Good afternoon.
A choice of shoes for competition is always a kind of compromise between protection and running efficiency. Thick outsole provides a maximum protection but at the same time shoes weight is higher and the efficiency of push-off is lower. When you choose light shoes with a thin sole there is an increased risk of getting "heavy" legs on the first half of a marathon distance or even an injury.
Therefore, when choosing shoes for a marathon competition you should take into consideration the level of a runner (the higher the level, the more the margin of safety of a musculoskeletal system) and his weight and height indices (the more weight the higher requirements to a protection of musculoskeletal system).
A size of running shoes, especially shoes for competition, should be a little more than a size of your regular shoes. But how much more it depends on your own feeling of comfort, for me 0,5 of a size it's good. Some people wear running shoes that the one size larger but it's uncomfortable for me.

Running Shoes and Insoles For Flat Feet
Question:
Good afternoon, Oleg Sergeevich.
I have longitudinal flat feet, II grade. Usually, the doctors, of course, think I'm crazy because I run with a flat feet. But I know many people with the same diagnosis who run like me and don't have any problems.
I have two questions:
- Should I buy special running shoes which are considered as shoes for runners with hyperpronation? My experience tells me that such running shoes don't differ significantly from ones for neutral pronation.
- Where can I order insoles which could be used instead of usual insoles of running shoes in order to reduce potential harmful impact of running with flat feet?
Thank you!
