Common Pitfalls

It is important to consider the shape of the shoe. Etonic running shoes come in three shapes including, straight, semi-curved and curved.

Etonic's patented technology known as Dynamic Reaction Plate is integrated into each of the running shoe styles. These styles are available based on the amount of comfort required for each individual runner.

Insider Tips

Measure your foot's arch height before shopping around for running shoes. Your foot's arch height can indicate which types of Etonic running shoes are best suited for your particular feet. To determine arch height simply wet the bottoms of your feet and step onto a paper bag. Based on the imprint left by your wet foot you can check the arch of your foot.

A distinct curve along the inside of your foot imprint indicates you have a normal arch. The best shoe type for a normal arch are any style Etonic stability running shoes. Hardly much of a curve at all indicates you have a low arch or very flat feet. Flat feet are best suited with Etonic motion-controlled running shoes. You have a high arch in your feet if you have an extremely sharp curve that cuts into the inside of your foot's imprint. Those with a high arch should choose Etonic cushioned running shoes.
