Getting Back on Track? Start with What's on Your Feet

By


September has a way of making everyone want a reset. The kids go back to school, the sun starts setting earlier, and that itch to get back into a routine you let slide over the summer starts creeping in.

Topo Athletic performance running shoes prepared indoors before a run, offering cushioning and lasting comfort.

If you're planning to ease back into walking or running, the simplest place to start is considering what's on your feet. Whether you reach for a pair of wide toe box zero drop shoes or a max cushion design, the idea is the same: giving your feet room to move the way they're supposed to. Here’s why this is an encouraging first step.

Why September Feels Like a Natural Reset

There's something about this time of year that makes starting over feel easier. A hectic summer schedule finally starts to wind down, cooler mornings and evenings make getting outside more inviting, and everyone else seems to be resetting something, too: a schedule, a goal, a habit. 

The Right Shoe Makes the Comeback Easier

If your feet feel cramped or blisters start forming ten minutes in, that's one more reason to skip today’s run. This is why the right foundation starts from the ground up. Searching for running shoes with the right amount of drop can help.

If you're after a more natural, grounded feel, zero drop wide toe running shoes keep your foot level from heel to toe. If you'd rather ease in with plenty of cushioning underfoot, that's a perfectly good way to start, too. Either way, comfort is what keeps you coming back.

One Pair for However You're Moving Right Now

You don't need a closet full of specialized gear to get going again. A lightweight sneaker with a wide toe box fit works just as well for a walk around the block as it does for an easy jog or a full day of errands. Starting small with one versatile pair of shoes beats waiting until you've built out an entire plan before you even begin.

4 Hiking Hazards In Early Spring and How to Overcome Them

It’s time to dust off your hiking shoes (or test out a new pair) and hit the trails again. Spring is a great time of year to enjoy the outdoors because you never know where a beautiful, sunny day will take you. While some trail conditions are quite predictable, others may keep you on your toes. So, it’s best to be prepared with the right gear, including your trail shoes. Here are a few common challenges hikers face during the spring and what to keep in mind as you navigate new terrain. Muddy Conditions + Lug Spacing on the Outsole Tacky trails are fun, but when they become muddy, it can present some challenges. But mud goes with the territory in the springtime, and you need a trail shoe that gives you total confidence. One recommendation is zero drop hiking shoes with generously spaced lugs on the outsole. Proper spacing will release mud from the bottom of the shoe like a hero. A zero drop platform is an excellent choice because it keeps the forefoot and heel at the same height...

When you put in the miles in performance shoes ahead of a big race, you feel unstoppable! Here are some tips for choosing the best running shoes to get you to the finish line. Comfort Above All Else It’s easy to get swept up in the hype of what everyone else is wearing or simply choosing a shoe because you love the color or style. But the main priority should be comfort. If your shoes are uncomfortable when you try them on, it’s probably not going to get better after running a few miles in them. Low drop daily trainers are an excellent place to start. At the end of the day, fit and feel matter more than anything if your shoes allow you to perform your best. Replace and Rotate Between Pairs While it’s not “required,” if you tend to log a lot of miles, rotating between two pairs can ...
