10% of Sports Injuries Affect the Feet
1 out of every 10 sports injuries affect the feet. Since foot injuries can affect the rest of your life, it is important to get properly fitting sneakers, and when in doubt throw them out. Sneakers that are older than 1 year usually have no arch support and can affect your feet and back adversely. Treat your feet with the respect they deserve; they have a lot riding on them!

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.
They Carry a Lot of Weight
How much do you weigh? If you are a runner multiply your weight by 4 and that this the amount of pressure your feet will feel when you run. Feet carry a lot of weight so they do need a good foot massage every now and then. They deserve it!

Feet Are Important

The next time you are thinking about squeezing your foot into an extra narrow shoe, think twice because your feet deserve to be treated right! I do not want you to have a foot injury in your life, so treat your feet well. Do you take care of your feet?
