The Best Running Shoes for Your Foot Type
Tuesday May 19, 2009
If you have several pairs of running shoes or other sports shoes, odds are that when you bought them comfort and style were your main selection criteria. However, about 25 percent of runners need some type of specialized shoe for their unique foot type. Feet come in all shapes and sizes, but their structure tends to get grouped into several common categories.
Before you buy another pair of running shoes, you may want to learn about the most common foot shapes and the shoes designed to fit each type.
I’ve never heard about different feet types-it’s very interesting. I want to add another important thing: it’s essential to select shoes by size, so you have to try on both shoes. It may seem obvious, but many people suffer discomfort because they don’t know their exact shoe size. Every man’s feet are different, and the generic sizes don’t necessarily give you the best fit. Like clothing manufacturer’s sizes, men’s shoe sizes can vary dramatically – a size five in one shop or retailer may be very different from a size five from an online shoe stores. Transfer weight from heel to toe, to check whether your fingers are not ends. Particular attention should be paid at the height of the heel. Safer for women’s health is considered to be the heel height of up to five centimeters. The optimum height of the heel in men’s shoes – 1,5 cm.
