What shoes are suitable for running?

What shoes are suitable for running? The choice of shoes is very important when running. Only comfortable shoes can better protect themselves and avoid injuries when running. Running shoes are divided into jogging shoes, and you should choose according to your own needs.

First of all, the types of running shoes

1, jogging shoes: suitable for ordinary runners. Pay full attention to protection and avoid sports injuries. The average life span is 1000 km. It is characterized by heavy weight and perfect protection.

2. Performance training shoes: for professional and semi-professional long-distance runners, specially used for track training. This kind of shoes pays attention to the balance between protection and portability. On the one hand, it is necessary to avoid injuries to athletes in training, and on the other hand, it is necessary to let athletes make achievements.

3, marathon shoes: shoes only prepared for running marathons, not suitable for daily jogging. It is light, almost weightless, with poor protective performance and extremely short service life.

Second, the way to distinguish them.

Running shoes are generally heavy and have thick soles. The performance training shoes are in the middle, which feels lighter than ordinary sports shoes and much lighter than jogging shoes. Marathon shoes are very thin, almost weightless, and the soles are very thin, which is easy to distinguish. Runners are more suitable for jogging shoes. Compared with jogging shoes, the protection of this kind of shoes is far from enough, because on the one hand, the physical conditions of professional athletes are far better than those of us fans, and the skills of avoiding sports injuries are much better. On the other hand, in order to pursue portability, manufacturers must give up many protection technologies. This kind of shoes exists only for one purpose, that is, to pursue the highest achievement of professional marathoners.

Third, judge what shoes you should wear.

1, driving conditions

Roads are first divided into cross-country and cross-country running. Cross-country refers to running roads that are not artificially built or not so "good", such as mountain roads, dirt roads and Woods. Track events include tracks, roads and other very straight roads, including plastic, cement and asphalt.

2. Running posture

This is the most important step and the least error-prone step. If you make a mistake, the result may be that you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a pair of running shoes and wear them all day, making your life a hell. There are three general running postures: eversion, eversion and severe eversion. These three relationships are continuous and gradual.

3. Choose the level of running shoes according to the weight.

Because when running, the impact force is 3-5 times of its own weight, the runner with small weight receives less impact force, while the runner with large weight receives greater impact force, so the greater the weight, the higher the requirements for cushioning and protection of running shoes.

In view of this situation, running shoes manufacturers have designed different levels of running shoes according to different weights, which are divided into entry-level, sub-top and top. The higher the grade of running shoes, the more top materials used, the better the performance of running shoes and the more expensive the price.

Runners with different weights need to choose running shoes with corresponding grades. The general situation is as follows:

For low-weight runners under 60kg, it is recommended to choose entry-level running shoes.

For runners with a medium weight of 60-80 kg, it is recommended to choose sub-top running shoes.

For heavy runners above 80kg, it is recommended to choose top running shoes.

The above standard is for men, and the standard for girls can be reduced by 10kg.

Small and medium-weight runners can choose higher-grade running shoes, but heavy runners had better not choose lower-grade running shoes, because the performance of low-grade running shoes is not enough to support the demand of heavy weight for cushioning and protection.

4. Choose the type of running shoes according to the foot type (running posture)

Common jogging shoes are mainly divided into cushioning running shoes and supporting running shoes.

The arch of the foot has normal, high and low arches, the foot type has varus and valgus, and the running posture has three types: normal running posture, insufficient pronation and excessive pronation.

Different types of jogging shoes are suitable for different arches, feet or running postures. The general situation is as follows:

Runners with high arch generally have the problem of varus and insufficient pronation, so it is suggested to choose cushioning running shoes.

For runners with low arch or flat feet, their feet are generally everted, and their running posture is excessive pronation. It is recommended to choose matching running shoes.

Runners with normal arch have normal foot shape and normal running posture, and both types of running shoes can be selected.

Supplementary introduction: In most cases, please choose cushioning running shoes, because many cushioning running shoes also have quite good stable support performance, such as slightly lower arch or slightly flat feet, and you can also choose cushioning running shoes.

If it is a serious low arch and flat feet, then choose the matching running shoes directly.
