Running Shoe Material Guide
Running is one of the most popular sports activities worldwide, and choosing the right footwear is essential to enjoying the experience, avoiding injuries, and improving performance. In recent years, running shoes have evolved dramatically: today we have models designed specifically for every type of runner, surface, and training or competition goal. At Running Emotion, we want to help you find the model that best suits you.
Running shoes are not all the same. Running on road is not the same as running in the mountains, nor is looking for a lightweight shoe for competition the same as one with maximum cushioning for long workouts. Therefore, before choosing a pair of shoes, it is important to consider several key factors.
Some questions you should ask yourself when choosing your running shoes:
- Do I run primarily on paved roads, dirt roads, or in the mountains?
- Am I looking for a shoe for training, racing, or both?
- What type of gait do I have? Neutral, pronated, or supinated?
- How important is cushioning, lightness, or stability to me?
- How many kilometers do I run per week?
- What drop (height difference between heel and toe) is best for me?
- What size should I choose if the sizing is in US, UK, or CM?
You can answer all these questions by reading our running shoe equipment guide. You can also check out our blog, where we analyze the latest market developments and give you tips on training and shoe care.
