Whether for work or for play, women are on their feet all day, and wearing uncomfortable shoes can send shockwaves of pain throughout your body. That’s why medical doctor, Dr. Lisa Masterson, of the Emmy® Award- winning series, The Doctors, created the Dr. Lisa Therafit Shoe, the newest entry into the expanding trend of comfort shoe technology.

Built into each pair of Therafit is their patented cutting-edge technology; the outsole can be adjusted to allow an increase or decrease in impact resistance. The Therafit Personal Comfort System (PCS) Technology also utilizes three specially designed dual-density Adapters located within the shock-absorbing wedge that can be removed to change the shoe’s impact resistance and cushioning. Tired, aching feet? Remove one, two or all three of the Personal Comfort Adapters to change the resistance. Ready for a different feeling on your feet the next day? Pop them back in and get going!

As you kick your workout routine into high gear this fall, the last thing you need is an injury to slow you down!

So, what is the best shoe gear for the gym? The answer to this question depends on your workout, your fitness level, and your foot type. Below are some basic guidelines for choosing the best shoe gear to help you safely meet your fitness goals.
