On the recommendation of a podiatrist (physician specializing in diseases of the foot and lower leg) Sewell trained in sports shoes and sometimes we jog in heels.
A marathon woman seized six pairs of shoes of different sizes: from 7.5 (corresponds to the Russian size 37) to 9 (38.5 C). In addition, it is stocked with plasters, insoles and compression bandages to the lower leg.
