Before buying the Shoes Before you go out to the shop or search up online, make sure you do most of the following things so that you get the right pair of training shoes: Get your feet measured: Go to a proper shoe shop for this.
Get your feet measured at multiple times of the day. This is because your feet tend to expand around midday to afternoon. A size that allows room for expansion is a better choice than one that is too small.
Try on both shoes: It happens that one of your feet is bigger than the other one. This is quite common. If you know which one is the larger foot, wear the shoes on that for size. As a safety precaution wear both the shoes to make sure the size is right. Measure against the insole: When you choose shoes, take out the insoles from them. Place this against the sole of your foot and measure it out.
Insoles spread out throughout the shoe. If your feet are bigger than the insoles, then it is highly likely that the shoe will not fit your either. Run or move around in the shoes: This is great for physical shoe shops.
Wear the shoes and move around in them to make sure there is enough room for your feet. Shoe sizing can vary between brands and styles, so you may well need to go a shoe size up at times.
