2. 8 Tips To Shopping For The
Perfect Athletic Shoes
O There are several tips that
can make your shopping
experience for athletic shoes
much more enjoyable. If you
are an active person,
exercising, hiking, or playing
sports you need a good
quality athletic shoe. The
athletic shoe is designed to
support your feet and keep
you comfortable while
withstanding the pounding
that sports can put on your
feet. By following these tips
you will be able to find the
perfect shoe for your needs.

3. Are they Comfy?
O First and foremost the
shoe must be
comfortable. If you are
getting blisters or
pinched toes you won’t
wear the shoe very
long. Even if it is good
looking you will be
wasting your money if
the shoes are so
uncomfortable that you
dread putting them on.

4. Can You Afford Them?
O There are many high
quality designers that
produce good footwear
for affordable prices. If
your goal is to have a
shoe that you enjoy
wearing you should
balance looking good
with feeling good. I am
sure you wouldn’t feel
good about emptying
your bank account just to
have the latest shoe
style.

5. Will They Last More Than One
Season?
O A good quality shoe will
last more than one
season. The materials
should be high quality
and the footwear
should be able to
withstand all weather
conditions including
rain. The soles are
especially important,
make sure they are
durable.

6. Do They Turn Heads...For The
Right Reason?
O Of course, everyone
wants to look good.
Make sure you choose
a design and color
scheme that suits your
taste and lifestyle. Try
to avoid trendy designs
and colors. Next
season no one may be
wearing fluorescent
orange...

7. Will They Look Good With
Jeans?
O Versitility is an
important factor in
selecting a good
athletic shoe. You want
to be able to wear the
shoes while you are
being active and be
able to look good in
them if you run out to
the coffee shop. Many
athletic shoes
compliment jeans or
capris very well.

8. How Do They Feel?
O You want your new
shoes to provide good
support; your foot
should be cradled by
the shoe. If you will be
doing a lot of walking
or running support
around the ankle is
essential as well. You
really need to feel like
the shoe “fits like a
glove”.

9. Get The Good Stuff
O Always buy from a
reputable athletic
shoe retailer. If you
want to save some
money at least
browse in the big
retail shops and then
you can comparison
shop at the
wholesale retailer.

10. Try Them On
O Be sure to try on
several pairs of shoes
to get a feel for how
different brands feel
and fit. You will be
surprised at how much
difference there is
between brands and
styles as far as ease of
movement and proper
fit.
