One of the main reasons that athletes get metatarsalgia is really quite simple. They do not wear the right shoes for the activity that they are participating in. It is important to make sure that you are purchasing and wearing shoes that are proper for the activity that you are participating in.
You want to make sure that your shoes are providing you with good support for your activity. In addition, cushioning is also important. You want to make sure that your shoes will help protect not only your feet but also will protect your legs as you do not want to risk injuring your legs as well.
Running is really hard on the feet and the legs and is one of the main causes of metatarsalgia. Having the appropriate footwear to wear during your runs can go a long way when it comes to preventing metatarsalgia.
