Running Shoes - How to Choose the Right Running Shoes!: "Ensure Your New Shoes Fit Properly
A proper fit is THE most important step in finding the right running shoe. A shoe that fits will be snug but not tight. A common mistake that's a killer is to buy shoes that are too small.
Use the following guidelines to ensure a proper fit.
Check for adequate room at the toebox by pressing your thumb into the shoe just above your longest toe. Your thumb should fit between the end of your toe and the top of the shoe.
Check for adequate room at the widest part of your foot. The shoe shouldn't be tight, but your foot shouldn't slide around, either.
The heel of your foot should fit snugly against the back of the shoe without sliding up or down as you walk or run.
The upper (part of shoe that wraps around and over the top of the foot) should fit snugly and securely without irritating or pressing too tightly on any area of the foot.
Once you've found running shoes that feel right, walk/jog/run in them as much as you can. Some stores have a treadmill, others allow a run around the parking lot and some don't let you do anything other than bounce up and down. You need to feel the shoes in action."
