FAQs
Why size up for running shoes?
Feet swell up to half a size during long runs. Tight shoes cause black toenails and blisters. Aim for thumb-width space at toe.
What about width?
If you have wide feet, brands like New Balance, Brooks, ASICS offer true wide (D for women, 2E/4E for men). Nike and On run narrow.
