The start of a new year inevitably
motivates many people to start or
restart their fitness journeys. Along
with the expected sore muscles that
accompany a new workout program,
if you’re experiencing foot, ankle, hip
or joint pain, the problem may not be
with your workout. It might be your
shoes. Choosing the right shoes for
your type of workout is just as essential
as any other equipment. There are
a variety to choose from, and one
pair of shoes that is perfect for one
workout may not be ideal or could
even be harmful for another. Below
is a look at different workouts and
what to look for in the perfect shoe
for each.
As a general rule, when shopping
for shoes, there should be a little wiggle
room in the toe area. Your heels
should feel secure in the shoes, not
able to move around or slip out. The
sole should be nonskid, giving you
traction to be able to change directions
easily. Your feet swell throughout
the day, so shop for shoes toward
end of the day when your feet are at
their largest. Try on several different
pairs of shoes, and walk, jog or jump
around in the store to get a feel for
how they will perform. Just because
a pair of shoes is expensive or a designer
brand doesn’t mean they will
be right for your feet.
Running is one of the most common
exercises. It provides a great cardiovascular
workout and is something
almost anyone can do, from beginner
walkers to experienced marathoners.
Running shoes are made
for high-impact, forward movement.
Look for shoes with comfortable arch
support and a lot of cushion, which
will absorb the impact of your foot
repeatedly striking the ground and
protect your joints to prevent injuries.
All shoes will break down over time
and become less effective. If you are
experiencing foot pain or shin splints,
it’s probably time to replace your running
shoes.
For studio fitness classes like Zumba
or aerobics, look for shoes that have
a flexible sole; are nonskid and shock
absorbent; and offer lateral support
for a lot of quick, sideways movements.
While many people will use a
running shoe for these indoor classes,
the extra cushion on a running shoe
can be very unstable for lateral movements
and lead to injury. Training
shoes are often a good fit for these
types of workouts.
Strength training and weightlifting
don’t require as much movement as
other activities, but your shoes need
to provide stability, especially when
lifting heavy weights. The cushion of
a running shoe will make you unstable
if trying to do heavy squats or dead
lifts. Lifting shoes should have little to
no compression, a firm heel support,
and a higher heel-to-toe drop than
training or running shoes. Many lifting
shoes also have a mid-foot strap
to secure your foot into place inside
the shoe. When lifting heavy weights,
it’s important that your foot not slip
around in your shoe, so look for a
snug fit.
Cross-training or workouts that incorporate
a variety of movements,
such as CrossFit or HIIT classes that
often combine weightlifting with highintensity
functional movements, require
shoes that can go from lifting to
box jumps while maintaining the right
support. Cross-training or training
shoes are hybrid shoes that are made
for a variety of movements. They often
have some cushioning, but not so
much as to deter from weightlifting
while providing stability and support
for lateral and functional movements.
These are the best all-around shoes
HOW TO ...
www.SouthwestOrlandoBulletin.com x January 19 — February 1, 2023 x 5
Choose the Correct
Shoes for Your Workout
Start the Year on the Right Foot
by Lauren Salinero
Wearing the right shoes for your workout
is just as important as using the correct
equipment.
for different activities, but not specialized
enough to be perfect for any one
movement. If you are only doing running
or lifting, it’s better to choose a
pair of shoes that is made specifically
for that movement. However, if you’re
incorporating a variety of movements
in your workout, a training shoe may
be the best fit for you.
Sports played on a court, such as
basketball, tennis, pickleball and volleyball,
require shoes that provide a
lot of traction for quick lateral movements.
Basketball shoes, in particular,
come in a variety of styles that
you should choose depending on the
amount of stability you require. Hightop
shoes wrap around the ankle, offering
the most support. They tend to
be heavier than mid-tops or low-tops,
but are more likely to prevent sprains
or other injuries. Mid-tops come up to
the ankle, giving some support but not
as much as high-tops. These are good
all-around basketball shoes. Low-tops
sit below the ankle, giving little to no
ankle support. These are for players
who value speed over support.
Many sports require specialty shoes
that are designed specifically for that
activity. Cycling shoes are either flatpedal
shoes or clip-in shoes that connect
directly to the pedal of your bike.
Baseball and soccer shoes have studs
or cleats on the bottom of the shoes
to grip the ground while performing
dynamic maneuvers.
No matter which exercise you are
performing, the most important element
to finding the right shoe is fit
and comfort. If the shoe isn’t comfortable
when you try it on, it isn’t going
to get any better. Everyone’s feet are
different, including how each person
walks and carries themselves. If possible,
visit a specialized shoe store to
determine the exact type of support
needed for your feet. ª

