Shoe size varies from brand to brand. Don’t just buy your shoes as per your shoe size. Wear and see whether it fits properly or not.

6. Know your perfect fit:
Perfect fit doesn’t mean getting a tight shoes in which your feet can’t breath. There should be about a 1/2 inch gap (of a thumb’s width) in front of your big toe and the end of the shoes. Heels should be tight and should not slip out of the shoes.
7. Pay right:
Don’t go for cheap shoes as they might not be good in quality. And at the same time don’t pay more just for the brand name. Give importance to your comfort and get your gymming shoes at a correct price.
Apart from getting the right pair of shoes, it is also important to know its expiry date. Yes, like your chips and toothpaste, your shoes too has an expiry date. The only difference is that no brand mention it. Average life of a running shoes is 350-400 miles of use. So make sure you change your shoes after that.
