Karen’s Opinion

I Won!

There are a few blogs that I read every day and one of them is Val’s blog at Mom Knows Everything. A few weeks ago, she had a giveaway for a Lady Foot Locker gift certificate. I need new running shoes so much. In fact, I am afraid that I am damaging my feet because I continue to wear a pair of tennis shoes that no longer support my feet the way they should. I just never seem to set aside the money to get a decent pair of shoes but now the money is there for me. Thanks Val and thanks Lady Foot Locker!

I am so excited that I went to Lady Foot Locker’s website to find a location near me. I also found advice on how to get a shoe that fits.

• Do your ankles slant inward with very little space between your arch and the floor? If so, you most likely have an overpronated foot type with flat feet. You should look for women’s running shoes with motion control or stability features for maximum support.
• Do your ankles slant outward, placing more of your weight on the outside of the foot? This means you probably have an underpronated foot type with high, rigid arches. Opt for cushioned women’s running shoes with flexible soles to add extra shock absorption to your gait.
• Little or no slant in your ankles when standing indicates a neutral foot type. Select from neutral women’s running shoes without extreme motion control, stability or cushioned features for the best fit and performance.

I am armed with money and knowledge! I could be very dangerous!
