How to Get the Best Fitting Athletic Shoes

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Athletic shoes should fit one's feet perfectly more than anything else. Some people consider the design or the outside appearance of a shoe to make their judgment. Nevertheless, that is a good recipe for disaster for one's feet. A lot of marketing hype has been going on to sell stylish shoes. Nevertheless, not all good looking shoes will meet the needs of different customers.

Getting It Fit

There is really no big secret behind getting the best shoes for one's feet. What really matters is getting the right shoes that fit one's feet. The next thing in particular is the amount of support the feet get during strenuous activities. Of course, this is followed by the outward appearance, which should be the last consideration that people should mind.

One of the first things that people can do to get the best fitting athletic shoes is to know their feet better. This just boils down to knowing the type of pronation that one's feet has. This refers to the type of inward roll the feet does during any type of normal motion.

People with perfectly balanced feet will not need that much support on the instep. People with a slight pronation on their feet will require shoes that have moderate instep support, which is pretty much like having built in orthotics. People who are overweight or have flat feet will need rigid support from their shoes. Be sure to discuss feet pronation with the salesperson from the store when looking for a good pair of shoes.

The next thing that people should make sure of is having enough room for the feet to move in. One the most straightforward test for great fitting athletic shoes is to simply wriggle the toes. If the toes can wriggle around comfortably in the shoes then there is enough room for the feet to be comfortable during sports activities.

According to the experts, the toes should have enough room in the shoes' box to be spread out as if one is barefoot. That rule normally goes for training shoes and not high heels for women. It's the total opposite when dealing with high heels. The toes tend to be pinched in heels, which is one reason why they're just not cut out for physical work outs.

Another way to make sure that there is enough room for one's toes is to follow the rule of the thumb. Measure the distance between the toes and the end of the shoes, specifically using the longest toe (either the big toe or the second toe). The appropriate allowance should be equal to the width of one's thumb. Without this allowance, the shoes will be uncomfortable when running, biking, or any other type of sports activity.

Additional Tips

When shopping for athletic shoes, be sure to do the shopping in the afternoon. At the end of the day when all walking and running around to and from work is done, the feet should have expanded well to adapt to the regular daily strain.

Take note that at this point, one foot will eventually fan out bigger than the other. Common sense tells us to use the bigger foot to judge if a shoe fits nicely or not. One last tip is to tell the salesperson what sort of sports you engage in and the terrain your feet usually encounter. It's a good way for them to recommend the best type of matching athletic shoes.
