If you’re in the market for a new pair of athletic shoes, you may have no clue where to go or even what to look for. There are so many places to shop and shoes to choose from, it’s no wonder shoe shopping has become such a chore. Here’s what you need to know before you set off on your shoe shopping expedition.

Athletic shoes usually consist of 3 categories: running shoes, cross training shoes and walking shoes. Each shoe is designed specifically to help athletes avoid injury and discomfort. Remember that good shoes are ones that fit well, and not necessarily the most expensive. Bring an older pair of sneakers with you so that the fitter can determine your wear patterns.

Begin shopping at a specialty store for runners. These shops tend to be staffed by fellow athletes who are more knowledgeable about the various types of shoes and individual considerations in deciding which shoe to purchase. Plan on spending at least 30 minutes at the store to ensure time for a good fitting. Arch, and foot strike are three terms you might hear when you go for a shoe fitting. This is done by looking at an imprint of your bare foot. If you are able to see your complete foot print with no gaps, then you have a flat foot. If your print looks almost severed in half vertically, you have high arches. A normal arch is a print that is between the flat foot and high arch. Then the rest of the foot comes down and rolls slightly inward as it meets the surface. is the down and inward roll of the foot rolling from the outside heel to the inside toe. is not a bad thing because it helps your feet and legs absorb shock, but some people have a tendency to overpronate, which is when the foot rolls too much. People who overpronate need strong stabilizing shoes and underpronators, or those whose feet roll too little, need shoes with greater flexibility to encourage feet to pronate further.

Foot Strike

Most runners tend to be heel strikers who land on the outside of the heel and then roll up to push off the ball of the foot and the toes. Some runners, however, are forefoot striker and land more on the ball of the foot. Often, wear patters on older shoes can tell a lot about a person’s foot strike. Knowing a person’s foot strike can help the fitter determine where more cushioning is needed.
