A shoe fitting and selection guide created by:
Connie Peterson and Lenny Navitskis
Purpose:
Selecting
the wrong shoe for your foot type or sport activity can lead to a myriad
of foot, ankle, lower leg, knee and hip injuries. The purpose of
this lesson is to guide students in learning how to direct consumers to
purchase the right running shoe based on shoe design and foot type.
Navigation:
It is recommended that students begin with "Anatomy of a Shoe" and follow
the pages in sequence. However, it is possible to return to this
home page from all the other pages and to skip from page to page within
the lesson. If you have to stop before you get through all the pages,
you can easily click below and resume the lesson when time permits.
