Running is a popular hobby, and there are legions of office workers with sedentary lives who take to the pavements in their running shoes to get fit for free as an alternative to signing up for gym membership. As well as the benefits of fitness, running provides the excitement of aspiration to improve and an element of competitiveness. Entering for fun-runs and races is very much part of the typical runners programme. It provides an excellent incentive to keep going.
The first essential for happy running is comfortable feet, and anyone who intends to take up running needs to take the idea of proper footwear very seriously. Wearing shoes, which fit and support well is an absolute necessity, and making the right choice takes time.
The first thing is to set aside a day for the job of choosing the best shoes from mensshoes.org.uk for you. Everyone’s feet are individual and the various brands of sports shoes will tend to have an ideal foot shape for which they are designed. You need to try them all before deciding which shape fits best on your feet. There should be plenty of support and a snug fit but no rubbing or pinching. Be patient until you find the right one, and be prepared to buy a different size from your normal one if necessary, as different makes have slightly different standard sizes.
Then, be sure to wear your new shoes in gradually before you take them out on a real race. New shoes have been the downfall of many runners.
“There should be plenty of support and a snug fit but no rubbing or pinching.”
I’d have to agree! I’ve tried on different kinds of running shoes and end up getting blisters even after breaking them in.
