How to Find Your First Pair of Running Shoes for Beginners?

In this video I walk through the process of finding a new pair of running shoes for beginners. This is one of the most asked questions I receive on social media and I hope that someone is able to get some value out of this video. Running is more enjoyable when you have the proper footwear and it helps to reduce injuries. #running #runningtips #runningshoes

Great meeting you Matt! Glad I could help.

It’s been a while since this video, but I should mention there was a lot in this video I didn’t mention - I was a bit nervous tbh. So please excuse the repeated words, info, etc. I tried my best!

I was told I would apart of the video when I walked in that day. Nonetheless, hope everyone finds some value in this! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

"Let's pretend I'm a new runner". 5 seconds later: "I've done some ultras in the past... I want to focus on marathons" 🤣
Still great content though, this is useful.

Great content. I wish I had this type of help when I first started running.

In any case, if you do not have access to such store with high tech devices, you can look at your shoes and see the pattern of over use. From there, you should be able to determine the type of shoes you need to buy. Another option is slightly wetting your feet and step on a piece of paper. You should see the distribution of weight in your feet.

Says he will act like a beginner, proceeds to sound like a running expert lmao listing off types of runs, shoe models and out right tells him “IM A RUNNER” 😂😂😂😂😂

[brandon]

I really love that you make long form content too not just the shorts!

[grumplo]

That employee is one of the prettiest people I've ever seen

Glad I found u, I’m a bigger guy and truck driver.. I was 295 in November this past year.. down to 250 I’ve been doing all cardio . But all running on treadmill

This video inspired me to go to feet fleet this week and it was a HUGE game changer for me!! I’ll never buy shoes off the shelf again.

[geraldoc]

Fleet Feet is where I started my running journey earlier this year. they got me on the novablast 2 and I been going 💪

[dionnepovey]

Thanks for the Tutorial. Your channel is going to go Far. D

[Kovin_OA]

You know I'm about to hit up a Fleet feet now lol. Need to figure out more about what shoes I need.

[nathaniel]

I love fleet feet so much!!! They actually made me realized that I have flat feet and allowed me to find the correct shoe so I could run without any pain.

[Legitnessmode]

This is the most useful running shoe video I’ve seen

[Nakameguro]

Drop is also really important. If I get pain in my left knee or right hip, it’s almost always due to a high drop. Alternatively, if you have inordinate pain or tension in your calves or tendons, a shoe with a higher drop may be called for.

[Ratnanjaysarvate]

That was futuristic. 😊 I don’t know if something like this is available in India. Learned something new today

[boredsilly]

This is awesome. Didn’t even realize some stores have those scanners, lol. Great timing since I just started training for my first marathon and still trying to find the perfect daily trainer for me.

After a month of training in Hoka Clifton, I started experiencing shin splints. Gonna see a PT for the first time tomorrow since I’m getting a chain reaction and want to find out what I can do better. I have a feeling it’s just a matter of finding the right shoe.

I’m looking into Brooks and Saucony as my next options. I only wish there was a part 2 that went into details about which brands may offer bigger toe box, better for flat fleet, etc. Will do more research but may just be live and learn :) Thanks for the helpful video!

[tuckertech]

I just got a new pair. Got my feet scanned again and I went down a half a size due to the weight loss. No longer needed wide width.

[this-is-not-a-channel-]

Finn just brought us three options... and continued to show us four. good times!

[erikaarango]

I used to run a lot but I definitely would get so beat up so I stopped. I started back yesterday working my way up slowly. Trying to do 2 miles everyday- I ran on my nike free run and today I am so beat. My poor calves and ankles are on fire. Definitely going today to check my feet scanned because I know I’m a heavy stomper and running form isn’t the greatest 😅

[Solveiga]

I was diagnosed with LCL injury and my presumption is due to supinating, since i checked my daily shoes and the wear is more on the outer side of the heel. I am still to do the foot mapping but this video was super super helpful and insightful prior to the testing and getting the shoe for my first marathon.
