Take The 1, 2, 3 Test!

When purchasing new shoes, or checking if your shoes are still in good condition, use the following quick guidelines:

1. Look for a stiff heel cup. Press on both sides of the heel - it shouldn't collapse.

2. Check toe flexibility. The shoe should bend with your toes. It shouldn't bee too stiff of bend too much in the toe box.

3. Select a shoe that's rigid in the middle. Does your shoe twist? Your shoe should never twist in the middle.

(These tips are suggested by the American Podiatric Medical Association)
