The National Sports Season may be the most conservative and steady shoe purchase guide you have ever seen

The National Sports Season may be the most conservative and steady shoe purchase guide you have ever seen

1. Determine the size

Size selection is an inevitable problem. It is not only the difference between different brands, but also the different product lines of the same brand. For example, New Balance has a lot of shoe last models.

1.1 Physical store try on

This method is the most foolproof, but it is also the most wasteful time, and the applicability is not high.

1.2 Based on the US (US) code

Look at the US code of the running shoes at hand, and follow this code to buy other running shoes. Personally recommend this method.

1.3 Add half yards to the dress shoes

If there is no running shoes on hand, add 0.5 on the basis of the US code of the shoes, if the foot fat can add 1 yard.

1.4 The length of the foot

Although there are many articles that advocate this method, I think the US code is more convenient and easy to operate. However, this method is recommended for some special running shoes. For example, Vibram FiveFingers five-toed shoes require a long foot size.

2. About the budget

Many purchase apps use price as a reference factor, but the price fluctuates greatly. For example, the top running shoes are priced at 1200+, and Haitao may win 600+. If you encounter special or old promotions, 400 is not. It is not possible, and the more applicable top-level running shoes can generally be bought three or four hundred. This price is not expensive from any angle, so this article does not consider the budget when recommending the model.

3. Uses and needs

To buy running shoes, you must first understand your needs and usage scenarios, so that you can make more targeted choices.

3.1 Gym and everyday wear

If you only wear it in an indoor gym or usually wear it, give priority to the brand and appearance, followed by comfort and performance again.

3.2 Jogging and training

4. Model recommendation

This section selects the most classic and often available special models for everyone to buy.

4.1 Gym

The brand and appearance should be given priority in the gym or everyday wear.

Recommendation 1: Adidas Ultra Boost

Ultra Boost has been Adi's star product since its first release. It has a strong cushioning and resilience, and it has excellent foot feel. Even if it is not worn, it is very suitable, and the comfort of the knitted upper is very high.

Recommended 2: Nike Epic React Flyknit

To say that brand recognition and design sense is Nike, the hook is highly recognizable. This pair of running shoes just released this year clearly surpassed their previous generations in performance, especially the excellent resilience, coupled with Nike's strong publicity, I believe it will become a star product like Boost.

4.2 Jogging (big weight)

For the big weight group, you need to choose the top running shoes. The top level means stronger protection and more cushioning materials to prevent user injury.

Before selecting, first find A4 paper on the ground, then use a wet foot to step on a footprint, then compare the picture below.

Normal arch or high arch, please jump to 4.2.1

Low arch or flat foot, please jump to 4.2.2

4.2.1 normal arch or high arch

This type of foot type suggests to choose a cushioning running shoe.

Recommendation 1: Brooks Glycerine

This is a classic model of Brooks, one of the four major running shoes brands. Glycerine uses SuperDNA cushioning technology, which is good for both slow and long-distance running, whether it is for short or long distance running.

Recommendation 2: Mizuno Wave Prophecy

Japan's Mizuno is not among the top four running shoes brands, but it should be the most successful mechanical shock absorber in running shoes. This pair of Wave Prophecy uses the strongest Infinity Wave of Mizuno Wave cushioning technology, compared to the above. Glycerine cushioning and rebounding is more direct and has a spring-like feel.

4.2.2 Low arch or flat foot

This type of foot type suggests to choose a support running shoe.

Recommendation 1: Asics GEL-Kayano

Asics, one of the four running shoes, is also known as the king of running shoes by the rivers and lakes, and the design of Japanese running shoes is more in line with the Asian foot. The most famous model is the more than 20 generations of Kayano, which is the product of many of Asics' latest technologies, including the famous GEL cushioning glue. This pair of shoes has both high cushioning and strong stability, so it has become one of the must-have running shoes models.

Recommendation 2: Saucony Hurricane ISO

Saucony, also one of the four major running shoes brands, is also known as Rolls Royce in running shoes. This Hurricane ISO is positioned as the top support, and the latest EVERUN cushioning material has been used since its second generation, which has significantly improved performance. The foot feels good and the durability increases.

4.3 Jogging (normal weight)

For people of normal weight, it is recommended to choose the top-level running shoes. It is called the second-level top because it is less than the top in the stack of technical materials, but it is not comfortable or running when the last top is not as good as the top. Fast, on the contrary, the top level is more comfortable because of the right amount of technology and light weight.

Before selecting, first find A4 paper on the ground, then use a wet foot to step on a footprint, then compare the picture below.

