If you are anything like me busy could be your middle name. Mouths to feed, errands to run, drop off, pick up repeat! If you’re lucky, somewhere in that packed schedule you squeeze in a run or workout. First, you rifle through your closet and find last season’s workout pants. Next, you dust off your old running shoes. Stop right there…You might be able to get away with wearing an old pair of workout pants but wearing an old and/or ill-fitting running shoe may end up doing more harm to your body than good! It’s true that you can buy a pair of running shoes almost anywhere but only specialty running stores like Jacksonville Running Company know exactly what kind of shoe your foot needs.
Bad things can happen if you are wearing the wrong pair of shoes, from shin splints and plantar fasciitis to knee pain. The most common reason for ingrown toenails, bunions and corns is improperly fitted shoes. Did you know that your foot expands up to ½ inch when your body weight is applied so you probably need to wear a different size running shoe than every other pair in your closet? Or any guess as to how far your foot rolls inward after striking the ground? The staff at Jacksonville Running Company knows all that and a whole lot more about feet and running shoes.
So let’s get back to being too busy to shop, JRC will come to you! They totally understand that people are busy so they offer Mobile Fit, a full service on-location shoe-fitting service. JRC will go just about anywhere to your workplace, school, business or club. These running shoe experts will analyze your feet and select several kinds of shoes for you to try on that match your running style. And they even bring their treadmill equipped with a camera so you can see for yourself how the shoe affects your gait. Wearing the right shoe is especially important for moms because pregnancy changes everything about you including your feet. I would suggest getting fitted before and after baby. Take advantage of the experts at Jacksonville Running Company and literally get your run off on the right foot!
