Ever wondered how to get your perfect fit from the luxury of your own home?
Even the right running shoe won't perform properly if the fit is wrong. Before choosing your next pair, taking a few minutes to measure your feet can help you find a more comfortable and supportive fit.
How do I start?
Start by measuring your feet while standing on a hard, flat surface. Place a piece of paper against a wall, stand with your heel touching the wall, and mark the end of your longest toe. Measure the distance from the edge of the paper to the mark, then repeat the process for your other foot.
Because one foot can be slightly larger than the other, use the larger measurement when choosing your size. It can also be helpful to measure your feet later in the day, as they may expand slightly after walking and regular activity.
When trying on running shoes, make sure there is enough room at the front for your toes to move comfortably while your heel and midfoot still feel secure. The shoe should feel comfortable from the beginning rather than relying on it to stretch significantly over time.
Sizing can also vary between brands and individual models, so your usual shoe size should be treated as a starting point rather than a guarantee.
