How to choose a correct running shoe size?
Question:Hi, anyone out there can help me solve this problem. I have tried size US 9 and US 9.5, both sizes lenght feels comfortable. However the only different is only the width, US 9 fit tightly whereas US 9.5 feels roomy. And
I was told by the promoter that the width size will be enlarged after prolong wearing. It is true?
Therefore, I would like to know should a ruinning shoe feel tight or roomy(FYI, I am mild overpronator). Helpful people out there please advise. Thank you
Answers:
Also, if the width concern you, you should check out New Balance shoes, which comes in different widths. Asics also come indifferent widths, but only for some of their models.
You just have to find what fits your foot. Different shoe companies have different fit in shoes. New Balance makes widths in running shoes like street shoes so that might work for you. The shoe should fit, but not too tight, or too loose. Some shoes will get stretched a little after long use, but you should not run in a shoe until it is completely worn out before replacing it.
What would help me get over this before my track meet?
a shoe should feel a little roomy in the toes, but snug (not tight) in the middle. you should try a number of different brands and styles to see what feels good for you.if the 'roomy' feel you describe on the 9 1/2 size is all toe room, I would go with that.
Anyone run track? I have a question...?
The best advice I Can give s go to the local running store that has avid runners as the sale people. They will fit the right shoe to your foot. To help aid in this they will let you run on a treadmill and watch and see how the foot works for you. They will ask you how the shoe performed on the treadmill. Once you know, you will be less likely to run right into an injury. Good luck.More Questions & Answers...
