Find The Right Running Shoe For You

Running is a great way to stay active and fit, and now that the weather is cooling down, it’s the perfect time of year to lace up and pound the pavement. Running right starts with the right running shoe for you and that is all based on your natural arch and your foot’s degree of pronation.

Getting a gait analysis assessment done is the best place to begin your quest for the right running shoe. And we’ve got just what you need at our RunRight zone at the Sun & Sand Sports Store in the Dubai Mall. Once you get your running style analysed, the results will reveal your natural running style and the type of support your feet will need based on the perfect pair of running shoes. You will fall under one of the following 3 categories – 1. Low Arch, which requires a lot of support to prevent you from injuries related to over-pronation, 2. Medium Arch, that requires a balance of support and stability; or 3. High Arch with mild support and cushioning to prevent arch strain.

Once you have assessed your running style, it’s time to go shoe shopping! Here are a few picks that match the different categories so you can work towards making every run a healthy, comfortable one.
