Tips for ensuring the proper fit:

• Visit a specialty running shoe store like If The Shoe Fits.
• Wear the same socks you intend to wear for participation in your sport. Sock thickness affects the fit of the shoe. Make sure you bring your socks or buy a new pair for a proper fit. In addition, if you wear orthotics, bring those along for fitting, as well.
• Be fit for the shoe late in the day. Your foot expands later in the day after bearing weight.
• Check your size each time you buy new shoes. You may end up surprised to discover that your feet  may become longer as you get older. Suddenly one day, you’ll need a size 9 1/2 rather than an 8 1/2.
• Go to a store that will actually let you run to see how the shoe feels when you are moving.
• Buy a shoe that feels comfortable, it won’t feel better in a week if it doesn’t feel good when you buy it.
