How do I pick out the right shoes?

asked 8 months ago | Report

So I just started working out again and I have never really had a good pair of shoes. How do I know which shoes to buy? I do a lot of walking on the treadmill and I want to start doing pilates and yoga. Any help would be great!

Thanks
Maya

  If you have a specialty running (even if you aren't a runner) store in your area I would go there. They should be able to steer you to the right shoes for the right activities. The right shoes can make a huge difference in your success with keeping up your workouts! good luck!

  I go to a run specific shoe store like Runners Roost and try on several brands and styles and they watch how I track.

  Hello
  Go to a specialist shop for sound advice and measurement,
  Don't worry about how many shoes are tried on or the mountain of shoe boxes that you might be behind,
  Try them in the street/mall outside the store - keys or cards as security,
  Ask the sales advisor to assess your gait,
  Check returns policy of the store
  Once bought wear the shoes indoors as slippers before heading out for a run,
  Good luck
