Now that the heat is leaving and cool and crisp air is approaching, fall might be a great time to change up or begin an exercise routine. Outdoor walks, runs, hikes, or hitting the gym all require athletic shoes, and finding the right shoe can be difficult. There are so many types, brands, arch support, etc. Finding the right athletic shoe can prevent injuries and can enhance performance.
Here are some tips for finding the right athletic shoe:
First, wear the same type of sock you would normally wear while you’re exercising.
Next, try on shoes after a workout or at the end of the day; this is when your feet are the largest and prevents you from purchasing too narrow of a shoe.
Lastly, check the fit- you should be able to wiggle your toes and walk around comfortably without the shoe slipping. Remember, some athletic shoes are sport specific. Double-check the shoe you are looking at to see if it was made for a particular sport.
Having comfortable exercise shoes will lead to an even greater workout. For more tips on purchasing athletic shoes, click here.
