S o, you've finally decided to make good on your New Year's resolution to get some exercise. You've got the determination. You've set aside the time. Now, all you need are the shoes. But, if you've been shopping for athletic shoes lately, you know that finding the right pair is no power-walk in the park.
Prices are high, selection is overwhelming, and service is often minimal.
And, even if you find a shoe that fits, it still may not be a good fit for you. An athletic shoe needs to do more than just slip comfortably on your foot, say shoe and exercise experts. Not only should the shoe be created specifically for your sport, but it also needs to be designed to accommodate your type of foot. Too many people, especially those just starting an exercise program, try to skimp on shoes. They buy an inexpensive pair of running shoes, cross-trainers or tennis shoes and wear them for every activity.
