Choose thick-soled sneakers

　　When many people buy sports shoes, they often only focus on beautiful and fashionable styles. In fact, the most important thing when choosing sports shoes is to see whether they can meet the needs of different sports.

　　Regardless of the form of exercise, matching sneakers have one thing in common: they support your feet and protect them from injury.； Increase friction and reduce the chance of slipping ； Shock absorption, joint protection. According to statistics, more than half of sports injuries among American amateur athletes are caused by inappropriate sports shoes. But different sports have different requirements for sports shoes. When walking, you should choose shoes with better shock absorption in the heels and soles of the feet. ； Generally speaking, running shoes are lighter than walking shoes and have stronger shock absorption function, so as to effectively protect bones and joints. ； Tennis, volleyball and basketball require sudden stops, lateral movements and fast running. Therefore, shoes with thicker soles and good friction are the first choice. ； If you are a fan of golf, cycling, football, rugby and softball, it is best to prepare a pair of professional sports shoes.

　　Fit is the primary factor when choosing a sneaker, but shock absorption, stability, elasticity and breathability are also important. Shoes with good shock-absorbing properties can reduce the impact of external forces on the feet ； Stable shoes protect ankles ； Breathable shoes allow foot sweat to evaporate quickly, reducing the risk of bacterial and fungal infections on the feet. In addition, special attention should be paid to five areas.

　　1. The reflective area is obvious at night. Sneakers should have larger reflective areas on their uppers to make them safer for people who like to run at night.

　　2. The soles are elastic. The soles usually have air bags or a certain amount of support, and have a strong elasticity when pedaling.

　　3. The upper should be breathable. Sneakers should be made of synthetic mesh material with good breathability, and the toe tips should be wide to allow the toes to stretch. ； The heel area should also ensure that the heel can slide back and forth.

　　4. The shoelaces are easy and convenient to tie. It’s best to have quick-tie shoelaces made of knitted, plastic or metal, which will make tying your shoes easy and convenient.

　　5. The insole is removable and washable. The insole is the layer closest to the foot, which can slow down the impact of exercise on the sole and extend the life of the shoe. But the insoles must be removable and washable to ensure the hygiene inside the shoes.

　　Foot shape should also be considered Generally, people's feet have three types: low or flat arches, normal arches and high arches. People with flat arches should choose a pair of shoes with a hard back and strong support. ； People with high arches should choose shoes with strong shock absorption and heel stability.

　　The way to determine your foot shape is simple: Put your feet in water and step on the ground or cardboard. If you can see the shape of most of your foot, you may have low arches ； If it is barely visible, it may be a high arch. In addition, old shoes can also be used to judge. Put the shoes on the table. If the shoes are tilted outward, it may be a high arch. ； And if it leans inward, it may be a low arch.
