When it comes to finding the right running shoe for you, there are many things that you need to consider—the first one being the size of the shoe. Finding the right running shoe size can be tricky. Too tight and your feet will be restricted and will have no room to move around and absorb impact. Too loose and you’re at risk of injuries caused by trips and falls. Run Trails offers a guide on how you can get the right shoe size.
Another thing to really pay close attention to is the fit of the shoe. Run Trails recommends that you buy your running shoes at a physical store so you can try on the shoes and get a feel of how it will be like to run on those shoes. One helpful tip to find the right shoe fit is to take the shoe insert out, stand on it, and check if: (1) your foot fits, (2) your heel hangs over, (3) your toes brush the edge, and (4) whether the shoe insert is too narrow or too wide.
