Shoes act as a supportive base for our feet; they not only provide comfort but also stability and support while running. This is why it is important to have the proper footwear for your feet. With so many brands and technologies on the market today, it may be difficult to choose the right shoe, but try to take your time and find the pair that best suits your individual needs.

Here are some tips to think about when looking for the right pair:

• Be sure to choose a shoe with proper stability and motion control.
• Shoes that are too tight or too loose will eventually cause problems.
• Most running shoes have a mileage; once you’ve run past that certain mileage amount, your shoes break down and lose their support. If your shoes are ragged and worn, replace them with a new pair.
• Keep in mind that the type of surface you run on also makes a difference in how fast your running shoes can wear down. For instance, concrete causes more of an impact than grass or sand.
