Footwear Knowledge: Knowledge Of Tennis Shoes (Two)

Don't try to squeeze your shoes to the maximum, and many people can't resist it.

Choose shoes that suit you.

First of all, the sole needs to be absolutely smooth and as close to the ground as possible, so as to reduce the risk of sprained ankle.

The arch of the foot needs some flexibility, but not too much, otherwise it will waste your power when moving.

Experts believe that there are roughly three types of tennis shoes with their respective foot types and characteristics.

The foot of the arch is higher.

A pair of flat feet should choose the softer shoes of the upper, because the friction between the flat feet and the shoes is greater. If the soft leather shoes are soft, the comfort will be more comfortable.

If your foot has some internal pronation (arch collapse) - this is very common - then you should wear a pair of shoes that provide more support and greater absorbability.

That kind of shoes with excellent shoelace system, such as K SWlSS, will help you keep your feet and legs in a straight line to coordinate movement and improve the efficiency of movement.

Side support

Tall players especially need this kind of "side support" - look for a pair of sneakers with wide, flat, sewn and strong protective shoes. Now many new tennis shoes are designed on both sides of the shoes to prevent the side of the feet from twisting.

Many new tennis shoes also have a specially designed shoelace system that allows the feet to stay in the shoes safely while moving sideways.

For those players whose ankle is weak, we will highly recommend high quality shoes.

It is necessary to mention that tennis is a sport that focuses on the body's center of gravity for most of the time. It always exerts pressure on the forefoot. The result is that it can easily cause pain in the soles and toes, as well as other serious pain in other parts of the body (such as ankles, calves, buttocks, flexors and back).

The best way to avoid it is to find a pair of shoes that can distribute gravity to the entire length of the feet, so that the front feet can be rested.

If you don't understand how to find such shoes, the easiest way is to avoid those shoes with special soft leather.

Sensitive area

There are some areas on our feet, such as ankles, heels, Achilles tendons and feet, which are more sensitive than other parts.

Make sure that the shoes are in good shape around the areas and the tongue is exactly in the right position, so that the shoelace will not rub against your feet.

If you are flat feet, you need softer things to adjust to your feet, especially in these areas. If your arch is very high, you need stronger protection.

If possible, try putting your shoes on for several times while trying on shoes, and you'd better not wear socks. This will help you find out the potential weaknesses of these shoes.

Size

Size is probably the hardest thing to do right now! Too big, shoes will make your feet grow blister quickly; too small, the feet are always squeezed and may be permanently damaged.

When choosing shoes, there are always 3 concepts in mind: length, width and height, that is, the overall volume.

Between the brand and the brand, these 3 elements will have certain differences.

A brand may be suitable for you in width, but it will be too long or space for toes is not enough, so you have to be patient and try out as many shoes as possible until you find a brand with the best size for your toes.

The same thing to remember is that the size and shape of your feet will change throughout your life, so try them on before you buy new shoes.

As age increases, the feet will gradually collapse, extend and become longer. This is more common in people over 50 years of age.

Shock absorption system

In the manufacture of tennis shoes, there are usually two kinds of cushioning materials: polyurethane (a high density, wear-resistant but heavy material) and EvA (a lighter, but less stable ethylene material).

Changes in the density of raw materials will affect the robustness of the shoes.

And the best.
