Running month

Have you seen our window yet this month?  It's all about running.


Running is the hottest sport going right now.  People are training for marathons, 10K's, 5K's ~ you name it and people are out running it.


A good running shoe can make or break any training program so if you plan to start hitting the pavement this summer.  Make sure your shoes are in good shape, are the correct shoe for your foot type, and will help you reach top speed.


At Sole Obsession Footwear we spend a great deal of time learning about proper fitting and support for various types of feet.  So if you're unsure about what you should be running (or walking) in, come by and let us watch you walk.  We can help you figure out the best shoe for you.



Here's a great article on the importance of proper fitting shoes and how to tell if your shoes are "worn out": Marines learn differences between good, bad running shoes 



Looking for a more technical way to calculate your running shoe life expectancy.  This fitness expert has come up with quite the formula: Calculate how long your running shoes should last


The bottom line?  Find out what you need to do to get out, pound some pavement, and feel great while doing it.  (Or at least as great as you can while running.)
