Running Shoes

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR RUNNING SHOES?

When selecting Running Shoes you should make sure that you choose a model that meets the biomechanical needs of your stride. To define your stride, you need to find out which part of the foot impacts the ground first: the heel, the midfoot or the toe. The pronator stride is usually the most common stride among most runners, where the foot rotates inwards in the ground contact phase.

Running shoes should provide optimal cushioning . Depending on your weight and the distance you run, you will have to choose a shoe with more or less cushioning. The weight of running shoes is an important factor to consider, especially for long distance runners. Lightweight running shoes can help reduce fatigue and make running easier.

If you are a runner looking for speed and long distances, we recommend you run on stable and even surfaces, so the best option would be to choose running shoes for running on road. If, on the other hand, you like to run on uneven terrain such as mountains or forest trails, you should choose a specific shoe for Trail running, with less cushioning than asphalt shoes, but with more traction to avoid slipping on mud or gravel.

The drop is another important aspect to consider when choosing a running shoe. The shoe's drop is the difference in height between the heel and the front of the foot. The higher the drop, the steeper the angle between the heel and the forefoot. A drop that does not match your natural stride will force you into a different stride, putting exceptionally high stress on muscles and tendons.
