If we desire to select the right footwear, it's not enough to only know the right size. A good guide to selecting a new shoe are your experience with old shoes. If you got blisters from them, they could have either been too small or too big. If they damaged your nails, they are most likely too small. Pain in your lower back is most probably the result of insufficient shoe padding.

Running shoes:

The important thing is whether you plan to run along forest trails or packed terrain. A terrain shoe will be more appropriate for varied terrain than a marathon shoe. If you run exclusively on asphalt or packed surfaces and are of a sturdier construction, we suggest you choose a well-padded shoe.

Tennis shoes:

What's your style of play? Are you aggressive? Do you brake a lot? With the top portion of your shoe? If your old pair are worn on the top portion, you need to find a shoe with special protection in this area. If they are worn on the sides, you need a shoe with an emphasised lateral support on the front portion of the shoe.

Basketball shoes:

Are you a dominating type of player, always under the basket, jumping a lot? Do you twist your ankle every season? Then you should always select semi-high sneakers with a stable mid-sole.

Walking shoes:

Trekking shoes are suitable for easier and less demanding forest walks where an already waterproof upper material is enough. If you enjoy hiking among rocks where the weather conditions are more changeable, a suitable sole should be selected which offers a good grip with the surface (vibra, contragrip, etc.). Each manufacturer has its own designs which are more or less similar to each other. Similarly gora-tex is not the only material of this type. There are also clima-dry, waterproof leather, adiprotect, etc.
