How to Properly Size and Fit Athletic Shoes

Getting the right size and fit for your athletic shoes is essential for comfort and performance. Follow these steps to ensure a proper fit:

1. Measure Your Feet

Measure both feet as they can differ in size. Use a Brannock device or a ruler to determine your foot length and width.

2. Try Shoes in the Afternoon

Feet swell during the day, so try on shoes in the afternoon or evening when they are at their largest.

3. Wiggle Room

Ensure about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the shoe's end. This allows for natural movement and prevents toe injuries.

4. Walk and Test

Walk, jog, or jump to test the shoes' comfort and fit. Check for any rubbing, pressure points, or slipping at the heel.

Following these steps will help you find athletic shoes that fit perfectly and enhance your performance.
