How To Choose The Best Running Shoe
By ANNE TAYLOR
If you're just starting out as a runner, or if you only run occasionally, you probably won't need the most expensive or high-tech shoes. However, if you're an experienced runner who runs regularly, you'll want to invest in a good pair of shoes that will provide support and cushioning.
Consider your running style — are you a heel-striker or forefoot-striker? Do you pronate (roll your foot inward) or supinate (roll your foot outward)? Different shoes are designed for different types of runners, so it's important to choose a pair that will work with your specific running style, which helps prevent injury while running.
If you have other issues with your feet, like bunions or toe pain, a shoe with a wide toe box can help you avoid discomfort. Finally, don't forget to think about the fit, as running shoes should be snug but not too tight, and they should have enough room to allow your toes to move comfortably.
