What we look at
- Your running. Weekly distance, usual run, pace and what you're training for.
- Your terrain. Roads, treadmill, parks or proper trails — grip and outsole matter.
- Your feet. Width, whether your ankles roll in, and any niggles after a run.
- How you like it to feel. Plush and cushioned, balanced, or firm and connected to the ground.
Cushioning, drop and support — in plain English
- Cushioning (stack). More foam is more forgiving over long miles; less foam gives more ground feel.
- Drop. The height difference heel to toe. Higher drops can take load off calves and Achilles.
- Support. Stability shoes help if your ankles roll inwards; neutral shoes suit everyone else.

Common questions
How do I choose running shoes?
Match the shoe to your running: how far you go, where you run, your foot width, whether you need support, and how you like the ride to feel. RightKit asks about all of that and scores shoes against your profile.
Do I need stability running shoes?
Only if your ankles tend to roll inwards noticeably, or you're getting niggles that support helps. If you're not sure, answer “not a clue” and RightKit keeps things neutral with a little support.
How often should I replace running shoes?
Roughly every 500–800 km depending on the shoe, your weight and your surfaces. Update your RightKit profile when you do and it keeps your history.
Is the running shoe finder free?
Yes, and you don't need an account. Sign up only if you want to save your fit and track your shoes over time.