Normal arch or high arch, please jump to 4.3.1

Low arch or flat foot, please jump to 4.3.2

4.3.1 normal arch or high arch

This type of foot type suggests to choose a cushioning running shoe.

Recommendation 1: Mizuno Wave Rider

This award-winning Wave Rider is a must-have for me. As a sub-primary cushioning system, it is not as hard as the top model. Wave damping board is just right if you have several pairs of foam midsole. If you run shoes, this pair of mechanical shock-absorbing running shoes is very recommended, you will not let you down.

Recommendation 2: Brooks Ghost

This is a classic model of Brooks, one of the four major running shoes brands. Unlike the Rider above, this is the physical shock-absorbing running shoe for the midsole of foam. It is another kind of different foot feeling. There is also a high reputation in the circle.

4.3.2 Low arch or flat foot

This type of foot type suggests to choose a support running shoe.

Recommendation 1: Asics GEL GT-2000

Asics, one of the four running shoes, is also known as the king of running shoes by the rivers and lakes, and the design of Japanese running shoes is more in line with the Asian foot. Everyone should have heard of the famous Kayano. It belongs to the top support system, and this pair of GT-2000 belongs to the top-level support system, which is both cushioned and stable. It is suitable for normal weight running friends.

Recommendation 2: Saucony Guide

Saucony, also one of the four major running shoes brands, is also known as Rolls Royce in running shoes. This pair of Guides has both cushioning and supportiveness, and since the 9th generation, Saucony's latest EVERUN technology has been introduced, in performance and foot. It feels even better.

4.4 Racing

I believe that students with this demand have a certain sports foundation and have accumulated a considerable amount of long-distance running. Then they know more about themselves and are familiar with running shoes models. So I don’t recommend specific models here, but recommend two series. Specifically choose which model of the series, or choose according to each person's own situation.

Recommended 1: Adidas adizero series

Adi's adizero is a lightweight racing shoe developed by Japanese designers. It is also the winning boots of many marathon champions. Although lightweight, the amount of technology is unequivocal, which can provide the required cushioning in long distance races. And rebound, it will not be burdened by weight.

Recommendation 2: Asics TARTHER Series

The TARTHER series is also called Tiger Walk. The most obvious sign is that there are two Chinese characters on the tongue. The history is 10 years longer than the famous Kayano. Although it is lightweight, it is still built in the midsole. The housekeeping technology GEL cushioning glue has excellent foot feeling. Tiger walking is also a special running shoe for me to participate in the marathon, which is quite worth recommending.

4.5 Off-road

Some cross-country running shoes will also have a waterproof derivative with GTX, you can decide whether to choose according to your needs.

Recommended 1: Salomon XA PRO 3D Ultra

Salomon's cross-country running shoes have long enjoyed a good reputation. Although the S-Lab series represented by small red shoes is very high, the lightweight competition is not controlled by ordinary runners, so I personally recommend this XAPRO 3D Ultra, which has Comfortable foot feel and a strong, protective outsole with a relatively light weight for training or competition.

Recommendation 2: Hoka One One Stinson ATR

Hoka One One is also a famous cross-country running shoe brand. It advocates the concept of maximizing cushioning. The iconic design is a wide midsole like a platform shoe. The purpose is to use more material to absorb shocks and avoid user injury. The feeling of the foot is very good, but because the midsole is extremely thick, there is a higher demand for the strength of the ankle.

4.6 Auxiliary

Recommendation 1: Vibram FiveFingers Bikila EVO

In the past two years, it has been popular in thick midsole running shoes. In the past few years, barefoot running shoes are the mainstream. The most representative product is the Vibram FiveFingers five-toed shoes. This unique shoe is mainly designed without cushioning. Wearing the same as not wearing, only provides the safety of the soles of the feet. For ordinary runners, it is very possible to wear such shoes to participate in the competition, but if used for training, it can significantly strengthen the calf strength, but be sure to pay attention to it. Gradually adapt from the beginning to avoid injury. I have a lot of shoes of this brand. I wear them when I go shopping, work, running or traveling. Although there is no cushioning and protection measures, I can say that this is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

Recommendation 2: Altra Torin IQ

Since most runners do not have coaches to help guide the movements, they need to rely on protective running shoes to reduce the chance of injury. However, Altra's smart running shoes can also provide a certain guiding function. It can measure the grounding time, ground impact force, ground contact area and other first-hand or first-foot parameters through the chip under the feet. The data is analyzed and transmitted to the runner in real time through voice. It can guide the running posture more intuitively and play the role of a personal trainer. This is very practical.
