Choosing the Right Shoes - Jason Bruse, Podiatrist

Ever wondered if your shoes are doing more harm than good? In this episode of The Daily Diagnosis, podiatrist Jason Bruse sits down with Parker and April to chat about all things footwear. From running shoes to high heels, Dr. Bruse covers it all, offering insights that might make you rethink your current shoe choices. He dives into the history of shoes, common marathon training mistakes, and the debate around barefoot running.

One of his key messages is that comfort and fit are paramount—there's no universal perfect shoe. Dr. Bruse also highlights the importance of replacing running shoes every 300-500 miles and paying close attention to the midsole, which can wear out without showing obvious signs. For those looking for the ideal everyday shoe, he suggests finding one with a removable liner and a thick tongue for added cushioning.

High heel wearers get advice too, including opting for a wider toe box and a thicker tongue for extra comfort. Ski enthusiasts aren't left out either; Dr. Bruse shares tips on proper boot adjustments and ensuring your toes can wiggle inside the boot for the best fit. This episode is packed with practical advice aimed at keeping your feet happy and healthy. Tune in to learn how to step up your shoe game and avoid common foot issues.
