During the movement process, the double foot must bear a considerable strength, impact and reaction force. If it is not protected properly, it is easy to cause sports damage. Therefore, it is best to wear special sports shoes during movement. If not, at least choose a pair of shoes with good shock absorption, covering, stability and imperfection. In addition to achieving comfort, it can also avoid damage.

Senior physical therapy guru Jian Wenren said that sports shoes are a very important protective cover for the foot during sports. Especially when exercising outdoors, such as sports on sports venues, the impact force is very strong. You must have good sports shoes. Even if you are just running indoors, you must wear sports shoes.

If you practice yoga indoors and do some stretching exercises, you don't need to be too careful, or walk on sand or grass. Since your pace is not large, your chances of injury are also lower. In the case of less movement and impulse, it is acceptable not to wear sports shoes; but if you are walking on a healthy trail, it is best to wear sports shoes, and it is not recommended to do it with red feet.

Reasons for wearing sports shoes

●Avoid getting hurt during joints: If you don’t wear sports shoes, you will easily increase the burden on the joints due to excessive impact. Serious words, and even injuries. Therefore, whether you run or jump, you need to wear sports shoes with shock absorption effect.

●Avoid collision injuries: Wear double shoes and go to exercise. It is easy to cause damage to the foot due to lack of coverage, and it may cause damage to the collision or be easily cut by spoils.

● Poor stability and solidity can easily lead to accidents: if you only wear slippers to exercise, you will always worry about the loss of shoes during the process, and you will have to spend more effort to fix the shoes. If you have "one body of human shoes", you will not have these concerns.

● Poor impotence is easily damaged: the body will twist when moving. Only sports shoes with good impotence can protect the feet. Generally, cloth shoes or work shoes have poor impotence and are not suitable for wearing when moving.

It is not necessary to buy professional functional sports shoes

Therefore, you must not exercise with both shoes at will. You must wear sports shoes, and shoes with shock absorption, covering, stability and impermeability to reduce sports damage. Like a very thin five-toed shoes, it is like wearing only a candle while exercising. It has poor shock absorption and protection. You should avoid wearing this type of shoes during exercise. You should also pay attention to a principle. The greater the impact force on the feet during exercise, the higher the protection you wear.

As for whether to wear various sports shoes? Jian Wenren said that special shoes are shoes designed according to different sports needs. For example, sports shoes worn by basketball must have good coverage to protect the ankle; baseball and jogging will be more effective in optimizing the shock absorption effect; if you play table tennis, the range of sports is mainly next to the table, the shoes must have a good anti-slip function and have good softness to achieve the protection effect.

However, ordinary people are not professional sportsmen, and they may not necessarily specifically discuss different sports and choose different special shoes. They will often choose a pair of sports shoes. In fact, as long as the shock absorption, covering, impermeability and stability are good, it can handle most of the sports. It is not easy to divide it very carefully, but buy many types of sports shoes.

Please note when choosing shoes, 1 is the highest principle

10 million cannot exercise just by wearing double shoes. You must wear sports shoes, and shoes with shock absorption, covering, stability and impulse functions to reduce sports damage. So how to choose sports shoes? Scholar Wenren, a experienced physical therapy engineer, said the advice is as follows:

The back of the shoe should be hard, and the heel must have shock absorption force to protect the ankle. Therefore, when choosing, press the hardness of the heel of the shoe to determine the effect of shock absorption.

In the shoes, pick up the shoes and twist them to see if the slightness is sufficient, the foot twists a lot during movement, or the ground is uneven, so the slightness in the middle of the shoes must be sufficient.

Shoes should be soft, and you should check if the softness in front of the shoes is sufficient. If the shoes are too hard, when the tip of the feet is about to leave, you will feel stuck, and it will be very unhappy whether you walk or run.

Shoe heads are wide

The last of the shoe should be wide so that the toes can "dance" easily inside the shoe so that they will not be killed and affect the movement.

Shoes that are too big are not stable and have a feeling of falling off at any time when walking, but you must feel that they will not rush your feet when wearing shoes.

Shoes for slings

It is recommended to choose sports shoes with shoes for running sports, because they are more stable and can be used as devilish slings, but they must conform to the concept of stability.

The sole should be slightly larger

If the sole of the shoe is smaller, the stability will be worse. Nowadays, many shoes will become larger from the top of the shoe to the sole, which is to make the stability better.

lightweight and good air permeability

lightweight shoes are more capable of "human shoes". If they are very heavy, you will feel special power when you get off the road. Shoes with good air permeability will not feel comfortable even if worn all day. If they are plastic shoes, they will be very air-resistant.

One body of men's shoes is the highest principle of choosing shoes. When trying to wear clothes, it depends on your habits. If you are accustomed to wear thick robe, it is recommended to wear thick robe to try. When trying to wear clothes, you should move and walk, so that you don't feel slimming or feeling relaxed.. It is best to buy shoes in the evening, which can ensure that your feet are closed. The most important thing is to emphasize the "one body of human shoes". When you don't think there are shoes on these two shoes, you are a pair of good shoes.
