![]() by Kirk Scofield, M.D. Summit Orthopedics Want to learn Dr. Kirk Scofield’s top tip for switching shoes — without the injury? When a patient of Dr. Scofield is going to change into a shoe that is significantly different, he gives them this formula for success: Run for a minute in the new shoes, walk for a minute, and repeat for about 5 minutes. Then, change back into the old shoes for the rest of the workout. “The next day,” says Dr. Scofield of Summit Orthopedics, “we increase the initial period in the new shoe slightly, so that we are gradually increasing the total amount of time a patient spends in the new shoe.” Learn more about guidelines for transitioning to a new running shoe from our friends at Summit Orthopedics. Kirk Scofield, M.D., specializes in: Sports & Active Medicine, Regenerative Medicine, Ankle & Foot Care, Knee Care, Shoulder Care, Hip Care, Running Program, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and Tendinopathy (Chronic Tendon Pain) with Summit Orthopedics.
