Running Shoe Buying Tips
- Shop late in the day -- your
feet swell during the day.
- Measure your foot while standing.
- Try on both shoes with the socks
you will wear.
- Buy for your larger foot (feet
are rarely the same exact size).
- Allow a thumbnail's width between
the shoe and your big toe.
- Choose shoes that are comfortable
immediately. If they hurt in the store, don't buy them.
- Look for a moderately priced
shoe. Price is not necessarily an indication of quality. Research
has shown that moderately priced running shoes work just as well
as expensive ones.
- Make sure the shoe matches your
foot type and running style.
- Wear new shoes around the house
before using them on short runs.
- Don't do a long run in new shoes.
Start out with a short run and stop if you have any hot spots,
which are a warning sign that a blister is on the way.
- Consider having an evaluation
by a doctor, physical therapist, or podiatrist to learn your
foot type.
