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.
