After a long, cold, snowy winter in the Northeast, it's time to get your feet in condition for outside activities that the warm weather affords. Prior to starting a walking program, be sure you wear the correct shoes. Poorly fitting, improper or old/worn shoes are a big reason for foot injuries. If you haven't exercised all winter, start slow and build up both your cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Many over-use type injuries occur from wearing improper shoes or trying to do too much too quickly. Flip-flops should not be worn for walking, like at a mall, boardwalk or amusement park. Excessive use of flip-flops can result in foot injuries like heel pain. Remember, when your feet hurt, you hurt all over. Take care of your feet and they will take care of you.
