Why choose special shoes?

Good sneakers are necessary for everyone, even non-professionals. But many beginner runners do not understand why special shoes are needed:

  • The fact is that when we walk we put our foot in a completely different way than when we run.
  • The rhythm of running is much greater than walking, and the load on the joints and spine is very much increased.
  • In the absence of load compensation, various injuries occur. This compensation is intended to create special sports shoes.

At the same time, the design and brand of shoes is far from the most important factor in the right choice, the following characteristics are much more important:

  • training frequency and intensity;
  • running cover;
  • setting feet during training.

When choosing good sneakers, it is important that all three characteristics come together just for you. We will deal with them in more detail.

Choosing Running Shoes

In order to answer the question which sneakers are best for running, you need to figure out what kind of running style is implied. And the first question is how intensive training you plan.

Training Intensity:

  1. If you run in the gym, about half an hour after one or two days, then there is no need to purchase special shoes. The main thing is that you should be comfortable with sneakers.
  2. When using a treadmill more often than in the previous version or longer and more intensively, you can think about breathable shoes. It is important to choose perforated shoes or sneakers with mesh inserts. Shock absorbers also become important here. The enlarged heel of the shoe allows you to understand that they are present.
  3. If your training takes place outdoors, or you are overweight, pay special attention to shoes with quality cushioning.

The next important point when choosing special running shoes will be the cover.

Choose for coverage

All models for running can be divided into two types according to their purpose.

Trail Sneakers:

  • Such options are designed for running on rough terrain - conditionally off-road.
  • Usually they are very durable and repel water well.
  • Such models must be required to have a good tread that provides powerful traction.

Important! These options are not suitable for asphalt pavement, for them there are separate models.

Asphalt sneakers

These are the more popular options for running around the city or stadium.

If in the first case the tread is important to us, then we need to pay special attention to cushioning, because when running on hard surfaces the legs get a tremendous load.

Important! But that’s not all you need to pay attention to. In asphalt sneakers, the sole is very important. If it is fragile, then after several runs, the sneakers will have to be thrown away, because the sole can easily be erased or torn.

If in doubt, consider the following tips.

Advice:
  1. The sole of asphalt sneakers should be made of durable ethyl vinyl acetate. On the label, it is written as EVA.
  2. Good shock absorbers are indicated on the markings as follows: Gel, Air, Absorb, Hydroflow and other methods.
  3. Cheap products may not have shock absorbers, or have them only in the heel. More expensive models are complemented by depreciation on the toe.

Important! If you are overweight, buy shoes with double cushioning marked as Gel.

The final, but no less important selection criterion is pronation.

Foot position

The way a runner puts his feet while running is called pronation. Let’s figure out what it happens and how it affects the choice of running sneakers:

  1. If the feet are parallel while running, this is a neutral pronation. She is considered perfect.
  2. Hyperpronation - this type can be detected by the inverted feet during training.
  3. Over pronation is the most difficult option for a runner. Her feet get tired very quickly, and with intensive training in the wrong shoes, corns can appear.

Important! Usually there is a mark on the shoe, for what position of the feet it is suitable:

  • People with neutral or hyperpronation can choose the “N” or Neutral markings.
  • For pronation over shoes you need shoes with special inserts. These are the markings of Stability and Cushion.

Next, consider the popular brands and select the best running sneakers.

As we have already found out, the choice depends on many factors: from the design of the shoe to its purpose and convenience. Let's try to highlight which running shoes are better in different categories, and start with professional models.

Stock footage

Of course, this is far from a complete rating of running shoes. There are separate models designed for winter runs, for people with flat feet there are special sneakers - the list is extensive.

Buying a certain brand, you trust the manufacturer of the health of your joints, so do not be shy and not too lazy to measure the half-store, and better - and the entire range presented in order to choose the ideal model for you. Remember: you should not buy shoes without trying on, because it is not a fact that the option that suits one person and seems ideal for him will suit you. Good luck in sports!
