Beginner Running Shoes | 3 Things to Know Before You Buy

When you’re shopping to get shoes for running, don’t only go with shoes that have a great style. Try to go to someone who specializes in sports shoes. Have a professional analyze your gait. They can get shoes for you that fit right and that will prevent common injuries.

Just because your running shoes continue to look good for many, many years, this does not mean that you should continue to wear them. They fail to provide much support after you have gone around 300-500 miles. After that point you should go out and start shopping for another pair.

When you try on a pair of shoes, be sure to wear the hosiery that you plan to wear with them normally. For example, if you want to buy a pair of running shoes, be sure to wear the socks you’ll wear with them to the store itself so you get the right fit.

If you like to run, keep track of the mileage you have put on each pair of shoes. These types of shoes take a great deal of pounding in their short life. You should buy new running shoes after 400 miles since your shoes will no longer provide you with the support you need once they get too old. Get a journal and jot down the miles you’re running so you have an idea of when the shoes should be replaced.

Beware of forcing your shoes or sneakers to multitask. Not every pair of shoes is great for every circumstance. Did you know for instance that there are differences between walking shoes and running shoes? You’ll be better off by identifying your need, and then choosing a shoe that fits it well.

If you are going to buy sneakers to wear all around, you should think about getting a running shoe. There is more technology put into this type of sports shoes than any other. There are all types available out there for people that have all types of feet including those with flat feet and those with high arches.

Get a fitting at your local store that sells running shoes to make sure you are fitted correctly. There are many options when it comes to running shoes, and you want to make sure you get the best.

To keep your running shoes from coming untied, give them a gentle double knot before you start. Tie your normal bow knot, and then loosely add the second knot. That way your shoes stay on stably, but the knot does not slowly make your feet feel confined, and your run is not interrupted by flying shoelaces.
