Welcome back to *The I Don’t Know Running Podcast*! 🏃♂️🎙️ This week, Lewis and Mitch take on one of the most essential topics for runners—**how to find the right running shoe**. Whether you’re a beginner runner or training for your first marathon, getting the right shoes can make or break your experience.
### **In this episode:**
✔️ Why the right shoes matter (and how they protect you from injuries).
✔️ The types of running shoes: cushioned, stability, minimalist, and more.
✔️ Key features to look for: fit, breathability, durability, and foam types.
✔️ Common mistakes to avoid when picking shoes (hint: don’t trust your street shoe size).
✔️ The importance of pairing the right socks with your running shoes.
**PLUS:**
- Funny stories about running (and not running).
- Why local running stores are the BEST resource for shoe fittings and advice.
- How to prepare your shoes for race day (and why you should break them in first).
