It’s a sign of the times: people will drop three hundred dollars to buy the image that accompanies a certain pair of shoes (and sometimes get foot-jacked for their trouble!) Fortunately, it is possible to purchase a great pair of shoes with the proper fit without taking out a second mortgage. With respect to footwear, which of the following is MOST likely to be sound advice?
  1. The narrowest part of the shoe should match the size of the ball of the foot
  2. Shoes should be fitted first thing in the morning before arches have collapsed in order to ensure the shoes will fully support the foot structure
  3. Participants should choose socks that are made with synthetic fibers
  4. The participant should wear 2 pairs of socks when getting fitted in order to ensure the shoes are sized correctly
Explanation
Answer: C - Participants should look for socks that are made with synthetic fibers such as acrylic, polyester or CoolMax® for better blister prevention. When trying on shoes, the participants should wear the same weight of socks that he or she intends to use during activities. The widest part of the shoes should match the ball of the foot and - unless the participant always exercises in the morning - shoes should be tried on at the end of the day as it is not unusual for an individual’s foot size to increase by half a shoe size over the course of a day.
