Looking to invest
in a good pair of Fitness or Walking Shoes?
Then look no further! There
is however, no one right shoe for everyone. Many people enjoy
strong and stable feet while others pronate (ankles that bend
inward) or supinate (ankles that bend outward). Heavier people and
people with flat feet often pronate so a shoe that offers good
motion control will help. Be sure and visit a reputable footwear
fitting specialist or a specialty athletic or running store. The
proper fit is the most important issue. Remember these 6 basic
fitting guidelines.
 | First, the overall length
of your foot is checked from the topmost part of the toes to
the hindmost part of the heel. |
 | Next, width. It’s taken
across the ball of the foot, that cushiony little pillow up
front that bears the full force of your weight during each
step. |
 | Another length check. This
time from the ball to the heel. Because every foot like every
body has different proportions. You might think of it as a
check for a "long-waisted" or "short-waisted"
foot. |

 | The top of the shoe’s
heel should just barely kiss the ankle. If it’s too low then
you might experience slippage and possibly cause injury. If it’s
too high, it may cause blistering. |
 | A proper vamp crease must
cross your foot just below the in-step, otherwise the foot
will become chafed and sore. |
 | Finally, we make sure the
heel of the shoe hugs your heel and holds it in place. The
foot shouldn’t wobble and feel lost in space. |
The point of all these points
is that fit is more than just how it feels, or how it looks. Fit
is a system of checks and balances which make sure that your shoes
contribute as much balance and support as possible.
