How do you check if a running shoe fits? | FitX Experts

How should you check a running shoe before you trust it for miles? Ed Malley, Master Instructor of ChiRunning and ChiWalking, talks with Jennie Chen, Co-founder of FitX, about the thumb-width check done standing up, with someone else pressing, room at the sides of the toe box, lacing that is snug but not tight, and comfort as the final test. He also explains why "break-in" is a myth: if a shoe is uncomfortable on the test run, it is not the shoe for you.
