Sneakers are probably one of the most versatile wardrobe staples for a lady. They’re comfortable, stylish, and pair with everything from jeans and t-shirts to summer dresses. With countless options available, it can be hard to know which sneaker is right for her. A pair of women’s athletic shoes needs to fit her foot shape and her chosen sport. It will help her protect her feet and avoid unfortunate injuries. Let’s explore the ways to choose women’s sneakers.
1. When choosing shoes, sports socks should be worn on the feet. One foot should be in a new shoe and the other foot should be in an old shoe. After comparison, you can choose comfortable and suitable shoes. There should be some distance between the toes and the toe of the shoe. The length of the shoe should be 2~3cm longer than the actual length of the foot.
2. The heel of sneakers should be firm and wide. The upper end of the back of the shoe should be soft. And it is best to choose a style with a higher upper in case of sprain.
3. There should be a tongue lining under the laces to protect the instep and hamstrings. The toe should be high and rounded to avoid pinching the toes and causing the nails to bleed.
4. The sole should be firm, wear-resistant, moderately soft and hard, and the sole should have evenly distributed protrusions to prevent slipping; the front 1/3 of the sole should be soft to facilitate the movement of the toe joints and instep. The sole should also have a soft inter-layer to reduce vibration and impact when jogging.
5. The prices of running shoes of different brands are different, and different upper materials have different cost. It is best to choose the fabric made of nylon mesh cloth for the upper, which has the advantages of softness and good air permeability, and can also adapt to long-distance running.
6. Be careful and patient when trying on shoes. Be sure to try on two shoes at the same time and make a decision after comparing them. Of course, you have to trust your own feelings, the most suitable shoes will be quite comfortable as soon as you put them on.
7. The most important point! Quality and practicability are the first things to consider. Don’t buy sneakers that “look beautiful” and extremely cheap.
Normally there are three categories of women sneakers. A lady can choose the suitable sneakers as her needs.
The first one is jogging sneaker. It is designed for ordinary runners. It is focused on protection to avoid sports injuries. The general lifespan is 1000KM. It is characterized by heavy weight and perfect protection. There are different series of models for users with different physical characteristics and different types of runways.
The second one is training sneaker. It is designed for professional and semi-professional long-distance runners, specially for track training. This kind of sneakers focus on the balance of protection and lightness. On the one hand, it should prevent athletes from being injured in training, and on the other hand, it should also allow athletes to achieve results.
The third one is Marathon sneaker. It is designed only for marathon! Definitely not for everyday jogging! Extreme type shoes are really ultra-light, so light that they are almost weightless, have extremely poor protection performance, and have an extremely short lifespan. This kind of sneaker exists for only one purpose, to pursue the highest performance for professional marathon runners.
