Walking 




Wearing walking shoes that are comfortable  and fit your feet can help prevent injuries such as blisters and calluses.

Width and length of shoes should be considered.  The toe box (forward tip of the upper part of a shoe) should also be considered.

The arch type should also be looked at.  There are 3 types of arches: neutral arched, low arched (flat feet), and high arched.  Each of these types of arches creates a specific need for the walker and sneakers should be chosen accordingly.
