How should women's athletic shoes fit?

Women's athletic shoes should feel comfortable but snug, so that your feet won't slip when you're exercising or moving around in them. The shoes shouldn't feel tight, but instead secure. You'll want to be able to move your toes around inside the shoe.

Should I size up or down in athletic shoes?

When it comes to athletic shoes, you'll want to size up instead of down. Sizing down could result in your feet and toes getting cramped, developing blisters, or long-term injuries. When you size up, make sure only to go up half a size so that the shoe isn't too big, but is big enough that your feet and toes can breathe.

What is the difference between sneakers and trainers?

Trainers don't offer the support and cushioning needed for running and are better suited for day-to-day activity. Sneakers are better for athletic use as they have the proper support needed to avoid injuries when running or doing physical activity.
