| The “FITLOSOPHY” |
| |
The Footwear FITLOSOPHY Begins With Education
The Phases of the Gait Cycle:
- Stance Phase begins when the heel of the forward limb makes contact with the ground and ends when the toe of the same limb leaves the ground.
- Heel Strike: heel of front foot touches the ground
- Mid Stance: foot is flat on the ground and the weight of the body is directly over the supporting limb.
- Toe Off: Only the big toe of the forward limb is in contact with the ground.
- Swing Phase foot is no longer in contact with the groundand free to move.
- Acceleration the swinging limb catches up to and passes the torso.
- Deceleration the forward movement of the limb is slowed down to position the foot for heel strike.

Consumer Tip:
Don't buy your shoes and sports bra based on how they look! Focus on how they fit and work for your biomechanics. You will be happiest if they work they way they should, keeping you injury free and comfortable for miles and miles! |
