shoe fits...<br />
We speak to Karl Edwards, of<br />
Crosby & Lawrence, to find<br />
out what he recommends<br />
when it comes to purchasing<br />
sportswear...<br />
A common error is wearing the wrong trainer or wrong size. For<br />
running, we have both neutral & corrective trainers. Corrective<br />
trainers aid those who over-pronate (excessive rolling inward of<br />
ankles) & help correct the gait. This is common in people with<br />
low arches or flat feet. Wearing corrective trainers when they<br />
are not needed can actually lead to further issues or even injury.<br />
Feet can be looked at & appropriate advice given in store & this<br />
is one of the reasons we do not sell online. And of course, all<br />
trainers vary in size according to brand & style.<br />

Trainers are now tailored to each individual sport with<br />
appropriate technicalities built in to them. We see various<br />
damage on trainers or even injury from wearing inappropriate<br />
footwear, wearing a running trainer to play tennis for instance.<br />
Some simple fundamental differences in the shoes are based on<br />
body movement within the sport. Running trainers are designed<br />
to go heel to toe, where as a tennis shoe is designed to move<br />
side to side, forwards, backwards & has drag protection. This<br />
does not mean there can’t be any cross over but, we always aim<br />
to provide the most appropriate trainer based on an individual’s<br />
needs.<br />
How has sporting emphasis changed?<br />
Team sports have grown in popularity & we are lucky to have<br />
such a diverse range of clubs for all ages & abilities in this area.<br />
Any sport you can think of, there is a local club from Hockey,<br />
Football, Rugby & tennis to the lesser known sports, Tri-athlon,<br />
Fives’ & Boules for example. Even individual sports have clubs<br />
promoting health, socialisation, motivation & fun!<br />
Do you have a favourite sport yourself?<br />
I have played football all my life & enjoy watching it. I also<br />
enjoy playing a variety of sports especially cricket (KVCC). We<br />
have been spoilt this past year or so with the entertainment &<br />
successes of both Mens & Ladies national teams in the CWC,<br />
World cup, RWC & so on.<br />
Who are your sporting idols?<br />
Other than Paula Radcliffe, for me, it would be Matt LeTissier.<br />
His on the pitch performance was simply magical but, he never<br />
left Southampton & the people he adored. He was offered eye<br />
watering contracts to play for “bigger” clubs but, stayed loyal<br />
to his first club. This was & is a very rare quality to have. He<br />
was motivated through the enjoyment of sport, the fans & not<br />
financial reward.<br />
