Before deciding to buy sports shoes, consider the following:

  • Visit a special shoe store that sells sports shoes. These stores usually have staff already trained on shoes that fit your sports needs.
 
  • Buy shoes at the maximum foot size, ie late in the evening or shortly after you exercise. 
 
  • Do not believe the assumption of shoes will be more comfortable after use. Shoes should be comfortable from the first use. Use shoes to move before buying. 
 
  • Bring socks from the house you normally use. If you are used to wear other equipment, wear also with shoes. 
 
  • Avoid shoes that fit too. Between shoes and fingers there should be a space of about 1 cm. 
 
  • The heel with the shoes firmly attached. Do not choose shoes that feel loose in the heel. 
 
  • There are types of shoes that can be used for multiple activities at once, but if you do one type of exercise more than three times each week, consider buying special shoes.



Please note that sports shoes have a lifetime. After 300 hours of aerobic exercise or about 480-800 kilometers to run, usually the inside of the shoe is already decreasing quality.

So do not be too affectionate with shoes. If you regularly exercise, then note also the endurance of your shoes. Brands and prices do not become a benchmark, but the suitability of the feet and activity is paramount.