Skin disorders vary greatly in
symptoms and severity. They can be
painful or painless, permanent or
temporary, minor or life-threatening.
Most skin disorders, including acne,
hives, blisters, rosacea and cold
sores, are not serious in nature. They
can be treated with over-the-counter
remedies. But, when treatments are
not achieving the desired outcome,
it’s time to make an appointment with
a dermatology specialist provider,
whose practice makes patient care
the top priority.
For more than 30 years, Dean
Goodless, M.D., of Goodless
Dermatology has managed thousands
of cases of acne, psoriasis,
eczema, skin cancer and other common
skin conditions, as well as less
common ones.
“For things like suspicious moles
or skin lesions, it’s best to come in
as soon as possible,” Dr. Goodless
said, “as these things really have
no appropriate home remedies or
treatments.”
Dr. Goodless is a fellow of the
American Academy of Dermatology
and has practiced dermatology in the
Greater Orlando area since 1997.

and Mildride Monize, MSN, APRN, DCNP, FNP-C, of Goodless Dermatology are
ready to address any skin care need.
Compromise is not an option.
We believe that price should never be a
barrier to pursuing your goals. That’s why
there’s no cost to work with a Schwab

8690 Point Cypress Drive offers general,
surgical and cosmetic dermatology
services to patients of any age
— from newborns to seniors.
Dr. Goodless graduated from the
University of Miami Leonard M.
Miller School of Medicine. He completed
an internal medicine internship
at the University of Florida and
a second year of internal medicine
residency at Mount Sinai Medical
Center in Miami Beach. He subsequently
attended the University of
Miami, where he undertook a threeyear
dermatology residency training
program, serving as chief resident.
The three-year dermatology residency
after medical school at the
University of Miami accomplishes
many things.
“It fills your internal database with
a huge catalog of skin conditions,
many of which you see several times
a day and some you may only see
once in your lifetime,” Dr. Goodless
said. “But, you still need to recognize
them when they show up in your
clinic.
“When I started medical school, I
planned to go into family medicine,
but I was so fascinated with dermatology,
I decided to change specialties.
Even after 30 years, I still
encounter conditions I have never
actually seen but only learned about
in residency or in textbooks. With
dermatology, we get to do a little bit
of everything, treating patients from
newborn to nursing home without
any age restrictions.”
Pediatric dermatology is a key
area of specialization at Goodless
Dermatology.
“The challenge of children is that
they assume everything is terribly
painful, and their ability to cooperate
is negligible,” Dr. Goodless said.
“That being said, with gentle staff
and a lot of reassurance, we are
able to take good care of children
even when they require biopsies or
excisions. It is very important to be
able to take care of little humans
without unduly traumatizing them or
instilling any sort of long-term fear of
doctors.”
Dr. Goodless recalled a young
patient from whom he painlessly excised
an arm lesion. Afterward, the
patient exclaimed to his mother that
he wanted to see Dr. Goodless for
everything, even sore throats.
“There’s no happier feeling,” Dr.
Goodless said.
As a board-certified Mohs surgeon,
Dr. Goodless not only detects
and diagnoses skin cancers, he
can treat them with Mohs surgery
to ensure skin cancer is adequately
excised.
Dr. Goodless is a multitalented
physician. He is one of the founding
members of Dermasensa, a cosmeceutical
skin care brand created
and run by doctors. He has written a
book about acne and another about
psoriasis. Dr. Goodless also serves
as an investigator on many Food and
Drug Administration clinical trials.
Goodless Dermatology also offers
comprehensive treatment of atopic
dermatitis, melanoma, plantar warts,
psoriasis, rosacea, acne, alopecia
areata and contact dermatitis. In
addition, professional cosmetic skin
care plans include procedures like
customized facials, chemical peels,
microdermabrasion, mircroneedling
and injectable treatments.

