Abstract
The athletic shoe industry continues to offer new features and technologies, but the basic criteria for choosing athletic shoes remain the same as ever - comfort and safety. New developments such as unique designs for women and new lacing systems have improved shoe fit. Beyond the fit, knowledge of foot types and of the demands of each sport helps physicians guide patients toward shoes that will help them avoid injuries.
