Recently, I have been receiving various private messages from Codoon friends, and the most frequently asked questions are about choosing running shoes. I picked a few to give you a feel—
"Editor, what should I pay attention to when choosing running shoes?"
"Editor, I am relatively heavy. What type of running shoes should I choose?"
"Editor, I injured my knee while training for a marathon. Can you recommend a pair of running shoes for me?"
"Editor, my budget for running shoes is within 300 yuan. Which brand should I choose?"
I've been bombarded with similar questions dozens of times, and my head is spinning. So, to solve the problem of how to choose running shoes for many Codoon friends, I'm here today to give you some guidance. Listen up, everyone~
What factors should be considered when choosing running shoes?
When it comes to choosing running shoes, I believe everyone has their own set of criteria.
From the appearance perspective—consider factors like aesthetics, style, color matching, and brand; from the performance perspective—consider cushioning, breathability, stability, and protection; from the cost-performance perspective, also consider whether the price is too high and whether it's worth buying.
So, among all these factors, which ones are the most important?
1. Cushioning
Running is a high-intensity, large-amplitude exercise. No matter how slow you run, it will cause a certain degree of impact on your knees and ankles, with the impact force being about 3 to 5 times your body weight. This continuous impact can easily lead to knee injuries, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, and other injuries.
Therefore, we need something to absorb the impact instead of our knees and protect the bones and joints of our legs. That something is running shoes. In my opinion, alleviating the impact of running on the knees is the most important function of running shoes and the performance that runners care about the most.
2. Stability
When it comes to stability, many Codoon friends might not understand, "What does stability have to do with choosing running shoes?" I want to say, it has a lot to do with it~ The stability of running shoes refers to the shoes not easily deforming or getting damaged during long-distance and long-duration exercise.
Especially now, many runners like to run marathons, whether half or full marathons, which actually have a significant impact on the shoes. But stable running shoes can still maintain their original shape after enduring various tortures and abuses on the marathon track.
3. Cost-performance ratio
The cost-performance ratio of running shoes is also a factor that many people pay attention to. After all, not everyone is wealthy, and not every runner can afford very expensive running shoes. For example, I often have to tighten my belt every month, so buying high-end, luxurious, and expensive running shoes is simply wishful thinking. Therefore, whenever I choose sports equipment, I carefully consider its quality, performance, and cost-performance ratio.
At this point, some Codoon friends might say, "You've talked about what to pay attention to when choosing running shoes and the most important factors, but you haven't recommended a suitable pair of running shoes. What's the point?"
Whoa! Don't rush to criticize me. I actually have some solid recommendations today. I can't say I've seen countless people, but I've definitely seen countless shoes. And although I've seen some big scenes, I was still shocked by a pair of newly launched running shoes!
This pair of running shoes is impeccable in terms of appearance and aesthetics, and it also excels in cushioning and stability! Most importantly, the cost-performance ratio is so high that I bought two pairs!
So here's the key point, everyone quickly click on the video below to feel how strong the cushioning of this pair of running shoes is, how excellent the stability is, and how high the cost-performance ratio is!
