Even in the best of cases, shoes cause a lot of problems for feet. This is particularly acute in athletic shoes where the foot is required to perform at optimal levels. If the shoe is a good design and a good fit for the athlete, the interference can be minimized. When it is not, it can be a disaster. Finding this match and achieving this fit is not nearly as easy as some might think.
Shoes are a lot like prescription medicine.
Finding your prescription takes careful observation and, frankly, a lot of face to face work. Choosing a shoe without actually trying it on is a lot like getting a physical exam by mail. As long as you know precisely what to look for, you can describe your problem to the physician and he can mail you the medicine. At Movin Shoes we have more skill than anyone in the business at making the right match between shoes and athlete, but we know we're not good enough to do it by mail or over the internet. No one is.
