Shoe Shape

Proper shoe shape in running shoes is important for a correct shoe fitting. Select a shoe that conforms as nearly as possible to the shape shoe fitting. Select a shoe that conforms as nearly as possible to the shape of your foot. The ball of the foot should fit at the widest part of the shoe. This is where the shoe is designed to flex. The "last" of the shoe is the model on which the shoe is built. There are three types: straight, semi-curved, and curved. Each shoe company works from a specific last - their last may match your fit more closely. Don't purchase shoes that feel too tight, expecting them to stretch to fit. Your heel should fit comfortably with a minimum of slippage.
