Selecting a pair of running shoes is very confusing.
To prevent an injury, runners need a stretch, warm-up and cool-down, but many are unaware that obtaining proper running shoes can also prevent injuries. Matching your foot biomechanics with a particular shoe brand and model is the biggest challenge, and making a selection requires examining different variables. If you are a large runner, you need to decide where to purchase sneakers, and what kinds of features are necessary to assist in your running goals.
Instructions
1. Purchase sneakers at specialty running stores that have a large selection of brands. The feet expands later in the day, so go in the late afternoon. The salesperson should ask you about your running history, training regime, and previous injuries. Have your foot examined and measured to determine the type of arch you have.
2. Evaluate how your foot pushes off. Choose cushioned shoes with shock absorption and a soft mid sole. If your foot rolls inward significantly when running, this is known as over pronation. Over pronation runners use the two big toes, and choose sneakers that emphasize motion control with a firm mid sole. These type of sneakers are heavy, durable, and the most expensive. Normal pronation runners use all toes evenly, so if this applies to you, choose sneakers with a mix of shock absorption, motion control, flexibility, durable and a multidensity mid sole.
3. Choose three to four pairs of sneakers. Put on both sides, stand up, and wiggle your toes. Walk around and run in each pair, your heel should stay in place. Choose a pair that cater to a large foot.
