Choosing The Right Running Shoes

ByDr. Anant Joshi

With spring approaching, most of us are excited to be getting back outside in the warmer, sunnier weather – especially runners. If you like to run, you know how important it is to wear comfortable, well-fitting sneakers. Not only does it help with performance, but it prevents injury and pain. Here are some tips to keep in mind next time you plan on buying a new pair of running sneakers!

  1. Don’t go for anything other than a running shoe. With how many variations of sneakers there are these days, it’s easy to get confused when you’re in a shoe store. Running shoes may look like every other type of sneaker, but they’re made quite differently. They offer special technology to assist you during your run. For example, most running sneakers offer specific cushioning to help with shock absorption and injury prevention.
  2. The most important part of finding the right running shoe is making sure it fits correctly. Ditch the pain of uncomfortable sneakers and instead keep in mind these tips.
  3. Keep in mind that there are different types of running sneakers. Do you run only on occasion? Go for a basic, everyday style. Training for a big race? Choose a lightweight running shoe. Like running on a dirt trail? Pick from a selection of specific trail running shoes.
  4. A higher price may mean higher technology, but it’s not always the case. Running shoes feature more advanced technology than your average sneaker, which is why they have a higher price tag. But you can still find a great pair with a budget in mind!
  5. Running shoes don’t last forever! If you run daily, your sneakers will likely last 3 to 4 months (450 miles) before it’s time to give them up. Make sure you pay attention to the wear and tear and replace them when necessary.
