Back pains can also frequently be caused by wearing "bad" shoes. When you are being active or you know you simply will be walking a lot, you should wear walking or even running shoes to ensure your feet aren't put under too much stress. Walking shoes should be very comfortable. You should feel like your feet can still "breathe"; meaning that the shoes are not too tight and certainly not too loose. Many students who carry around backpacks all day may experience back pains, and although they should reduce the weight on their shoulders, they should also ensure proper footwear for the times they are carrying around their bag. Walking with EXTRA weight on your back with bad shoes is probably the worst thing you can do to your feet.
Lastly, everyone has a different foot shape. People can have a low, regular or high arch to their foot, so it is also important to get shoes that allow your feet to be in their most natural state possible.
Tips:
- Active adults take approximately >10,000 steps per day.
- Active older adults take approximately 8,000 steps per day.
- Inactive adults take approximately 3,500 to 5,000 steps per day.
- Children should take approximately 11,000 to 13,000 steps per day.

I go jogging often and I was wondering if you can tell me some good shoes to get for jogging. I see some people jogging with flat indoor soccer shoes but I know those are not good for your feet.
Don't buy shoes that just look good for running, go with a shoe that has strong mid-sole support, and that allows your feet to strike from heel to toe evenly as you run. Also, make sure to replace your shoes roughly every 350 miles. Shoes in good condition are essential in protecting your knees, hips, and ankles from injury.
