How to choose the best running shoe.
When I first started running, I had no idea I needed to buy running shoes.
I used to run in a pair of basketball shoes and assumed it was ok because basketball involves running, right? Absolutely wrong.
If you’re going to take running seriously, you need proper running shoes. Choosing the best running shoe is not a complicated process – it’s actually quite simple.
You will save yourself a lot of time by seeking professional assistance from your local running store. There you can get advice from knowledgable sales associates who understand the various types of feet, latest technology, materials, cushioning, natural motion, stability, and more.
It’s important to remember that everyone’s shoe preference is different. Take my advice when I tell you, do not play the guessing game or listen to popular opinion. Go to a store, talk to a professional, and find the right shoe for you. I promise it will save you a lot of time, money, and frustration.
Please don’t read this and think you have to go out and find “the one.” It’s perfectly okay to experiment with different brands and styles. However, you will have a much better idea of which running shoes to add to your rotation once you gain a solid understanding of the shoes that work best for you.
