The Importance Of The Correct Shoes

Make sure the shoe fits

Walk to warm up your feet to let them swell to full size

Wear the sock you'll wear when walking

Choose the size that comfortably fits the larger foot

Leave a thumb width of space between your toes and the end of your shoe

Make sure the shoes don’t slip at the heel when taking a step

Make sure the shoes don’t pinch at the widest part of your foot when taking a step.

New Balance walking shoes are available in 4 width fittings. Because the shoes that fit better, perform better. Walking produces a different action to that of running. The way in which the foot strikes the ground has a different effect on the knees, hips and lower back. All New Balance walking shoes are designed with the Walking Strike Path outsole to assist with the central pressure path of the walking motion.

Running shoes

Designed purely for the action of running

Weight shifts forward on your foot differently to walking. Designed for high impact. (Vertical impact force: 3 times the body weight)

Thicker heels impede the natural heel-to-toe roll of the walking stride

Heel forces forefoot down quickly which can lead to shin pain
