Running shoes play a very important role not just for kids but for everyone. As our body weight is carried by our feet it is very important for us to take care of them. Else it will affect our legs, especially ankles. Thus its very important to wear proper shoes while you run.
There are many kinds of shoes for running that are available in the stores – normal running shoes, shoes with spikes etc.
In general normal shoes are preferred for the kids who are beginners. But for those who are going for national level runs or athletics prefer spikes and others.
How to choose running shoes – for kids
We generally look up for the shoes which have a good fit. Never purchase kids shoes during the day before the run or when you are in hurry. Make some time for yourself and then purchase the shoes for kids. As soon as you enter the store don’t just pick up the shoes randomly based on model or based on color.
Ask the salesman to suggest shoes which suit you perfectly if you do not know the good ones. In case, if you are looking up for any particular brand then specify the model to the salesperson as this will help him/her serve you better.
Never buy the shoes with too much cushion as this might not serve better for sports activities like running. So its better to go for normal shoes if the kid is a beginner. Its better to try the shoes along with socks which they wear regularly. Just go for short walk to ensure yourself that the shoes which you picked up fit well.
For those who are going for the national level runs, then it is better to take an advice from the coach for better results in the run. It is always suggested not to wear new shoes for those who are going for national level run.There are various brand companies which are making shoes especially for national level runners.These shoes serve better for the national runs.
