To find the best shoes for you, first consider the shape of your feet. The three main foot types are flat, neutral and high arches.
1. Flat feet tend to have fallen arches, making them flexible and prone to over-pronation, an inward rolling motion.
2. Neutral feet are the most biomechanically sound variety, putting them somewhere in the middle.
3. High-arched feet are essentially the polar opposite of flat feet. When the arches are particularly defined, the feet end up being rigid, leading to supination, or landing on the outside edges of the feet.
Shoe companies have started developing models to accommodate runners of all strides. While selecting, be sure to properly align your foot type with the proper shoe category. Flat-footed people should choose shoes with a higher stability shoe, as they help prevent over-pronation. Neutral runners can generally often run in many types of footwear, but try choosing moderate stability ones, while runners with high arches should choose a cushioned shoe, which provides mid sole padding with flexibility.
