Get the Right Fit
A perfect fit should always be the top priority for any physical exercise, especially running. A running shoe that doesn’t fit well can make it an unpleasant experience and sometimes even lead to serious injuries. To accommodate the foot spread, be sure there is little space between the width and the end of your foot.
Know the Shoes Anatomy to Pick the Best
To get things started, go for fabric or mesh upper for breathability and support in appropriate places. Next, pay attention to the padding around the ankle collar, check whether the curve irritates your Achilles tendon. Check out the heel counter of the shoes. It cradles and supports your heel for stable landing when you run and gives freedom of movement. Saddles are also an important part of the shoe. It’s held together with a fastening and the shoe securely on the foot. You could go for a variety of overlays including eyelets, or slip-on style.
The most important feature of the shoe are outsole, toe spring, and heel cushioning. Go for rubber or foam material that provides maximum traction and durability for a stable underfoot. The toe spring allows your foot to roll through the stride and enhances bounce or flexibility. Finally, pay attention to the heel cushioning. It’s designed to curb the shock of the heel strike and provides cushioning for your joints when you land harder.
