Ensuring the Proper Fit

• Make sure you go to a specialty running shoe store like If the Shoe Fits.
• Wear the same socks you intend to wear for 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. Also, if you wear orthotics, bring those along too for fitting.
• 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 continue to grow as you get older. Suddenly one day, you'll need a size 9 1/2 rather then an 8 1/2.
• Make certain you 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.
