It is important to choose the proper footwear for your chosen sport or activity. Runners, for example, need a shoe with a thick, stiff sole for support. A lighter shoe with less midsole support is best for volleyball players who make sudden stops. And people who play basketball and make quick turns should wear a shoe that offers ankle support with high ankle construction.*

Achy knees and sore arches could mean that your shoes are no longer giving you the support you need. Retire old sport shoes and wear them during messy chores such as gardening. You can even repurpose your old sneakers and use them as plant potters!
