The Great Debate - Arch or No Arch Support

There is a lot of press these days on both sides. We are hearing that running shoes with arch support can limit injury, and others are arguing that injuries like Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), shin splints and plantar fasciitis can be caused by running in shoes with arch support. Why the different viewpoints – too many people trying really hard to sell products instead of trying to help runners. There are a bunch of articles comparing human feet to bridges and whether ‘real’ bridges should need support.

How about this crazy thought; everyone’s body is not exactly the same. Good health requires personalization.
