From computer specs down to the peripherals used, top gamers want to be the best by using the best. Now, companies like K-Swiss and Puma are looking to help gamers in an area overlooked before: footwear. The marketing language used for both shoes aims to help gamers reach their maximum performance. But could a shoe actually improve your performance in a game?

Maggie Fournier, DPM, a podiatrist with Gundersen Health System in Wisconsin, says the shoes won’t improve your performance. But it may help you play at your best. A key component to any equipment, including shoes, comes down to the comfort. That alone can bring out your best effort. “You need to be comfortable in them and some stylish shoes might not be comfortable yet they look good,” Dr. Fournier said. “If you walk around and you’re not comfortable, you’re starting to have pain, then maybe the shoe is the first thing to look at.”
