Why wearing proper footwear during athletic activity is a must

Whether you're playing professionally or for fun, wearing the proper attire, footwear, and gear is important. Not only will it allow you better movement, but it also helps to make sure that you are protected in performing difficult movements, especially if you are undergoing sports injury rehabilitation.

 

Here are some reasons why you should wear proper footwear during athletic activities:

If the shoes don’t feel naturally comfortable on your feet, they may be the wrong size, or the wrong design required for certain activities or movements. Wearing the wrong shoes, even if only for a short period may cause pain and stress to your tissues, bones, and joints.
