The right shoes are essential to an overall efficient running form. Here’s how you should pick your running shoes

Arun decided to take up running to improve his fitness and lose some weight. He read on the Internet that buying the right kind of running shoes was the first step in his running journey. He had bought sneakers earlier, but those were bought more for their style than functional value. He walked into the nearest big brand shoe store and asked the friendly salesman to help him out. He was informed that they would do a full assessment of his running and then recommend the right shoe. They did the wet foot test and declared he had flat, over-pronated feet. The recommendation – stability shoes which would correct the over-pronation.
