Move More with Comfort

April is Move More Month, a time dedicated to getting active, improving mobility, and making movement a part of everyday life. Whether you're walking around the block, joining a fitness class, or simply making an effort to stand up more often, every step counts! But to move comfortably and confidently, you need the right support—starting with your shoes.

Why Movement Matters

Regular movement isn’t just about staying fit; it’s about improving overall health. Benefits of increased activity include:

  • Better heart health – Walking just 30 minutes a day can lower your risk of heart disease (American Heart Association, 2023).
  • Improved joint health – Gentle movement helps reduce stiffness and pain (Arthritis Foundation, 2023).
  • Enhanced mood and energy – Staying active releases endorphins that boost your well-being (Mayo Clinic, 2023).
  • Lower risk of chronic conditions – Moving more can help prevent diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity (CDC, 2023).

The Right Shoes Make All the Difference

One of the biggest barriers to movement is foot pain or discomfort. Ill-fitting, unsupportive shoes can discourage even the most motivated individuals from staying active. That’s where Dr. Comfort orthopedic shoes come in.
