Sandals Don’t Have to Hurt Your Feet

May 29, 2013 By Complete Runner

Teva barracuda Sandal

It isn’t surprising that sandal wear increases as the temperature increases.  It may be surprising, however, that the number of planter fasciitis cases also increase during this time from the lack of support that sandals offer. 

Most sandals offer convenience and a relaxed feel but a rather nominal arch support at best.  Imagine the potential harm you are doing to your feet when you walk around in cheap sandals all summer long, especially when you put them on right after your race to get out of your running shoes.  In the same way that you should have your feet fitted to determine the best pair of shoes for your feet, you should do the same for sandals especially if you wear them a lot in the summer.

Complete Runner offers the most respected brands in sandals like Teva (Barracuda shown), Chaco, and Sole that are sure to give you awesome comfort and arch support your feet need.  They also come in a wide variety of styles, since we don’t like that “one type fits all” approach.

Whether you are walking around town, on vacation, or after a summer race, be sure to keep your feet protected from planter fasciitis with quality sandals with arch support.

Sandals With Arch Support

July 17, 2012 By Complete Runner

Tiva Tirra Sandals

Most people prefer to wear sandals in the summer to keep cool or as a convenience to wearing shoes.  However, the great deal you got on those $1 flip flops will most likely end up costing you aching feet and possible time off from running.  Combine the lack of support with a lot of walking and you are flirting with a classic case of planter fasciitis, a runner’s worst nightmare.

Don’t make the mistake of buying cute flip flops this summer that aren’t much more than a piece of cardboard strapped to the bottom of your feet.  Yes, summer is a time of relaxation and fun but make sure you don’t neglect your feet.  When you are in need of a good pair of comfortable sandals for your summer fun or to wear after a race you should look really consider some Teva sandals.  Teva offers some of the best arch support you will find anywhere in a sandal, or a regular shoe for that matter!

The many varieties of slip on and strap up Teva’s will be sure to please your feet with great arch support and comfort this summer, especially after those $1 flip flops.
