Did you ever stop to think that maybe your shoes are the reason you don’t run well? Or that they could even be causing injury???

I know I never did.

Two things came to mind when I saw this article on shoes:
1) one day I let my daughter run on grass without her shoes – her running form was soooo much better than usual (hmmm…maybe the article has a point)

2) I remember one of my coaches saying that your equipment can hinder your performance if it’s not the best equipment for you (i.e. wrong size bat, glove doesn’t fit well, shoes no longer have grip, etc)

Unfortunately I don’t know what ANY softball cleat is designed to encourage proper sprint technique, but you can definitely do something about your equipment and the other issues mentioned above.

Make sure that your equipment works best for you!
