If you’re a runner, walker, yogi, rock climber, or participant in nearly any active pastime, your feet endure a tremendous load, making your choice of footwear critical. While most people spend hours researching the perfect workout shoes, they give far less attention to their recovery shoes—what they wear after the workout session is over.
Neglecting your feet after a workout or run can exacerbate foot alignment problems and muscle soreness, impeding your foot’s ability to recover. Recovery footwear is designed to support your tired feet, allowing them to move in their natural patterns and accelerating the recovery process while helping relieve any aches and pains.
Whether you’re nursing sore arches, rebuilding after a long run, or just relaxing, these recovery shoes, slides, and sandals will keep your feet happy and your performance at its best.
