[This site - shoes and life] As the saying goes: For a runner to be good at something, he must first sharpen his tools! For runners, a pair of good shoes is very important, because it can not only help you to run faster, but also the largest Degree protects your body. Do you know your foot type? Know how to choose the right pair of shoes for yourself? If you have these problems, don't worry, Xiao Bian solves problems for you. Our aim is to “do not buy the most expensive, just buy the most suitable!â€
Common terminology and basic common sense literacy
Pronateur=Inverted: the wear of the forefoot of the palm
Supinateur = insufficient varus: the forefoot of the hind paw is the outer wear and the lack of varus
Three types of feet:
Over pronation: inversion
Pronation: normal foot
Under pronation: lack of valgus (inner rotation)
Measuring foot type:
Each pair of shoes is suitable for different people and functions are different. Before choosing shoes, please understand your own foot type. In general, there are three types of foot types, each of which is related to your height and arch. The quickest and easiest test method is the "wet foot test" method:
Pour a small amount of water in the platter
Dip a foot completely in water
After the feet are wet, place your feet on a blank hard paper
Press down and lift your foot
Observing the shape of your feet will allow you to clearly understand what type of foot you belong to. This is the first thing you need to do to choose your shoes. It is also the most important step.
Arch classification:
Normal arch:
If you see half the arch in the middle of your footprint, it means that your foot is the most common normal type. This type of foot runner usually does not have enough inward rolling buffer when landing, so the absorption of impact force is not significantly slowed down. If it is a normal arch, you can wear any type of running shoes. Generally, it is best to stabilize the shoes because it can provide enough support for the middle of the arch. For moderate-weight, normal-arched runners, it is more appropriate to use neutral cushioning shoes without any support. This is the most efficient from a sports mechanics point of view.
Low arch:
If you see a complete footprint on the paper, and it is very full and clear, then you are a low-footed arch. The outside of the heel touches the ground during the run, causing excessive inversion and increasing the risk of excessive joint damage or pain. You need to choose a pair of stable running shoes, and double density mezzanine soles, which can give you better support effect, suitable for slight inversion runners. If you are a serious involuntary runner, it is recommended to use controlled running shoes. The hard soles will give you better protection against thicker cushions. The same applies to those who are tall and heavy (more than 165 pounds) or Luo circled runners.
High arch:
If the outside of the footprint is narrow, almost interrupted, and the internal space of the arch is large, then you can be sure that you belong to the high arch and the least common foot type. Such foot type running runners do not sufficiently buffer their feet when running, and they do not sufficiently absorb the impact force of landing. In the past, they had a great injury to the knee. It is recommended that such runners choose neutral cushioning shoes, because they need soft soles to enhance the impact of the pronator muscles to absorb the impact, it is recommended to choose thick cushion shoes.
Running shoes Category:
Shock-absorbing shoes:
These types of running shoes are mainly suitable for runners who do not place too much emphasis on the support of the arch and heel correction. If you are of a normal foot type, there are no serious inside/outside characters, there are no serious lameness injuries, and you are accustomed to using your forefoot when running, then these running shoes are best for you and provide you with comfort, Elastic feeling. At the same time, these types of running shoes are generally lighter and suitable for small and beginners.
Stable support type:
This kind of running shoes is mainly suitable for runners who need some arch support and heel correction. For example, when you are running, you have a slight octagonal or octagonal foot, or you are accustomed to running the back of your feet, or you need to exercise at least 4 times a week, and each time you need to have a foot more than 3 kilometers. Give some support and protection. So this kind of shoes should be more suitable for you. The weight of such running shoes is generally heavier than cushioning type shoes.
PS: cushioning type and stable support type are currently the two most common types of running shoes, suitable for most runners. Whether you are a runner or a senior runner, the performance of these two types of shoes is also very small.
Control type:
If you have already proved that you are running with octagonal feet (more serious), or that your ankles are poor (for example, if you have been injured), or if your weight is heavier than your standard weight, or if you are used to running all your feet, , that kind of running shoes should be more suitable for you. It can provide more support for the arch and heel and posture correction than other types of running shoes, to some extent to prevent accidental injuries. However, compared to cushioned and stable running shoes, the weight of the control running shoes is greater, which is proportional to the protection of the footsteps and the buffering of the shock.
Off-road running shoes:
If you often run on muddy trails on the edge of a small river and run on suburban trails, choose cross-country running shoes. Outer soles have thick lines and hard soles. The upper material is generally waterproof and splashy. Considering the complicated road conditions in the field, there are more stones, sand, and mud, which require a firmer and harder sole. At the same time, the surface of the shoes has a certain waterproof function. Avoid the danger of shoelaces hanging from branches, grass sticks, etc. If you are running on concrete or asphalt, you are not recommended to wear cross-country shoes because the outsole lines of these running shoes are often too prominent, resulting in an increase in local pressure. On a flat road, it will not provide enough cushioning.
