Why good comfortable shoes are crucial in everyday life
Anyone who spends a lot of time walking or standing knows: comfortable shoes are not a luxury, but a genuine investment in your health. At LUNGE, we have been dedicated to healthy movement for over 40 years – from running and walking to comfortable everyday walking.
Our experience shows: The right comfort shoe makes the difference between tired feet and true lightness of foot.
LUNGE – 40 years of experience for healthy movement
Founded by running experts Ulf and Lars Lunge, we combine biomechanical knowledge with practical experience in our factory, our LUNGE DER LAUFLADEN stores and in the online shop lunge.de.
Our expertise is based on:
- Over 40 years of experience in the running shoe retail trade
- thousands of individual movement analyses
- In-house shoe development in a German factory
- close collaboration with customers of all age groups
Whether running, walking, leisure or everyday shoe – every LUNGE model follows one goal: healthy movement through maximum functionality and comfort.
How can I recognize good, comfortable shoes for everyday use?
1. Damping and rebound
A high-quality comfort shoe features a foam midsole that reduces impact forces and protects the joints. Our specially developed LUNGE foams are exceptionally lightweight yet offer lasting rebound – for energetic walking all day long.
2. Foot-friendly fit
A comfortable shoe should fit snugly around the foot without causing pressure points. Sufficient space is particularly important in the forefoot area, allowing the toes to spread naturally. Many people wear their everyday shoes too small – this can lead to problems in the long run.
3. Stability and guidance
Good heel guidance and stable midfoot support prevent incorrect postures and relieve muscles and tendons.
This way you'll remain pain-free even after being on your feet for hours.
4. Breathable materials
Good comfort shoes regulate temperature and moisture. This keeps the foot climate pleasant, even when worn for extended periods – minimizing blisters.
5. Natural rolling motion
Comfortable shoes should support the natural rolling motion of the foot. This allows you to move more efficiently and tire less – for an all-around harmonious walking experience.
LUNGE tip: More comfort through the right insole
A shoe is rarely "finished" when it comes out of the box. A high-quality insole noticeably improves comfort, stability, and cushioning. Many LUNGE models come standard with the FEETALITY insole – for noticeably more comfort with every step.
Consequences of unsuitable everyday shoes
Incorrect footwear can cause more than just foot pain – it affects the entire musculoskeletal system.
Typical complaints caused by unsuitable shoes:
- Blisters, pressure sores and pinched toes
- Knee, hip or back pain due to incorrect posture
- Restricted rolling motion and muscle tension
- Fatigue and poor posture after prolonged standing
With professional advice and movement analysis at a running specialist shop, you can find the shoe that truly fits your foot.
Motion analysis – also useful in everyday life
Gait analysis is not only important for athletes. Similar forces are at work when walking as when running – an analysis helps to identify and correct imbalances early on.
Advantages of motion analysis:
- Optimization of gait
- Choosing the perfect shoe for your foot type
- Prevention of overuse injuries
- Individual recommendations for insoles
Our LUNGE DER LAUFLADEN branches offer professional movement analyses for walking and standing – brand-independent, individual and well-founded.
Axis-aligned walking – the foundation of healthy movement
Proper leg alignment means that the foot, knee, and hip remain in a straight line while walking. This protects the joints, prevents pain, and ensures a natural, energy-efficient gait.
This is what characterizes a healthy leg axis:
- Knee and foot point in the same direction
- The pelvis remains stable
- The foot rolls evenly
Here too, the right comfortable shoe actively supports you.
LUNGE conclusion
Comfortable shoes for everyday wear are more than just comfortable – they're a form of preventative healthcare. The right shoe relieves strain on your body, promotes natural walking, and ensures you feel light and stable all day long.
