Get the Right Sneakers for Your Workout Infographic
Look For That Shoe:
- Provides support and cushioning for your activity and foot type (especially arch height)
- Is just flexible enough to bend near the ball of your foot
- Offers stable heel support (the heel cup doesn’t easily collapse inward)
- Has a thick enough heel to absorb shock
Size It Up:
- Get fitted at the end of the day, when your foot tends to be the biggest
- Have your foot measured at an athletic store each time you buy shoes
- Wear your usual athletic socks when trying on shoes
- Allow a finger’s width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe
- Walk or run around the store in the shoes for about 10 minutes
Bonus Round:
- Replace when the tread is worn down or uneven, usually after 350 to 500 miles of running
