Good fitting shoes will make a big difference to your running or walking efforts. It’s important that you get the right shoe that is right for you.
1. SPEND TIME to find the right shoe for you. 2. PICK THE SHOE THAT FITS YOUR FOOT and not the one that your friend wears. 3. TAKE YOUR OLD SHOE WITH YOU so the person helping you select your new pair of shoes can see your wear pattern. 4. GET A FOOT ASSESSMENT so the person helping you can see how your foot moves. 5. MAKE SURE THE SHOE FITS THE SHAPE OF YOUR FOOT. 6. GET A SNUG FIT and that your foot isn’t moving around our that your heel is lifting as you run or walk. 7. CONSIDER THE SHOE LAST when selecting your new shoe. Different shoes have different shape and the last is an important factor.
Your running shoes will last somewhere around 500 to 600 KM. So it depends how much you run and how far. You will also notice that the cushioning will start to break down around the time when you’ll be needing new shoes.
