Keep These Tips in Mind when Choosing Your New Kicks: 1. Have a Break-In Period. If you’re trying on shoes that feel heavy, stiff, clunky, or not “just right,” they likely are the wrong shoes for you. The right pair will feel comfortable as soon as you put them on: lightweight, cushioned, and balanced. 2. Keep Your Feet Level. If you feel your arches “tipping in” or “pushed out”, then the support is wrong for you. Too much support will restrict your foot and give the feeling you’re tipped out. Too little support may feel like your foot is caving in and give the tipped-in feeling. The proper pair will feel balanced and level. 3. Wear Shoes True to Size. Running shoes should have ample toe room, but secure from the ball of the foot to the heel. Your feet will splay out over time and it’s not uncommon to go up in size. Running shoes won’t break in, so they need to feel like they fit the second you put them on. ARE YOU WEARING THE RIGHT RUNNING SHOES?
