Getting it Right - Running Shoes that Function
October 28th, 2009 by Mike

 

Most athletes spend little time picking out a good shoe, even knowing how important it is. With so many running shoes on the market it can be confusing to know exactly what to look for when researching shoes. Yes, it would be wonderful to purchase a shoe that is not only comfortable, but you can use for 200 miles without costing a king’s ransom. The best running shoe doesn’t have to cost a fortune. The shoe shouldn’t cause any pain.

Jogging shoes are like a http://www.razorkiddiekickscooter.com/ the most important piece of equipment that a runners owns. They help avoid injury and they help the running be more efficient. Millions of dollars go into running shoes and the better jogging shoe manufacturers sink a lot of their profits into the technology and science of those feet protectors.

Ask 10 runners and get 10 answers, but I believe the best are…… Nike, Pumas and Adidas. This is from my own running with these shoes and I’m happy as I was with my Razor A2 scooter. If you get a good Brooks or Asics shoe, they will have good support in the ankle and cushiony throughout. No cushion with the Puma, unfortunately. Yes Pumas are light and feel so good to wear. Go with the Brooks or the ASICS and you won’t be sorry. But it all depends on what kind of shoe fits you best and is most comfortable.  Truthfully, I have yet to find a better shoe than Brooks or Asics. For starters, try the best shoes, then work down to what works best on your foot.

Get a shoe that isn’t right for you and you will pay for it down the road. If you’re just getting started in jogging, this is essential. People get discouraged from jogging simply with a bad shoe that they paid little for. Don’t worry about getting something extravagant, start good and protect your feet.

The first place to go is to an outlet that deals only in in jogging shoes. Advise the salesperson of the type of distance running, the frequency of your running, and whether you run on concrete, track field, etc. The salesperson should check out the shape and arch of your foot. This is how your foot type of determined like the Kiddie Kick Scooter. The shoe for you is based entirely on the arch measurement and other factors.

It doesn’t pay to start buying good looking shoe, you have to have something that really supports your arch and feet. There are a few different running shoes: straight, curved, and semi-curved. To find out which type your foot is, take the wet test: put your foot in water and then stand up on any surface that will leave an imprint of your foot. See the imprint? Now you know what type of arch you have - flat or high or normal.

Crazy as it seems, many people are thinking that running without any shoes at all is good for the feet. This has runners shucking off their high-tech trainers in favor of naked feet — or minimalist footwear like Newton All-Weather Trainer, the Nike Free and the glove-like Vibram FiveFingers.

And who said that shoes prevent injuries anyway?  Do they really?  They really haven’t done anything since they were invented. Some smaller, earlier studies suggest that running in shoes may increase the risk of plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains and other injuries. Runners who wear cheap running shoes have fewer injuries than those wearing expensive trainers. Meanwhile, injuries plague 20 to 80 percent of regular runners every year.
