Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
You need to choose the right type of shoe for walking or jogging, so that, knee pain or back pain can be reduced.
There are 3 types of feet. I would describe each type with shoe pattern:
1) Flat Feet: It means NO arch in foot. The bottom of your foot, from your toes to your heel, is completely flat.
SHOE: You will probably need a running shoe that maintains your stability. Look for the words "motion control" and "stability" on the box of running shoes you are considering.
2) High-arched Feet: You'll notice a high and definite arch on your foot. When you push your hand against the bottom of your foot, your arch will stay rigid.
SHOE: You need to look for flexible running shoes with a soft mid sole that absorbs shock. When buying running shoes, look for options with the words "flexible" or "cushioned" included in their descriptions.
3) Neutral or Normal Feet: If you've examined your foot and it doesn't look like flat-footed or high-arched, you most likely have a neutral or normal foot.
SHOE: If you have normal feet, you can choose from a wide variety of running shoes, including ones made for neutral runners or those with slightly flat-footed or high-arched feet. Don't pick running shoes that have lot of stability or motion control.
Hope, I have answered your query. If you don't have any other query, you can close the discussion.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.
