait analysis, where they assess how you walk and run to find a shoe that supports your natural movement. Whether you have flat feet, high arches, or pronation issues, getting the right shoe can help correct imbalances and prevent common injuries like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and knee pain.
