Picking the best running shoes requires short jog

 

From Consumer Reports magazine, here are some tips for buying running shoes:

• Know your gait. If your feet require some corrective measures, you'll want to pick the shoe that is right for you. Runners whose feet pronate (roll inward) take a different shoe. For feet that pronate, a stabilizing or motion-control shoe might solve the problem. For runners whose feet don't pronate enough, a cushioning shoe might be the best choice.

• Get help from an expert. If you go to a shoe store that specializes in running shoes, you'll probably pay more than if you go to a department store or a generic shoe store. But experts can provide helpful advice.

• Try the shoes out. You never know exactly how the shoes feel unless you try them. Take a test jog around the store, or ask if you can run with them outside. An even better idea is to buy the shoes and go for a run on a treadmill. Ask if you can return them the next day if they don't feel right. You'll know for sure after a brief run.
