What shoes are good for running?

The shoes you wear when running also require a lot of consideration. If you wear some very ordinary shoes, you may sprain your ankle, or get foot cramps, or even strain your foot ligaments, so you must take protective measures. Generally speaking, you should choose some running shoes that suit you. So let us now find out what shoes are better for running.

1. The heel must be firm so that the heel is stable and not easily tilted.

(ii) There should be an appropriately raised tongue on the top of the heel to protect the Achilles tendon without irritating it.

(iii) There needs to be a lining under the shoelaces to protect the instep and toe flexor tendons.

(iv) It is best if the toe of the shoe is high and round so as not to pinch the toes or cause bleeding on the nail bed.

(5) The heel should be wide and stable, and the sole should have a soft layer to absorb shock. The rear end should be sloped to facilitate forward movement of the foot.

(6) The sole should be layered, with different thickness and materials at the front and back. The bottom layer that is in direct contact with the ground must be strong and wear-resistant, but not so hard as to lose its cushioning effect. It must also have properly distributed protrusions to provide traction on the ground to prevent slipping.

(VII) The front 1/3 of the sole should be soft to accommodate the dorsiflexion of the metatarsal joint and reduce damage to the Achilles tendon.

(8) The best time to choose shoes is in the afternoon. Because the feet have been active for several hours, they will be bigger than in the morning. And when choosing shoes, you should wear sports socks. It is best to put the new shoes on one foot and the old shoes on the other foot first. After comparing them with each other, it is easiest to see whether they fit you best when you put the new shoes on both feet.

(IX) Space should be reserved for the front end of the toes, which should not touch the toe cap. The shoes may become wider after being worn for a long time, but they will not grow longer. Therefore, the length of the shoes should be at least 2 to 3 centimeters longer than the actual length of the feet.

(10) The prices of running shoes from different brands vary, with some costing as high as several hundred yuan. For most people, there is no need to buy the most expensive ones, because the more expensive running shoes are often branded competition shoes, which are different in order to reduce the weight of the shoes. These competition running shoes are not suitable for daily training, so don't be fooled by the price.

11. The material of the upper also has a great impact on the price. In theory, uppers made of high-quality leather are more durable, but in reality, the soles are often worn out first. The upper made of woven nylon mesh is lighter and more breathable, so it is easier to keep feet dry and cool. During long-distance running, it can also stretch moderately to accommodate slightly swollen feet. These are its advantages, so there is no need to insist on buying leather running shoes. Following the above principles, you can buy a pair of good jogging shoes.

But it should be noted that you should not wear running shoes when playing ball sports such as basketball and tennis. Because both sides of the shoes need to be specially strengthened to facilitate the rotation and sudden movement of the foot, the thickness of the soles front and back is relatively flat. If you wear running shoes to play basketball, tennis, etc., you will often suffer sports injuries such as sprained feet.

In the article we have learned which shoes are better for running, so everyone should pay special attention not to wear tennis shoes or basketball shoes, because the sides of the shoes need to be strengthened when running, so that they can be suitable for running.