Southwest Orlando Bulletin

2 x January 2023 x Southwest Orlando Home & Real Estate
Over the past year, architectural
design saw a surge in nature-inspired
earth tones such as calming shades
of blue and green. Homeowners can
expect this trend to continue into the
coming months but with warmer,
richer colors.
This ongoing interest in warm neutrals
with earthy undertones and
pink and blush shades is likely to
be increasingly popular in 2023 as
homeowners become more adventurous
with their color choices as a
form of creative expression.
Trending Colors
Selecting the right colors for your
home project is often influenced
by both your personal preferences
and the latest design trends. Some
contemporary options to consider
include:
• Earth tones. Warmer, naturallooking
earth tones are versatile,
working seamlessly with just about
any design or architectural style of
home. Some trending hues include
muted terra cotta, green, yellow and
plum.
Trending Colors and
Textures Inspire 2023 Home Design
Nature-inspired tones and materials are trending for 2023.
• Warm neutrals. Although they’re
not typically used as statement colors,
warm neutrals bring a sense of
comfort while also offering an inviting,
blank canvas to let individuality
flow freely. On-trend options include

shades of dark brown, caramel, tan
or off-white.
• Rich, dark colors. These deep,
saturated hues can make a house
stand out and look more modern
while still offering a nod to warmer
hues. Chocolate brown, brick red or
dark jade are popular choices for
those who prefer rich hues.
• Pink and blush shades. Various
shades of pink, rose and blush will
be increasingly popular choices
for homeowners exuding a greater
sense of self-expression. In home design,
look for these colors to appear
in coral, pink, red-orange, raspberry
or blush tones.
• Sweet pastels. There are signs
that homeowners are ready to bring
colors back into their homes. Expect
to see sweet pastel shades like soft
pink, mint green and light purple in
furniture, decor and accessories.
Materials With Texture
With warm neutrals and earth
tones dominating the color palette,
both interior and exterior design will
depend heavily on texture to add
definition. More design choices will
move away from faux finishes and
instead focus on natural and authentic
looks, many of which can be
achieved through brick and stone.
Brick and stone give designers
options for adding depth and
dimension, integrating a play on
light and shadows with a variety of
textural elements.
Brick carries a sense of tradition,
character and timelessness while
also serving as a popular choice
for homeowners due to its design
flexibility. Qualities such as lowmaintenance,
resilience, durability,
sustainability and beauty make brick
an option that allows homeowners to
balance function with appearance.
Homeowners can find more than
600 brick and stone products with
Glen-Gery’s extensive product line
that offers endless design possibilities
and timeless beauty. From handmade
to glazed bricks and everything in
between, these building products
come in a diverse array of colors,
textures and sizes, making it easy to
personalize living spaces with the latest
design and color trends.
Try a virtual design tool like Picture
Perfect, which can help you visualize
projects, or find other style inspiration
at glengery.com.
Bring Color With Brick
Brick is often selected for its functional
benefits, but it’s also an appealing
building product due to its
versatile color, texture and size combinations.
Color can evoke a certain
mood and assist in achieving a desired
outcome. Often, architects and
designers even incorporate multiple
colors or create custom looks by using
multiple brick colors and styles.
To help homeowners hone in on
the perfect look to match their vision
for contemporary design and align
with anticipated 2023 color trends,
Glen-Gery will introduce its inaugural
Brick Color of the Year, a program
that showcases trending hues
that lend well to trending aesthetics.
Reflecting contemporary earthy,
nature-inspired color trends, the Pitt
Cafe Series consists of four soft, neutral-toned,
versatile bricks, ranging
from creamy white to earth tone and
brown-gray with highly pronounced
textural features. What’s more, the
series can be used for both interior
and exterior applications for modern
or contemporary designs.

Think your space is ready for a
new look in the new year, but don’t
know where to start? A Delta Faucet
product designer shared the timeless
kitchen and bathroom trends
she’s seeing in real customers’
homes for a fresh look in 2023
that will last for years to come.
“There are so many beautiful
products on the market; homeowners
should seek products
that not only are beautiful, but
also impactful,” said Maris
Park Borris, Delta Faucet
industrial designer. “Design
should evoke emotion.
Homeowners want to create
new experiences in their spaces
and are encouraged to do
so now more than ever.”
The top five home design
trends for 2023 are leaning
into the innovative, personal,
unique and lasting. The country
is no longer stuck at home,
but we still see home as an extension
of ourselves that represents
who we are as people.
To create your own new experiences
in the home, here are
five trend predictions for 2023
to start incorporating in your own
space.
• Embrace natural tones and materials.
Natural and organic materials
bring an airiness to a room while
also being timeless and long-lasting.
Rather than bold, bright colors, natural
warm tones will be popping up
more and more in the kitchen and
bathroom.
“Natural materials are acting as
showcase materials — from concrete
to stones, woods, porcelain, tile and

