How to choose sneakers?

Who among us does not like sports shoes? After all, she is so comfortable, comfortable, stylish and beautiful. But do we all know how to choose the right sneakers?

Sneakers are divided by type and this fact should be considered when choosing them. It is necessary to clearly understand the scope of the use of future sneakers, which will determine their type.

Sneakers for physical education can be universal, but the presence of a hard sole with a rubberized structure is imperative. In the heel area there should be a cavity filled with air, which will provide good cushioning. As for the tread, it can be shallow, but prominent. Such sneakers should not be high, but the use of mesh material is imperative, since the foot must be ventilated.

Running shoes must be light, with a soft inner structure. With such shoes, the load on the body will be somewhat reduced. As well as in the previous variant in running sneakers there should be depreciation hollow elements. It will be convenient to run in sneakers with a thick but elastic sole. The heel of such shoes should be higher than the sock.

For aerobics, shaping and fitness you must have athletic shoes made from flexible and lightweight materials. The ankle must be well fixed so that the probability of injury is reduced.

Parkour or tracing based on complex and even dangerous techniques: jumping, spinning, somersaults, jerks, throws. To practice parkour were successful and safe, you need to choose good shoes. First of all, it is worth paying attention to depreciation, which should be upscale. Many manufacturers place a special gel in the heel and front part of the sole, use springy thick-walled rubber and make the upper part of the heel elastic, low elasticity.

Small spikes may be present on the tread. The top of such sneakers can be made of leather or rubber, mesh materials in this case are not suitable, because they will cling and quickly come into disrepair. During the occupation of parkour the biggest load falls on the sock. The best option would be sneakers with rubberized toe.

For tennis Special sneakers are also required. They are recognizable for high altitude, which reaches the ankle, medium weight, flexible soles in the toe area, small pattern on the tread. In these sneakers you will not slip on the court. Many manufacturers of tennis sneakers include a rubber interlayer in the sole, and a plastic insert is placed in the heel area. With this design, the sole is stiff and the foot is stable in its position. Such sneakers are recognizable on a curved rigid back. Most often, sneakers are made of genuine leather, but high-grade synthetics are also acceptable.

Sneakers for basketball just have to have a hard sole with the addition of rubber. Do not forget about the depreciation insert. It is best to choose shoes with a protector in the form of a Christmas tree, in this case, the legs will not slide on slippery flooring. It is worth considering only leather shoes.

Football sneakers often called "centipedes", spikes must be present on their tread. The height of this shoe does not reach the ankles. If you choose between leather and synthetic sneakers, then the second option would be more appropriate, but only the material should be of very high quality. When choosing shoes for football, you need to very accurately select the size. A discrepancy of at least a few millimeters will not allow one to fully feel the moment of contact between the foot and the ball.

Volleyball Shoes equipped with a rubber sole with a Christmas tree type protector. Depreciation is also a mandatory element in such shoes, it can be gel or air.

Weightlifting It is necessary to have low sneakers with a hard and dense sole, which will provide a reliable support during lifting. In addition, the foot should be well fixed, so you should choose leather shoes with elastic lacing. The tread pattern can be mild, but the presence of a heel lift is a prerequisite that will not allow the athlete to fall backwards.

Sneakers, incorrectly matched in size, cause many problems not only with the foot, but also with the legs in general. To choose the right size for sneakers, you must follow a series of simple rules that were developed by Dr. Mark Kukuzella:

• Runners often change the shape and size of the foot after six months of intense training. Therefore, you should not focus on the size that you had before.
• To determine the size of the legs, you must take a vertical position, measure the length of the foot and its width.
• Even if you are used to wearing shoes of the same brand, do not be lazy to try on models from other manufacturers. Perhaps the sneakers of another brand will be more suitable for a changed foot.
• It is advisable to buy sneakers at the end of the work week, because the legs are slightly swollen. You should not bypass half the size.

• From the sneakers you need to get the insole and attach it to the foot. The location of the foot on the insole should be free, and from the toes to the edge of the insole there should be a distance of about 0.5 cm. The insole must be moderately stiff and not high, otherwise it will take up a lot of space in the sneakers, will quickly become unusable and mute the sensation of contact with the surface.
• Fitting sneakers should be on those socks that will be used for training.
• During fitting, the laces do not need to be tightened very tightly.
• If women's sneakers are selected on a wide foot, then it makes sense to pay attention to the male model. Many of them have a universal design that fits both men and women.
• Shoe new sneakers, you need to rise on your fingers. If the index finger enters in such a position between the heel and the heel of the shoe, it means it suits you and you will not feel any discomfort when playing sports.
• During fitting it is advisable to run in sneakers, of course, that this is not always possible. But such shoes during walking and running can manifest themselves differently.

There are several basic rules and secrets, the observance of which will help to make the right choice of sneakers.

• During the fitting it is worth tweaking sneakers on your own. Incorrect lacing can distort sensations and drastically change the situation.
• Fold line should undergo some testing. To do this, you need to take a sneaker, rest his sock on the floor and put pressure on the heel. The place in which the sole will bend should correspond to the anatomy of the foot. In sneakers with the wrong fold line it will be inconvenient to run, and even flat feet can be earned.

• Corrective insoles are mandatory for people with flat feet. They provide additional support for the foot, give comfort and increase safety during sports activities.
• Buying obviously small or tight sneakers is a common mistake of many.
• Do not rush to go out in the new sneakers. Initially, you need to test them in the conditions of the house: walk around them for a while and even go for a run. All manifestations of discomfort during the run will only intensify and will definitely not pass with time. And to return to the store clean sneakers will be much easier.

First of all, sneakers are evaluated by external parameters. Few of us will buy shoes that do not like their design or its external characteristics cause any questions. That's just about the external examination, and we'll talk.

So, we take in the hands of sneakers and begin to carefully study the name of the manufacturer and brand. From the purchase of a fake, no one is insured and under the type of branded Nike sneakers you can buy some "Nyke". Such shoes can be of high quality, durable and very good, but would you like to take risks and buy "a cat in a bag".

There are also models with a correctly written brand, with no visible differences and shortcomings, but the place of production is not indicated anywhere. In this case, there is also a high probability of acquiring a fake of unknown origin.

The quality of the manufacture of shoes can often be determined by its external characteristics. High-quality sneakers will not confuse you with visible, inaccurate and rough seams, drops of glue on the sole and even more so on the outer material. Smell sneakers, they should not be smashed with shoe glue, rubber and other not the most pleasant things.

It is necessary to evaluate the sole with great care. In good sneakers, the sole has a multi-layer construction, which is made like a sandwich. Usually, the outsole consists of hard rubber and a mid-landing.

If you are deliberately going to buy leather sneakers and want to succumb to the provocations of sellers, then you should use the following tips:

1. On the sneakers should be a special information sheet, which displays the composition of each element of the shoe. True, not all manufacturers report this information to their customers.
2. If there is no information on the sneakers regarding the composition, then you can hold your hand on the shoe for 10 seconds. Heat will become warm from natural leather, and artificial material will be cool and even perspiration may appear.
3. Bend the sneaker. But this time, not to determine the fold line, but to check the rate of rectification of the material. Genuine leather very quickly returns to its original position, but the artificial material will take some time on this process.
4. It would be nice to drop a few drops of water on the sneaker. In the case of genuine leather, there will be a noticeable darkening, but the artificial material will not react to such an effect.
