I was recently on the hunt for a new pair of training shoes because the New Balance ones I has previously weren't giving me the support I needed. After scrolling through endless Pinterest worthy sneakers, I decided to not go by colour and design like I normally would and try on as many pairs as I could to decide which ones actually FIT nicely.
What to look for in workout shoes
So here is what to look or in your new workout shoes and the questions you should be asking yourself;
- Do these give the arch of my foot enough support or do I feel a strain in my arch? If so, look for a shoe with more support.
- Are these too narrow and are pinching my foot? If so, the shape of the shoe is not for you and keep looking.
- Is there a bit of room left at the top or are my toes being squished in? If they are too tight, go up in size.
Where to buy workout shoes from
I finally came across my perfect pair (pictured above), and it was a bonus that they were super cute and would match any workout outfit that I put them with.
From my experience this time around I can say I have developed a few favourite brands for workout shoes. They are; Nike, New Balance and Adidas. So I guess the three big ones, but there is a reason they are so popular and that is the quality is fantastic. For a large selection of all three brands; check out a store such as Rebel Sports or Amart All Sports.
Trust me, they are definitely worth investing in because those $12 ones from Rubi Shoes are not going to cut it and you will regret it when you are mid exercise and start feeling the pain in your feet.
Thanks for reading!
