Foot care is the part of running preparation that almost nobody plans for — yet it ends more seasons than tired legs or busy schedules. From heel-lock lacing and blister prevention to callus management, shoe lifespan, and daily stretching, the Orthopodo podiatry team shares eight practical habits that keep runners on the road. Small disciplines, applied consistently, make the difference between a season that holds together and one that does not.

Your coworker is eyeing a half-marathon in the spring. Your neighbor is out the door before sunrise, logging intervals in the dark. The Zurich Marathon sold out last Sunday¹. London broke its own Guinness World Record in 2025 with 56,640 finishers.¹ New York set a new high in 2024 with over 55,000 participants.³ But here is what the numbers do not show. Most of these people are not running to win.

Zürich rewards the people who slow down. Seven stops through the old town, Seefeld, and the Schanzengraben, curated by Olivia Garcin for moxxis x Nohzee.

A tissue model that could change how drugs are tested. A concrete tower that structural physics demanded. A coral reef rebuilt from the ocean floor up. A custom insole made from how you actually move. Four objects with almost nothing in common — except that none of them would exist without 3D printing.

HC Davos is flying—and the hottest “foot gossip” says the edge is inside the skate. With fully customized 3D-printed moxxis insoles, more of each stride’s power reaches the ice: better forefoot loading, less energy lost to micro-movements, and sharper acceleration, edge work, and direction changes when it matters most.

Egyptian, Greek, or Roman. Your foot shape determines where you feel pain, how you move, and which shoes actually work. Find yours and everything clicks.
