You may need any of the following: 1  Wrist supports: A cast or splint may be put on your fingers, hand, and wrist to support your wrist and prevent further damage. Ask for more information about wearing casts and splints. 2  NSAIDs: These medicines decrease swelling and pain. NSAIDs are available without a doctor's order.
Walking shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles (or every 3 to 6 months). Replace your shoes when you can tell the difference between your old pair and a new pair. Do not go by their appearance. The inner support can be very worn while they still look OK on the outside.
Owning running shoes gives you more than just street cred; it opens up a whole new world of opportunity you never thought was possible. Just like you wouldn't show up to a skate park with a football, you shouldnât enter a 5K wearing clunky gym shoes. Fit and comfort are the cornerstones to a properly designed shoe. In fact, itâs often said the best shoes are the ones that cradle your feet. No blisters, no aches, and no pains mean youâve got a winning pair. For consistent runners, a shoe will last anywhere between 300 to 500 miles, or three to four months.
