Proper footwear is essential for workouts. When shoe shopping, try on shoes at the end of the day when feet are largest, and wear gym socks to ensure a accurate fit. Both shoes should be tried on and feet should be tested with light movement to confirm proper spacing, grip, and lack of issues like instability.

2. Try on shoes near
the end of a day
Your feet can expand by as much as one
size throughout the day. So make sure
you are shoe shopping near the end of
the day, or after your workouts.

3. Spacing
matters
Be sure that there is at least
a half-inch space between
your longest toe and tip of
the shoe.

Wear your gym socks
You probably don't wear dress socks to
the gym, well at least you shouldn't.
Wear or bring your gym socks with you
when buying gym shoes.
Make sure to lace the shoes all the way
up - act as if you're going to the gym.

Try on both shoes
All feet are not created equal - they
come in different shapes, sizes, widths,
and thicknesses.
Some people have two different sized
feet.
Make sure both shoes fit well and take
a walk, or quick jog throughout the
store.
