Choosing the best-fitting shoes to compliment your
sportswear can be overwhelming. Take time to consider the key functions you require as well as being comfortable to wear.
Follow these fitting facts when purchasing a new pair of sportswear shoes.
1. Purchase sublimated sports shoes from a speciality store. They will advise on the type of shoe needed for your particular sporting activity and provide you with the right fitting.
2. Select sports shoes based on the exercise you plan to perform. It's probably better to consider buying a cross-trainer designed for a wider variety of activities.
3. Check whether you can wiggle all your toes when wearing the shoes. It's beneficial to leave some space for your feet to have some movement within the shoe.
4. Walk or run a few steps in your shoes, to check if they are comfortable.
5. Consider the width as well as the length. If the ball of your foot feels squashed and compressed, ask for a shoe with a wider size. Getting shoes that are a half-size larger may not necessarily be the answer.
6. Trust your own comfort level rather than a shoe’s size or description. Sizes vary between manufacturers. No matter how branded or comfortable an advertisement claims those shoes are, your level of comfort matters more.
7. Wear socks while trying on shoes.
8. Select shoes with a firm grip to your heel to avoid slipping when you walk or run.
9. Its recommended to replace shoes every 3 to 6 months or if you run or walk, then every 350-500 miles, Even if shoes haven’t been worn regularly, replace them after a year due to environmental wear caused by a shoe left outside or in a sunny spot may reduce its performance.
10. Set your budget before you go shopping. A high-quality pair of shoes are reasonably priced and range from $50 to $100.
11. Give yourself time to try on many different types of shoes.
12. When selecting athletic shoes, fashion shouldn’t be a factor. Ask the salesperson if the style or color is available in your size.
