There\u2019s no denying that sneakers are a staple in any woman\u2019s wardrobe as they can provide edge, comfort, and balance to any outfit. However, not all shoes are created equal, making it important to select your sneakers with care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best sneakers are those that fit and feel the best, and this is determined simply by walking around in them in the store,\u201d says\u00a0Dr. Ernest L. Isaacson<\/a>, a New York City-based podiatrist. \u201cIf they feel good, they will probably continue to do so, and if they feel tight or uncomfortable, they will not undergo a magical transformation to comfortable in the bag on the way home.”<\/p>\n

In addition to comfort, Dr. Isaacson also suggests that there are other important factors to consider before ordering your next pair of shoes. Check out his helpful tips for finding the right pair of sneakers for your lifestyle below.<\/p>\n

Consider the purpose of the sneaker<\/strong>
\n\u201cJust like our own lives, we have to consider the larger purpose of the sneaker,\u201d Dr. Isaacson explains. Sneakers are generally designed to be sport specific, he suggests, and cross trainers are made for a variety of activities including the gym.<\/p>\n

Consider your frame<\/strong>
\n\u201cAlways consider the foot that\u2019s going into the sneaker and the body to which it\u2019s attached,\u201d Dr. Isaacson advises. Generally, a heavier frame demands a heavier and more supportive shoe, which is generally not appropriate for a lighter frame.<\/p>\n

Look for support and flexibility<\/strong>
\n\u201cLook for a shoe that\u2019s supportive and flexible enough to bend in the hand, but not too easily,\u201d Dr. Isaacson explains. Runners should consider a lighter shoe (no more than eight to 10 ounces) for most frames, and look for it to last about 250 to 300 miles, he suggests.<\/p>\n