crystal,” Park Borris said. “We are
finding a lot of these natural materials
are timeless in influencing mood
and design.”
• Create beautiful, gallery-like
spaces. You love your things, so why
not display them? The new year is
ringing in luxe, gallery-like spaces.
Think of a standalone tub as a statement
piece or open shelving in a
kitchen as a way to display your favorite
items that normally would be
hidden away.
Southwest Orlando Home & Real Estate x January 2023 x 3
“And allow luxury to go beyond
aesthetics and create comfort for all
your senses,” Park Borris said. “In
2023, free yourself to make rooms
experiential, not just functional.”
• Make a statement (wall). A
statement wall can completely shift
the design of a room quite easily.
A floral wall in the bathroom or a
tropical print behind the sink can
bring life and personality to the
space.
“Anything with patterns, either
vintage-looking or modern, can
shift design intent and complete a
room,” Park Borris said. “I see a lot
of mural wallpapers, too — they
can be quite transformative and
can really seal a design.”
• Make your space work harder.
You may not be in a position to upgrade
to a larger space, but 2023
trends bring more options to utilize
what you have. Don’t see a kitchen
as just a kitchen; maybe adding
a small desk in an unused corner
makes it a work-from-home kitchen.
“A lot of people are not looking
for more space, per se, but looking
for better-organized spaces that
work harder with split functionality,”
Park Borris said. “We’ve expected
so much of our homes recently, and
that thought is not going away.”
• Be authentic and break the
rules. It’s your space — it should be
a reflection of you. Throw design
rules out the window and create a
truly authentic space you love.
“I believe people will continue to
make their spaces their own,” Park
Borris said. “There aren’t as many
rules of design as there used to
be. I believe the things that evoke
personal emotion will always be in
style, and our spaces will evolve as
our styles do.”
The new year is bringing in many
trends in home design. Whether it’s
natural materials or a pop of pattern
with a statement wall, authenticity
will be key.

Do you want a new look for your
home? Perhaps you crave an update
but you want to avoid the time
and cost commitment of a complete
renovation? You may be surprised
how a few well-chosen elements can
breathe new life into your home.
Interior designers know that strategic
updates can revitalize a space
without extensive construction. The
key is to choose features with designs
that speak to you. These items
must have provenance and presence
to create an atmosphere the
moment you enter the room.
Curated Design
The preferred design aesthetic of a
room is highly personal, but all good
design follows certain principles.
Take cues from experienced designers
who know that by selecting a few
well-chosen products, you can create
ambience that impacts an entire
space. The design of the elements
should be memorable and draw the
eye without being overwhelming.
For example, the Occasion
Lighting Collection from Kohler is a

Breathe New Life Into Your Home
simple yet elegant way to transform
any space. This collection of impeccable
craft combines sculptural metal
frames with light-capturing
ribbed glass shades that draw
inspiration from the transformative
designs of the early
1960s. This is a period of time
when interiors were an intercontinental
mix of bold color,
tapestries, Japanese screens
and other treasures to showcase
the owner’s travels and
interests.
This unique collection is
engineered with the same
precision as that of fine jewelry
making. The interplay
between the faceted frames
and the sparkling, multidimensional
display of light as it
cascades through the crystalribbed
shades results in forms
that are bold yet sensual with
an undeniable presence.
Strategic Updates
Lighting is an accessible, highimpact
way to transform a room
A new lighting design can elevate a space without needing a full renovation.
and stay on budget. Whether it’s
an eye-catching chandelier, pretty
pendants, perfectly placed sconces
or functional and fashionable flushmount
lighting elements, there’s
something for every space.
Beyond lighting, there are other
strategies that can help you achieve
an updated effect without taking on
a renovation. Some other methods
designers use to transform a room
include thoughtfully selecting pieces
such as a beautiful area rug, stunning
wall art, graceful mirror or tabletop
objet d’art.
You can add sophistication, create
visual tension and add dramatic impact
through color or sculpted forms.
Keep in mind, the provenance of the
pieces selected can be anything from
where each was found or made, the
artist behind the design, the materials
the piece is made from, or the craft
employed to create the piece.
Above all else, it’s important to
be selective. An artful form that has
meaning or a story behind it elevates
and redefines a space, allowing you
to achieve a lot of impact without
spending a lot of money. Whether
curating the family heirlooms of tomorrow
or simply giving your home
a refresh by purchasing a pivotal
piece, products that make a statement
can take your interior to a
whole new level in design.
