ranging from minor aches to severe |
defects. At the very least, 50 percent :

of those problems are caused by im-
proper or ill-fitting shoes.

Many. manufacturers promote
their running shoes as ideal for walk-
ing despite the fact that running and

. walking are two different gait func-.

tions. There is much more heel im-
pact in walking than running, so the

heel design must be different.

A good walking shoe should also
be lightweight. The difference of on-
ly four ounces in a pair of shoes has
a tremendous impact on Jeg soreness.

injury-f ree alternative to running and -

jogging, fitness: walking offers the

benefits. 1 would go so far as to say ©

that fitness walking is the best form
of aerobic exercise for the majority
of Americans over the age of 35.°”
