Did you know there are many types of running shoes?
Buying the most expensive and most trending and hot running shoe might not fits you. So you need to equip some knowledge on how to buy the perfect running shoe that fits you!
Why Is Picking The Right Running Shoe Is Important?
Let’s start with a disclaimer: There is no single running shoe that is perfect for everyone. With a bit of knowledge, however, it is possible to find a shoe that will be perfect for you.
Picking the right running shoe is vital to avoid unnecessary injury. Injury like for example, hip and knee pain, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis and a host of other maladies.
Running Shoes may look like other sneakers, but they contain specialized technology and design features to help you run. In other activities, your body may move from side to side, up and down, with bursts of speed and sudden stops. In running, on the other hand, your foot hits the ground in basically the same way with each step. Unlike sneakers, running shoes are designed to prevent injury from that repetitive motion by offering specific cushioning to aid in shock absorption and design features to help move you forward with greater ease.
In general, a pair of running shoes should last between 400 to 500 miles of running (3 or 4 months for regular runners). Take a look at your shoes and check if the midsoles and outsoles are compressed or worn. If they are, it may be time for a new pair.

Try on shoes at the end of the day. Your feet normally swell a bit during the day's activities and will be at their largest then. This helps you avoid buying shoes that are too small.
