Question
I'm an advance stepper, loving all tricky moves and turns. However, as my stepping skill gets better, my luck for finding suitable shoes has not. I've had okay shoes from New Balance, absolutely hates Nike, and is current testing Avia. Are there simple guide lines that can help me pick out and narrow down shoes before I get them into a gym for the test run?
Hi there!!
I really can relate, because I've experienced constant foot and ankle issues. I like these pages, they may help you.

It's geared towards runners, but the tips are very good. I've followed Dr. Pribut for years, his advice is very sound.

TAKE CARE!!!
