Fall sports are kicking off, which means high school athletes are suddenly going from summer schedules to practices, conditioning, games, meets and tournaments. Whether your athlete is playing girls soccer, football, running cross country or playing golf, the beginning of the season is one of the most important times to pay attention to injury prevention. Young athletes are still growing, and their muscles, tendons and bones are adapting to increased workloads. Many sports injuries don't happen because of one bad step or collision. They develop gradually as the body is asked to do more than it is prepared to handle....

As the weather improves and summer activities ramp up, many people notice something else increasing too — foot pain and injuries. Every year during the warmer months, we see more cases of heel pain, arch discomfort, tendonitis, stress injuries, and sore feet. But why does this happen?

Why Shoe Sizes Still Feel So Confusing (And How SHOES-n-FEET Is Solving It) If you’ve ever tried on two shoes in the same size and they fit totally differently, trust us—you’re not imagining it. At SHOES-n-FEET, we see this every day, and there’s a good reason why it happens. A recent study of over 600 women’s running shoes showed that only 63% of shoes actually fit like a true size 9 medium. That means more than a third run too long, too short, too narrow, or too wide… even though the label says they’re the same size. And that’s exactly...
