How To Understand The Pace Of Running Shoes And Choose The Right Running Shoes?

Most people don't know, but a pair of worn blocks on frequently used running shoes can tell a very good story.

This story may include a fact that it may be that your overstepping and landing influence is beyond your needs.

It may also tell you that you should try to strengthen your feet, or your differences between feet and feet.

Usually, runners will take gait analysis at the local shoe sales outlets, but actually reading a pair of old shoes may make people understand which shoes are better for you. In fact, some gait analysis may be misleading.

About 50% of the running shoes sold by outdoor shoe stores are so-called stable running shoes.

However, only about 1/9 of running shoes require stable running shoes.

The first step is to get a pair of running shoes that you often use for running training.

Don't pick a pair of running shoes that have worn to unrecognizable.

The second step is to turn over these shoes and read the sole pattern and wear condition.

First of all, you should see the heel area of each pair of shoes. If your shoes show obvious wear marks behind the outside, you may have a great impact on overstepping or landing.

Scientists from Harvard University have found that the impact of overstepping or excessive heel impact is three to five times higher than runners who are closer to the center of the body than runners.

This type of landing causes excessive torque at joints, which many scientists believe is actually the cause of injury.

If your shoes show this type of wear, there are some simple tips, for example, don't let your elbow swing forward too much and step higher.

Almost all runners are landing on the outside side of the soles of the feet. Landing on the outside does not mean that you are too forward.

This is normal. The running shoes are usually slightly larger than the heels of the human body, while the human hip range is slightly wider than that of the running.

The two things made all the runners landing on the outside of running shoes.

Now we know that landing on the outside is normal. Next we need to see which part of the front part of the shoe wears the most.

Your feet absorb the impact through the lateral landing and inward rolling, then push your thumb forward.

Therefore, the ideal wear mode will show that the leading edge of the shoe is the largest area of wear.

This is called Neutral in running shoes.

If you are, avoid the stability of the shoes or the high arches of the shoes, or be added as the function of motion control and support.

If the wear is not visible on the front edge of the shoe, it is more located outside the footstep, which means that your gait can not be well conducted or absorbed.

And you may be a runners with a supinatory muscle type. This is relatively rare, but the main shoe companies do not deliberately create specific shoes.

If your worn position is in the inside part of your forefoot, then you may be a runner with excessive pronation.

It means that your feet collapse more seriously, which causes the legs to bend to the inside, which may lead to excessive joint torque.

For some people, this may be bone deformity, arch collapse or inheritance.

For other people, it may be the weakening of the arch caused by the relationship between "supporting" or "correcting the insole" for a long time. These insoles make the feet unable to function naturally and weaken the muscles of the feet.

If your shoes show you are overpronation, you may be a minority of 1/9.

These people may benefit from wearing stable shoes until their feet return to normal arch or leg muscles.

If you keep wearing the inner side of the running shoes, you'd better stick to the stable shoes.

However, it should be noted that there is little correlation between excessive internal rotation and running injury.

In addition, the traditional stabiliser with double density or inside (arch) has not been proven to reduce internal rotation, but only to make it look like this.

Only the inverted wedge (the wedge of the inner side of the foot is higher than the outside side) can really reduce the problem of excessive internal rotation.

The point is whether we should try to reduce excessive internal rotation.

Other data show that 83% of runners are less likely to wear neutral shoes and do not disturb the natural movements of the body and feet.

About 1/6 of runners are less likely to get hurt while wearing stable shoes.

However, about half of the runners have excessive internal rotation, while the other half is neutral biomechanics.

Another thing you want to confirm is to confirm the irregularity between the left and right shoes.

Look at the soles of two feet, identify possible imbalances, or cause injury or compensation.

One way to improve the stride pattern is to run on uneven ground, such as mountain paths, grassland or even cobblestones.

Irregular surfaces can improve your running skills and even help you to balance your sense of proprioception.

Reading your shoes is one of the most effective ways to understand running state.

The most important thing is to know the relationship between running shoes wear and individual injury, which shoes are the least injured among runners, and those running shoes feel the most comfortable and relaxed.

Once you enter your local outdoor shoe store, try six pairs of different types of shoes and buy shoes that feel the most comfortable.
