HRUSKA CLINIC RECOMMENDED SHOE LIST

The correct shoe can make or break your program. Every time you stand up, your whole body is influenced by your feet. The proper shoe can provide more control of the heel bone and arch, sensory guidance for proper gait mechanics, and/or cushion to sense the foot’s impact on your body.
