1- Why do I need this sneaker? You need to ask yourself this question before shopping for sneakers, on what occasion will I wear it? Is it for school, a stylish run or you gonna hit the basket with it? So summer is coming, and we all need to get these abs out after their long fat winter sleep, and I think a month of running can wake them up, in this case I would go for an Air Max or a Roshe as they’re very comfortable and light, not to mention their stylish designs and colors. However, for hitting the yard I would totally take a Jordan or an AF1, actually any High top sneaker will do the job. But for a classy shoe that would finally impress that pretty girl at school, I will totally pay the 1700 aed and buy the Pinnacle
2- Pick a healthy shoe for your foot! Our feet carry our weight for the whole day, so we must make sure that they’re absolutely healthy and comfortable to avoid any medical problems. So with shoes we must take care of arch support, the arch of the foot acts as both a shock absorber and balancing mechanism, so when choosing your shoe, make sure this bone is protected enough
3- Consider the material of the sole Soft soled sneakers are much more comfortable and actually quieter than stiff, inflexible soles. Some hard soled shoes will make a mark on hard surfaced flooring, and in some situations, such as hospital environments, the tapping of hard soles can be disturbing to people in the workplace, as well as patients.
4- Always check material of the upper of the shoe Most shoes today are made of leather, but there are a lot of grades and types of leather, and each has its own characteristics. Personally, I prefer Suede or patent leather as they don’t require polishing. And for those against animal cruelty, they can always choose synthetic materials or natural fibers.
5- Make sure of your size This is a very important aspect of shopping for shoes online, as you don’t get to try the shoe before ordering it, so make sure you know the length of your foot, or refer to our blog about how to choose your size.
6- Consider the heel height of the shoe Now sneakers don’t have high heels, as they are generally made for sports. However, considering that is very important especially for basketball players.
7- Never let the price affect your decision We all have a certain budget that we are willing to spend on sneakers, but with shoes paying an extra 100 aed would mean a more durable shoe and much more comfort especially for running shoes, as bad shoes might cause health effects.
