Wearing the right pair of shoes while you exercise

Take action:

• Shop at a specialty store and take advantage of the staff’s expertise.

• Try on shoes at the end of the day or after a run, when your feet are largest. Wear the socks you will wear while exercising.

• Shoes should be comfortable from the start, and you should be able to easily move your toes.

• Lace shoes properly when trying them on. Walk or run a few steps in them, making sure that the shoes firmly grip your heels.

• One shoe doesn’t fit all sports - look for a sport-specific shoe if you plan to play a particular sport.
