Tips to get the right running start

• Locate a specialist running shop (see FIO shoe partners below)

• Have an idea of the type of shoe you need e.g. cross trainer, running shoe

• Take you old shoes with you if they are less than 2 year old (this will help the shop look at your current running action)

• Have both feet measured so the shoe is fitted to the larger of your feet

• Ensure your foot does not slide around in the shoes

• If the shoe does not feel ‘right’ immediately try another model

• Remember the midsole cushion only lasts around 1600kms, so check for creasing in the midsole as a reminder to purchase new shoes

• Don’t buy on price – is it really worth saving a couple of bucks to end up injured?

• If you have found a model that works for you – buy the same model next time around

• Achilles tendon problems? Avoid air soles and excessively spongy heels. Ensure there is a Achilles tendon notch in the heel counter

• Stress fracture? Get a flexible shoe with plenty of cushioning, change your shoes every 640km’s or sooner

• Knee problems? – Make sure your shoe has the maximum support and stability, particularly if you are flat footed.
