How to choose running shoes for women?

Running is a very low threshold exercise, no need for fitness equipment, put on running shoes, take a step, and you can start running. Then it's important to choose a pair of running shoes.

The soles of professional running shoes are designed with special cushioning materials and incorporate shock absorption technology, Adidas boost, Asics gel, and NewBalance absorb the material, which is used to absorb the wear and tear that the knee cartilage would have had to endure when running.

I've met girls in the gym wearing thick-soled shoes, or height-enhancing shoes to exercise. (ﾟДﾟ´)ゞ

Even if your running volume is small, the wear and tear on your knees from wearing unsuitable shoes is still great.

If you weigh a lot or run a lot, you need a pair of professional running shoes to protect your knees.

Characteristics of female runners

01. Wide Hips

Women's hips are larger and wider than men's. This physiological structure makes it easier for female runners to rotate their feet internally while running, creating additional impact pressure.

According to Runner's World, women's running knees are nearly twice as frequent as men's.

To alleviate this problem, additional support should be added to the midsole or outsole of the running shoe.

02. Lightweight

Although weight varies from person to person, women generally weigh at least 15% less than men.

How much weight they have is related to how much foam the shoe designer will add to the midsole.

Lighter women don't need too much-cushioning foam, which means that the women's version of the same shoe is lighter, softer, and lower!

03. Different Foot Shapes

Men's feet are wider and longer than women's, and women's arch and toe distribution are different, all these factors need to be taken into account in the design of running shoes to achieve a perfect fit.

Comprehensive Indicators

A good pair of running shoes are not cheap, and there are thousands of reasons to buy them, maybe it's a certain aspect that hits your heart, or maybe it's a rational consideration of its various properties.

So, what are the indicators that you take away from a pair of running shoes?

01. Appearance

Just like the first impression of a person, appearance is the first concern of many people when they choose a running shoe, but while it is necessary to look at the face, there are other factors to consider.

02. size

"Just because you normally wear a size 37 shoe doesn't mean that everything will be fine if the sneaker is also a size 37. Think about whether you will have foot pain after a period of exercise, and that may be because your shoe size is too small.

It's best to choose sneakers that are half a size larger than your usual size, with a half-thumb gap between the toe and your longest toe."

"You can feel when you try them on, whether your instep and toes feel squeezed, whether your toes are completely immobile, and if the answer is yes to both, then the size is small.

You can also observe whether your little toe is poking out to one side and whether the upper is deformed, both of which are the basis for determining whether the sneaker fits."

03. Material

Generally, runners rarely pay attention to the material issue when choosing running shoes, however, the material is also a consideration indicator yo~

Different materials may affect the softness of the running shoes, the degree of breathability and perspiration, whether they are durable, whether they wear out, and other factors, and even reveal whether the shoes are worth the money.

Breathability is related to the design and material of the shoe, so if you don't want your feet to be stuffy in the shoe, you should consider the breathability of the upper.

04. comfort

Before deciding to buy a pair of shoes, be sure to try them on your feet, try to do a few bounces, run in place, and feel whether the shoes fit and are comfortable.

If it is obvious that the shoes are uncomfortable to wear, such as the sole has an unreasonable sense of protrusion, the interior is too empty in some places, the upper is too tight in some parts or the pressure feels too big ...... (best to go to the counter to try them on)

05. Sole

The sole is also a factor to consider when buying running shoes.

The outsole (the layer in contact with the ground) is mainly considered for its wear resistance and slip resistance.

The thickness, flexibility, and function of the midsole (the main part of the sole above the outsole) are often determined by the weight, training content, foot condition, and running habits of the runner, but too thick will affect the flexibility of running, too thin is not conducive to cushioning and shock resistance as well as the durability of the shoe itself, so generally choose a midsole thickness of 1~2cm.

Shoe type

Now many running shoes will incorporate some of the main features to meet the needs of different runners, the main reference in the selection is the condition of the runner's foot and the usual running or walking habits.

01. cushioning type

Suitable for people: high arch runners, normal internal rotation, insufficient internal rotation.

Features: enhanced central cushioning, excellent cushioning, very soft midsole, comfortable foot feel. Most entry-level running shoes on the market are basically of this type.

02. Support type

Applicable people: Low arch runners, excessive internal rotation, extreme internal rotation.

Features: increased middle support, stiffer midsole, high/multi-density coverage from the arch to the heel.

03. Stability type

Applicable people: People with a normal arch, normal internal rotation, and excessive internal rotation.

Features: between "cushioning" and "support", both support and cushioning, provide stable support for the arch, with a stiffer midsole material.
