Basketball season is around the corner—and whether you’re in a league or just hitting the court for fun, choosing the right footwear could be your most important play. At Chiropractic Life and Wellness Center in New Fairfield, CT, we help active individuals avoid back pain before it sidelines them.
Your Shoes Could Be the MVP (or the Problem)
Poor-fitting shoes affect your entire kinetic chain—ankles, knees, hips, and ultimately your spine. Every step sends force up through the body, and if your shoes don’t support your stride, it’s your lower back that often pays the price.
Know Your Foot Type
Before buying athletic shoes, determine your arch type—normal, flat, or high-arched. A quick wet footprint test can help, or visit Chiropractic Life and Wellness Center for a posture and gait analysis.
Normal Arch: Opt for stability shoes with slight curve.
Flat Foot: Choose motion-control shoes with firm midsoles.
High Arch: Go for cushioned, flexible shoes to encourage shock absorption.
Tips for Shoe Shopping
Shop at the end of the day when feet are largest.
Bring your usual socks or orthotics for a proper fit.
Get both feet measured—often one is larger than the other.
Fit should leave about a finger’s width at the toe.
Try walking around in the shoes for at least 10 minutes before deciding.
Time to Replace?
Athletic shoes should typically be replaced every 300–500 miles. Don’t wait for visible wear—the cushioning and support often break down long before the shoe looks worn.
Worn-out shoes are a common culprit behind shin splints, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, and chronic low back pain. Don’t let old gear derail your game or your health.
