Did you know?!! 👣

On average, an active person walks approximately 7,500 steps a day. If you maintain that daily average until the age of 80, you'll have walked about 216,262,500 steps in your lifetime, equating to more than 110,000 miles. That's equivalent to circling the globe 🌎 over four times on the power of your feet alone!

Experience discomfort walking due to a pinched nerve or neuroma? Thick, shock-absorbent soles in your shoes could offer relief. Ignoring neuromas can exacerbate the issue. Recognize the symptoms: https://www.apma.org/neuromas
