First of all, make sure that you have a real running shoes, but not for other sports. In running shoes thick sole with deep relief, made of foam rubber. She seemed down to the toe, and the toe slightly rounded upwards. Running shoes are low, usually to the ankle, the inner edge lined with a soft cloth to the top of the shoe does not rub his leg. From the upper edge of the shoe heel is usually higher than on the sides. This is done to ensure that when running sneakers densely sat. Choose the lightest weight running shoes.
Now consider the selected instance in more detail. See how shoes are made. In qualitative shoes all seams are smooth, the stitches of the same length, the items are cut neatly, no glue stains. Sniffed the shoes, if you feel a sharp chemical smell, like a shoe repair shop - put this pair away.
Now bend your sneakers. Place the fold can be in only one place: the first and second third of the sole. If you stand on your toes, bend your foot in the same place. Good running shoe can not be bent or middle sole or longitudinally. Please note, if you can easily roll up the sole of the ring, it will not protect your foot when running on uneven surfaces. You'll feel every hole, every stone. Characteristics "in slippers" for running shoes is sharply negative. The sole of shoes in general can not be fine, because it placed at least two cameras depreciation. If there is no depreciation in the sole, it is not necessary to take such shoes. Each step will be given not only to the knees, but also along the entire length of the spine. Cross country running shoes usually made protection for the toe - rubber blotches, turning into the sole.
Pay attention to the way of lacing. In a running shoe laces in the bottom of a conventional vdevayutsya opening only at the top and can be one or two pairs of special hooks. Thanks to the bottom of the lacing holes made very tight, not loose the foot inside the shoe, there is no lateral displacement of the foot. Cross-country models never Velcro. Shoes with a clasp designed for sports, which require rigid fixation of the ankle.
Now look inside. In sneakers must be the instep. It is a soft roller, located on the inner side of the foot. Lift the insole and make sure that it is. Running shoes without arch support - it's not a running shoe. Pay attention to the insole - it should be soft, hygroscopic, fit snugly into the shoes and not budge if you try to move it back and forth. Usually insoles are made of foam rubber and textile upper with fusing. Do not be lazy, stick your hand inside the shoe. Make sure that the inside was no seams, protruding parts, some irregularities. Sneakers inside should be soft and comfortable.
Pay attention to the labels inside the shoe. Must be specified size, manufacturer, country of manufacture. In some models indicate the completeness of the foot. Be sure to specify the materials making up the running shoes: sole, top and lining. Running can be made from a variety of materials, they are often combined with each other. Note that running shoes with inserts of mesh material - highly breathable, but not too durable. They are useful for training on a treadmill, and jogging down the street or buy leather from dense synthetic materials.
Finally, fitting. Buy any shoes in the evening that the foot is slightly swollen at the end of the day. Be sure to bring socks, which are planning to train. Note that thick terry socks added to your size even half the size. Put on both shoes, stand on the socks, roll on your heels and again rising on tiptoe. Try also to ride a foot in the transverse position. Are you comfortable? Nothing prevents? So you have found the best running shoes - your sneakers.
