This time I went to a running store and was fitted since I'm pregnant and it's really important to me that I get all the support I need from my footwear. It was an expensive trip, but I now have super comfy shoes and insoles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-shop-for-work-out-shoes#post-1845063 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:40:46 +0000 Boheme 1845063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got fitted for mine at a specialty running store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-shop-for-work-out-shoes#post-1845043 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:31:56 +0000 Mamaof2 1845043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Interval Training - a little of everything</p> <p>@.twist.: ha! mine have purple shoelaces </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-shop-for-work-out-shoes#post-1845024 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:23:49 +0000 .twist. 1845024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked mine out because they were purple. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-shop-for-work-out-shoes#post-1845016 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 10:19:55 +0000 blackbird 1845016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are you going to be using them for?! That's a huge factor. </p> <p>They shouldn't hurt, but shoes do need to be broken in. I would return them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-shop-for-work-out-shoes#post-1844969 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:53:41 +0000 avivoca 1844969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get fitted for them at the running store. Also, if your feet hurt, return them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-shop-for-work-out-shoes#post-1844962 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:50:49 +0000 Tanjowen 1844962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a new pair! I stick with Asics or Mizuno's. It also depends on what type of exercise you do mostly (running v. aerobic). I chose the Mizuno's because it has a very flexible and padded heel and toe, and it hugs my foot. I do a lot of aerobic classes, so it's important to me to have that support and cushioning. </p> <p>I went to a sporting goods store and did what you did - tried on every Asics/Mizunos they had, and then came home and bought the pair I wanted off Amazon for a cheaper price. I'll wear them around inside for a day to see how it feels and return them if my feet hurt after awhile.</p> <p>I would return them if your feet hurt. Usually for me that's the signal I need new shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-shop-for-work-out-shoes#post-1844921 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 09:31:20 +0000 Mamaof2 1844921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I joined a gym and need new shoes - I tried on 5-6 pairs and walked around the store in them - picked one and brought it home.</p> <p>wore them around the house for about 2 hours and my feet hurt - ugh! Wondering if I should return them or if it was just because it was the end of the day and my feet/legs were tired or what??</p> <p>How do you pick a pair?? </p>
