When should you replace your tennis, pickleball, workout or running shoes?
(if you run or workout often)

The rule of thumb is every 6 months or when you start to see wear and tear within or on the outside of the shoe.

Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older people, according to the CDC. Each year, three million older people are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries. More than 800,000 patients a year require hospitalizations due to a fall injury.

"Preventing falls among older Americans is a top health priority, and improved balance can help reduce the risk of a fall," said Matthew Garoufalis, DPM, a podiatrist and past president of APMA. "Proper footwear can help improve balance, especially in older people who may struggle with mobility and balance issues."

When selecting a shoe to improve balance, keep these guidelines in mind:

Put shoes to the 1-2-3 test.
Step 1: Press on both sides of the heel area to ensure the heel is stiff and won't collapse.
Step 2: Bend the shoe to check for toe flexibility. The shoe shouldn't bend too much in the toe box area, but it shouldn't be too stiff and inflexible either.
Step 3: Try twisting the shoe; it shouldn't twist in the middle.
