Soccer/Football Foot Problems

Hello everyone,

I have been running the store for over a month and a half now and I see a lot of kids with foot issues especially in football and soccer. Soccer and football cleats offer no cushioning or protection for your feet unfortunately. Also, you can not get soccer or football shoe in a wide. You have to buy a half size bigger and lace your shoes differently. I have been recommending to my customers, Superfeet. Our orthopedic doctors in our area recommend these insoles to their patients who have foot problems.

Goto superfeet.com for more details. I will be offering these online in the near future once my ecommerce site is complete. Stay tuned!

That is all for now.

Thanks,
Keith

Welcome!

Hello everyone,

It is time for me to get this blog rolling. I officially took over On the Run Sports in Warrenton, VA on August 8. I want to thank Coach Mike for having the confidence that I can take OTRS to the next level. We are hoping to become the running and sports specialty store of choice in the Warrenton area. We offer running shoes, gu, superfeet and spenco insoles (great for those who have foot issues), and other running gear such as compression and winter gear. We also offer soccer cleats and shin guards, swimming accessories like goggles and caps, and hockey assessories. We do have a good line of wrestling gear.

The purpose of this blog is to share information on running and sports and my personal experiences. I will share information like typical running and sports injuries, how to prevent them, nutrition, how to pick the right shoes, etc. I became a fitness fanatic about five years ago when I had major health issues. Running has become a passion of mine and a way for me to stay healthy. I will share my own journey into increasing my fitness and health. I am also a cardiac runner. I had major heart surgery in 2008 to replace my aortic valve with a mechanical one. I am on warafin everyday which I do not wish on anyone. I was born with a bicuspid valve. Even with all of those issues I am able to run 5Ks in the 19s and 20s. Today, I am healthy and fit.

I look forward to our journey together with this blog and if I am able to help one person then I feel it is a success.

Cheers,
Keith
