Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Sneakers
Sneakers aren’t just shoes anymore—they’re a statement, an investment, and for many, a daily essential. But with so many choices out there, it’s easy to make mistakes when buying a new pair. At Covlor®, we believe your sneakers should match both your lifestyle and your values. Here’s a guide to help you avoid the most common pitfalls and make smarter sneaker choices.
1. Prioritizing Style Over Comfort
It’s tempting to grab the trendiest pair on the shelf, but looks aren’t everything. A sneaker must support your feet properly. Poor arch support or tight toe boxes can lead to long-term discomfort. Always try them on, walk around, and ensure they align with your foot type.
2. Ignoring the Sole Quality
The sole is the heart of a sneaker. Rubber soles provide better grip, flexibility, and durability—especially natural rubber like we use at Covlor®, which handles extreme temperatures and is environmentally friendly. Avoid plastic or synthetic soles if you’re looking for longevity and comfort.
3. Choosing the Wrong Size
Sneaker sizes can vary between brands. A common mistake is buying based on assumption rather than trying them on or checking a size chart. Always measure your feet and leave a little room (about half an inch) to avoid blisters or tightness.
4. Falling for First-Copy or Duplicate Sneakers
Many get lured by cheap replicas, but fake sneakers reflect poor craftsmanship and can even harm your posture and energy. As Vibhooti Kishor, founder of Covlor®, puts it:
“Never wear fake sneakers or shoes—they mirror fake energy from within. You can’t be the true hero of your power when you’re walking in a lie.”
5. Overlooking the Purpose
Are you buying for workouts, casual wear, travel, or style? Every sneaker serves a different function. Don’t wear bulky sports shoes to a formal event or choose fashion sneakers for running. Know the purpose and pick accordingly.
Final Thought
Avoiding these simple mistakes can save you money, pain, and disappointment. Invest in original, quality-made sneakers like Covlor®, where every pair combines artisanal craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and genuine comfort. Choose original. Choose energy. Choose you.
