Find the right fit for your running shoes

If running is your favorite exercise to stay fit and healthy, then shoes you are wearing to run is more important. Old worn out shoes not only unsafe but also creates too many foot problems.

One of the most important factors of a running shoe is getting the right shoe for the job. Depending on your stride, gait, and your strengths and weaknesses your shoe needs to fit at all levels. Do not settle for the look or the feel of a shoe. Go talk to your shoe salesman and he or she can fit with a shoe right for the job. Many of them carry a wide variety of models at varying prices that suits your feet as well as your budget.

Another important fact about shoes is shelf life of a shoe. Even while sitting on a shoe store shelf, shoes can start to deteriorate. This is why some of the older models go on sale more often. With running, it still goes down but may be at a slower phase. A good shoe can last for 400 to 500 miles of running. Marathoners should look at life of a shoe as in weeks oppose to months for other users.
