S3|E24 The Right Shoe for the Right Occasion - A masterclass in running shoewear with Podiatrist, Nelfrie Kemp
What is the right shoe for me?
This is the most commonly asked question by runners all around the world and yet the answer to this simple question is far from straight forward. In today's conversation we chat to Nelfrie Kemp, Podiatrist and long time friend of the podcast as we dive deep into the topic of helping runners find the right shoe.
We ask her the hard questions, we chat about different brands, different designs of shoes as well as different shoes for specific workouts ranging from your gym work right through to to your race day.
As much as it is it impossible to provide runners with specific answers as we are all different, we believe that after listening to this episode you will go into your next shoe purchase with far better insight as to what to look for in a shoe and what would make a good fit for your running journey.
Enjoy the shoe and feel free to leave us a comment on our social media platforms @makingarunner. You can follow Nelfrie @nelfriekemp for some great advice or check out her website www.nelfriekemp.co.za
