How should running shoes fit?

A running shoe that fits well will be comfortable and snug without being too tight. Ideally, there should be about ½ to a full thumb width of space from the front of the shoe to your big toe, offering enough space to wiggle your toes freely without feeling too restricted or too loose. The right running shoe should feel like a natural extension of your body.

How do you best wash running shoes?

For the best results and shoe longevity, try using warm water, dish soap, and a rag for spot cleaning—it’s best to avoid over soaking them in a washing machine. If you have stubborn stains or dirt, opt for an old toothbrush to scrub mud or debris away. To dry, stuff newspaper inside your running shoes and position them in front of a fan or allow them to air dry—it’s best to avoid putting your shoes in a dryer.

How do I pick running shoes?

The right running shoe is a unique choice for every runner. Your best course of action is to research your options to find the best fit for you and determine what your needs are. Filter through our site to search for options that can meet your unique needs. Do you need additional stability and engineered cushioning?

What are the best running shoes for men?

The best running shoe for you will depend on your needs, goals, and the type of support you’re looking for. Your ideal running shoe will fit comfortably, address any instability issues you might have, and will have adequate cushioning that lasts. Typically, these factors will depend on the unique features of your feet, arches, and preferences.

How do you break-in running shoes?

Even perfect-fit running shoes might require a bit of a break-in period. Try wearing your running shoes throughout the day, for low-impact activities, and for shorter bursts of activity before you attempt long runs or races. Be sure to try a few shorter runs to ensure the shoes fit correctly after you’ve broken them in a bit.
