HOW TO PICK RUNNING SHOES

So, when there’s a pair for everyone, how can you know what are the best running shoes for you? Not every pair will suit you as a runner. You need to feel comfortable with your standard running stride and fit properly from toe to heel. When shopping online, you can predict which pair will suit you by thinking about where you run, how you run, and of course, the style you like best. Are you looking for the Nike Swoosh, the PUMA Formstrip, or just anything in orange? Are you into urban sprints or cross-country endurance? Your terrain and distance will dictate how much support you need and which performance technology would best optimize your runs – check the product description and features on the individual product pages to see this info per shoe. The best running shoes for you comes down to these three factors: style, distance and terrain. Get asking yourself the questions, get browsing.

WHEN TO REPLACE RUNNING SHOES

You’ve already got running shoes. Great running shoes. Running shoes you really, really like. Trouble is, you’re starting to feel pains you hadn’t felt before. Pains that in your condition shouldn’t exist. So, you’re probably asking, how long do running shoes last? It’s not a matter of time, it’s a matter of miles. 300-500 miles to be (kind of) exact. 

It’s a pretty big bracket, and even then for you, it could be way out. How long they last for depends on their quality. It depends on how you treat them. It depends on your weight, your terrain and your distances. 

That great pair of running shoes you love so much will probably need replacing if it’s giving you grief, but if you’re after numbers, it’s about 6 months if you run 20 miles a week. Luckily, if now is the time, Foot Locker has you covered.
