Choosing the right shoes for your foot type


Give This Post A Thumbs-Up! |
When choosing high performance shoes there are a few suggestions that I would like to mention prior to purchase. Although style may influence you at first, long-term comfort is the best indicator when choosing the right shoes.
A good pair of shoes should support your running gait and foot type. Sporting goods stores will not ensure you with regards to your proper fitting. Visit a local sports dealer that will measure your foot-strike.

How does your foot roll? which brings up pronation and supination.
Pronation is the inward roll of your feet while supination is the outward roll of your feet. Excessive movements on either will cause strain on muscles and tendons and can pose injury. Finally, don’t forget to always stretch and warm up another component in preventing injury.
