Many sports subject your feet to great stress. For every mile you run, your foot strikes the ground at a force equal to eight times your body weight. What absorbs that extra shock? Your feet, of course. High speeds, sudden stops or changes in direction place more stress on the foot and shoe, increasing the risk of injury. Due to the complexity of the foot, injuries are common.

Your feet were not designed with concrete and asphalt walking surfaces in mind. Neither were they intended to be imprisoned in unforgiving footwear for 15 hours at a stretch. To make matters worse, shoes are designed to fit the "average" foot, not necessarily your foot.

Fortunately, there is a simple and effective solution. Have your feet measured for a pair of Amfit custom insoles made by The Shoe Doctor. These insoles make your shoes (athletic, dress, casual) fit as if they were custom made for you.
