DR. PAUL LANGER, A PODIATRIST IN MINNEAPOLIS, AND AUTHOR OF GREAT FEET FOR LIFE STATES, "IF YOU DO ONE TYPE OF ACTIVITIE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK, YOU NEED A SPORTS SHOE FOR THAT PARTICULAR ACTIVITY."  EACH SHOE HELPS YOUR FOOT ADAPT TO THE MOTION OF THAT PARTICULAR SPORT (YOU GO SIDE TO SIDE IN TENNIS BUT FORWARD AND BACK IN RUNNING).  "WEARING THE RIGHT SNEAKER CAN LOWER YOUR CHANCE OF INJURY"  STATES PODIATRIST LANGER.

FOOT FACTS:  THE FOOT IS COMPOSED OF 26 BONES, THEREFORE YOUR FEET COMPRISE MORE THAN 25% OF THE BODIES TOTAL BONES.  IN ONE DAY THE AVERAGE MALE TAKES OVER 7000 STEPS WHILE FEMALES TAKE OVER 5000.  THAT MEANS IN A PERSONS LIFETIME THEY WALK MORE THAN 2 TIMES AROUND THE EARTH MEASURED AT THE EQUATOR.
