Appropriate your running shoes should be how to choose

Choose running shoes aren't very complex, only needs to follow the following several steps.

A, running shoes structure

Sports shoes manufacturers have to most person namely the sports biomechanics research, and to differ namely features produced the corresponding shoes to meet different people's needs. Running shoes can according to its function is divided into 5 kinds of (control action class, damping plus mat type, stable class, game class, cross-country class), shoe model can be divided into straight type, half bending type, bending type of 3.

Good quality running shoes whatever brand its main structure has similarities. Among them the outsole is in contact with the ground layer, quality of a material is a little stiff, wear-resisting, have prevent slippery function. There are a few very light running shoes without outsole, this kind of shoes fit only for running on the dress when.


Middle-level bottom is the most important damping layer, it than outsole soft, the foot bow place support can control bending distortion shoes force, and the landing of impact from the heel transmission to the foot. Shoes heel of shock absorber is the most important, each brand has its own technology and characteristics. Inside bottom can usually take out, it is shock and correction foot faults of the last line of defense. Vamp primarily let feet and shoes closely, both ventilation cooling function. Shoes heel hard to help can improve the stability of the feet when landing.

Second, sneakers function

According to the function different features of, athletic shoes can be divided into the following one of 5 kinds of:

1, control action class: suitable for moderate to severe turn inward type, and weight feet high, it can improve runners to heel and ran motion control, and can support arches parts. Its exterior characteristic is arches parts, the weight of the medium thick shoes stressedthe.

2, damping plus mat categories: suitable for running technology are in good feet palms or central landed, and with the sole and lateral supporting runner. The weight of the secondary side, shoe sole thicker.

3, stable categories: suitable for mild to moderate turn inward namely, with their feet in central and lateral supporting runner. Shoes from weight medium.

4, game types: suitable for running technology, with lighter weight or feet slightly turn inward runner use. Shoes from light in weight.

5, cross-country categories: sole thicker, groove is deeper, suitable for land, forest and other natural ground running wearing. Shoes from weight is heavy.

Third, analyze your foot

Understand shoes after structure and function, should study oneself namely. "Wet feet test" can help us decide namely. "Wet feet test is to foot after touching water on dry ground, then according to the shape of the footprints your feet concluded to the following three types. Of course there are many people namely may be between two types between, so be about to see which one feature more obvious.

1, normal type

The foot arch height is very normal, the footprints of central radian but not interrupt. When you are running normally with heel lateral touchdown, then turn the medial scroll to slow wallop, finally the transition to full foot touchdown. This foot and of normal weight runners from movement mechanics speaking is efficient, can choose the half bending type of stable class or suspension plus mat of running shoes.

2, flatfoot type

Because of the foot arch is low, so footprints full, whole sole will print on the ground. Flatfoot in running tended to heel lateral touchdown, then excessively approach to scroll, forming turn inward. If not to correct them, many excessive wear type of joint damage may appear. Flatfoot runners should choose straight valve or half bending type, equipped with special reinforcement arches cottrell mat shoes to reduce turn inward degree. Avoid wearing damping mat is too thick, or bending type of running shoes.

3, high arches type

Footprints outside is very narrow, almost disruption, the internal space big arches. This foot in landing usually inward rolling buffer is not enough, so to impact absorption slowdown is not obvious. People with this foot should choose damping plus mat class, bending or half a crooked shoe. Shoes can bend sex should better add feet range of activities, avoid stability of shoes.

In addition, no matter which type and brand of choice, try running shoes should be in just the right basis increasing half number (Anglo-American theworldsbiggest) to a size (European size), because when you exercise foot will swell, and must therefore set aside enough space.
