Your first running shoes

The only thing that matters in your first pair is that they fit. Brand, colour and technology names come a long way behind that.
Go half a size up
Feet swell when you run. Half to a full size above your everyday shoe saves your toenails on a long run.
Try them in a shop
Go late in the day, when your feet are at their largest. Run a few steps in them; the shop is used to it.
