Sport-specific shoes affect the way you play. Come into our Healthy Steps store to have your feet professionally measured and shoes fitted. If you play a sport more than twice per week it is best to wear a sports specific shoe. Check out these pointers to find the perfect shoes for baseball and softball. Common foot injuries include sprains, stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis.

The appropriate footwear for baseball and softball should:

  • Offer support to prevent arch pain, which frequently affects catchers. Customized shoe inserts called orthotics may help alleviate the pain.
  • Do not include metal baseball spikes for athletes younger than 13.
  • Try multi-cleats for children ages 11–15 to avoid heel pain.
