Shoe Selection Based on Injury Status
If you are not injured and comfortable in your current shoes, sticking with them is recommended. However, if you want to improve performance, lighter shoes can be beneficial. Changing shoes should be done gradually to avoid injury. For acute injuries, more supportive shoes that reduce stress on the affected area are suggested. If the injury is persistent, transitioning to shoes with less support and more flexibility can be considered.
