How to choose the right size of your running shoes

Measure your foot

• Wear the socks you usually wear while running;
• Stand on a hard surface with your back to the wall;
• Place a sheet of paper under your foot and distribute the weight evenly;
• Draw a mark at the longest finger (it's not always the big toe);
• Measure the distance from the bottom edge of the sheet to the mark you have drawn;
• Tip:  takes the measurement at the end of the day as the foot tends to swell.

Choose the right size

Now that you have your foot size in centimeters, you are ready to choose your new running shoe without the risk of error.

To the measurement you got add a value between 1 and 1.5 centimeters in order to leave space between the tip of the foot and the tip of the shoe. During the race, the foot tends to swell with increasing circulation. In addition, when resting, the foot needs space to expand and the toes must have the right freedom of movement.

Let's take an example: if your foot measures 27 cm, you can buy a running shoe with a length between 28 and 28.5 cm. Simple isn't it?
