How to Get Long Distance Running Shoes

Your
shoes really do determine your attitude somehow! Only the right shoes
will give you happy feet and we know what they say about happy feet!

Every
runner has different feet and different ideal shoes, and it can be
hard to choose the long distance running shoe that will be just
perfect for you. But you can do it easily if you correctly consider
all the necessary parameters that make your shoe ideal for your
unique feet.

We
have collected some tips for you to choose the most ideal shoe for
yourself:

1. Visit
   a local professional shoe store: You
   should never choose a local shoe shop to buy your shoes. Always
   prefer a professional store over it. They will first analyze your
   foot type and then recommend a shoe. They check if your foot is flat
   or high arched. In each scenario you will need a different kind of
   shoe altogether to compliment with your running. And not choosing
   the right type might even damage your feet to some extent! If you
   have flat feet, then you should wear shoes with motion control,
   while the high arched feet should be complimented with proper
   cushioning to give the user support while running.

2. Analyze
   your surface: This is a great determinant in choosing the shoe you need. Like when
   you run on a track, your shoe should be flat should be incredibly
   lightweight. There is a great need for grip on a track. Whereas, if
   you will be running on uneven ground you might require good
   traction, support and cushion.

3. Make
   sure you have half a thumb’s space: You will have to make sure that there is atleast half or a full
   thumb’s gap between the tip of your thumb to the tip of your shoe.
   Long distance running makes your feet swell, so you might want to
   have a good amount of space in your show.

4. Try
   a run in your new shoes: As a general rule, you should always consider going for a short run
   in your selected shoes before purchasing them. This gives you an
   idea of what kind of an experience you will have with your new
   shoes. It will let you feel your new shoe, its strengths and its
   shortcomings.

5. Choose
   the best fit:You should always
   choose the shoe that fits your feet like a glove. Your shoe should
   not be hanging too much after your toe or it should not be so big
   that your feet come out while running. It should also not be very
   tight, since tight and uncomfortable shoes can cause shoe bites.

6. Consider
   half a size larger: If you find that your feet generally swell while running, then you
   can even consider buying half a size larger than your normal size so
   that your shoe does not become uncomfortable over the course of the
   run.

We
hope that after knowing all these tricks to buying the perfect shoe,
you will select the most ideal shoe for yourself and remember us
again for any help!