Racing running shoes:
This type of shoe is usually designed for racing and pursuing outstanding performance. The purpose is to maximize the potential of professional athletes in the competition. Its light weight, thinness and quick reflection are its greatest characteristics. This kind of shoes is not something that everyone can manage. If you are not a professional runner, you are not advised to choose, because the technology is not enough will cause injury.
Professional marathon shoes
The special marathon shoes designed for professional athletes are designed from the lightest principle in material and weight. Generally speaking, such shoes do not last long. It is possible to use a pair of shoes for a game.
How to determine the type of shoes:
Cross-country shoes and road shoes:
Offroad sole lines are obviously more exaggerated, and even similar to the structure of football sole spikes. Road running shoes are characterized by a relatively light, thin material, and even laces are very thin.
Shock absorption cushion / stability / control type:
Shock-absorbing and cushioning running shoes are lighter, and generally have a softer feel in the midsole, and are basically made of a whole piece of foamed plastic. On the contrary, stability support and control are different. Considering the additional protection and correcting functions of the arch and heel, the midsole generally adopts more than two kinds of patented technologies or different density foam plastics. The shoe soles of the control type running shoes are generally made relatively flat, and the stable running shoes are often contracted at the outer soles of the arch parts and the rear heel parts, and are supported by hard plastic pads.
How to buy a pair of suitable shoes?
1. The heel of a pair of fit running shoes should fit well, but not tight. Try to tie your shoelace but do not tie it tightly. Your feet should easily be pulled out of the shoe. Pass the shoelace through the smallest hole, and your feet will not feel uncomfortable after being fastened. Note that any slight uncomfortable feeling will be infinitely amplified in long games.
2. The uppers of the appropriate shoes should be very tight and very close to your instep. When trying on shoes, many people complain that the shoes are too tight and there is not enough space for the soles of the feet. Unless there is another pair of shoes that are very suitable or tight enough, before trying another pair of shoes, try to change the way you tie your shoes. This may solve the problem.
3. Your feet in the forefoot part of the shoe should be able to move left and right without having to cross the insole. The insole of the forefoot is wider than the sole of the foot. Squeeze the left and right sides of the upper with your fingers. The most suitable and ideal width is to leave about 0.6 cm of space in the widest part of the shoe. If the shoe is too narrow, your little toe is on the edge of the shoe and will feel a noticeable squeeze.
4. During the running, especially in the summer, the feet will appear slightly swollen, so make sure there is room for a thumb between the longest toe and the top of the shoe when you put on your shoes. A pair of suitable shoes, when you fasten the shoelaces, the feet will not feel pressure, your toes can freely swing up and down.
5. Before you put on your shoes, you can do this: Hold the heel, and then press your toes on the floor. The bending of the shoes and this week must be consistent with the actions of your feet. If inconsistent or asymmetrical, it is easy to cause foot arch pain or plantar fasciitis. When the shoe lacks flexible flexibility, it can cause pain in the Achilles tendon or a calf strain.
6. Know your type of arch, this is not all, then you need to accurately choose the shoes that fit your arch. When trying on shoes, don't use the feeling of standing upright. Put on your shoes and try to trot or run on the treadmill in the shop. Try various scenarios, such as sidewalks, uphill and downhill, etc. This can give you a full range of Feelings allow you to adapt to a variety of situations.
Avoid the mistakes of the five election shoes
For newcomers who have just come into contact with running, they may make mistakes or be misled by others in the process of choosing shoes or buying shoes. Xiao Bian sums up the mistaken areas of the top five most popular shoes for all novices. Please avoid!
1. Look for style shoes. Some runners are pursuing fashion too much. When choosing running shoes, they are no exception. I hope you don’t have such erroneous ideas. Sometimes, when you see a pair of very cool shoes, but maybe a few months later you will be issued a similar "This pair of shoes is not comfortable to wear, causing my foot injury." Such complaints. When you buy shoes, consider comfort and functionality rather than fashion.
2. Buy it without asking. When you are ready to pay, don't forget to ask if there is a discount to join the running club. Most major brand stores will give members 10% -20% discounts.
3. Not small but rather big. If the shoes are too tight, it will cause blisters or black nails. Usually women choose very tight sizes when they want to buy shoes because they are very sensitive to the size of the shoes and feel shy in front of others because their shoes look too big. Xiao Bian wanted to say: "Play the piano with your toes." Means that the right shoes must leave enough room in the forefoot, about 1.2 centimeters or so.
4. The time is wrong. Many times, people come to the store in the morning and say to the clerk: I want these shoes. Then the next day I returned to the store and said, "I wore my shoes at 5pm yesterday and found that the size was too small." In the morning your feet began to swell slightly until 4pm, when the size of the feet was different from that of the morning. . So it is recommended to choose to buy shoes at night.
5. Subjective imaginary size. Many people running this problem will commit crimes, such as subjectively thinking that Nike wears No. 8, and NB is also No. 8. In fact, although they are all running shoes, different brands have different sizes and sizes. Different foot types and different uppers will affect the size of the shoes. When you buy shoes, do not be lazy and try on each pair of shoes yourself, because the feeling of wearing on the feet is not deceiving, it is the most real.
