Research has indicated that running shoes are the most important purchase a runner can make. There are several choices available, which is why it is beneficial that proper knowledge is acquired before a purchase is made. There are three portions of each running shoe, consisting of the upper, midsole, and outsole. The upper keeps the foot stable, and consists of the laces and tongue of the shoe. The midsole contains cushioning and governs how the foot moves in the shoe. The outsole controls the traction of how the shoe operates on pavement or trails. Some runners prefer a minimal shoe, which may feel similar to running barefoot. Other runners may enjoy running in shoes that have maximum cushioning and support. If you are interested in buying running shoes, it is advised that you consult with a podiatrist for advice on what style of shoe is best suited for your running preferences.
If you are a runner, wearing the right running shoe is essential. For more information, contact Dr. Henry Miller from New Jersey. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Choosing the Right Running Shoe for Your Foot Type
To increase performance and avoid the risk of injury, it is important to choose the right running shoe based on your foot type. The general design of running shoes revolves around pronation, which is how the ankle rolls from outside to inside when the foot strikes the ground.
