Sizes of ASICS sneakers. How to choose the right sneakers for running? - recommendations and models of ASICS sneakers which choose

Bright, light, elastic: wear - and you want to take off. That is how many people have the first impression of ASICS sneakers. Yes, and they have such a life-affirming. However, about this later.

Birth of a healthy mind

In addition to bright "appearance", Sneakers Asix have a couple of characteristic features. They are well known for those who have ever bought or at least trying this shoes. This is, firstly, their lightness: manufacturers are constantly working to reduce the weight of new models. Secondly, this is a feeling of readiness for the jump. And then the flight. It is characteristic, first of all, for cross-country and training models, and is explained by the reinforced depreciation of the sole.

And all this is very symbolic, if you know the history of asics. The company founded the Japanese Ciichiro Onitsuk, shortly after World War II. It is said that he was inspired by the idea to cheer up his compatriots, especially the youth. Actually, the basis of the philosophical concept was the call - to educate the youth, putting her interest and love for sport.

Initially, the company was called Onitsuka Tiger. The most popular sneakers were with the image of a tiger. It is this animal, as an impersonation of strength and fast movements, has become a "face" of the brand for a long time. And in combination with the surname of the founder - also the name of the company.

Inheritance from that tiger himself remained recognizable detail. She and today can be seen on any pair of Sneakers Asix. These are four crossed lines. A hint of tiger strips was, in fact, due to the practical necessity. Leather strips provided a foot support that has already made new Japanese sneakers with sensation. And the more successful was the choice of these strips as a logo.

In general, on the example of the development of the company more than once, the love of the Japanese to nature and the whole living manifest. For example, sneakers were produced with a pattern of the sole, in which the outlines of the octopus were clearly guessed. And the idea of \u200b\u200bthe popular model Kayano was born in the designer's head, when he looked at the beetle crawling on the grass.

In a word, the idea of \u200b\u200bspirituality was present in all design solutions onitsuka. Connecting with the original concept - to captivate young people in sports - she gave her a new impetus to development. "In a healthy body, healthy mind" - so expressed tireless Japanese a call. And at the end of the seventies, the company became the abbreviation from the letters of this saying on Latin - Asics.

All speed and achievements

Olympic Lasse champion Virerene with sneakers in hand. In 1976, this picture was in all newspapers. Finnish runner rejoiced his victory and showed shoes to fans, which helped him at the distance. This is perhaps the most famous photo of Asix's sneakers. And it provided the brand world glory. And great success. And how otherwise, if this shoes recommend the champions?

Today, ASICS sneakers are not only professional athletes. But sporting achievements, even if you, sometimes an amateur level, are available to everyone. For this, there was a lot of done technologists of the company. Let's just say a little about the most important features.

Gel filling soles.

For better depreciation, the tabs with the ASICS gel are placed in socks and heels of sneakers. The load on the legs and the spine becomes less, as the risk of injury to the joints. Such a sole is well absorbed blows. Especially in a pair with a special shock-absorbing insole.

The structure of the sole, which allows you to distribute the load evenly.

Special support for foot is achieved due to shoe pads and asymmetric lacing. The heel is supported by an exoscilelet back.

The top of the shoes is made of waterproof fabric with a membrane, which allows you to train in any weather.

The effect of "magic soles": ventilation, thanks to which the shoes becomes easier and the air exchange is improved.

Special materials for the manifestation of "strong" qualities of a certain model. For example, rubber, characterized by enhanced clutch with a wet surface. Or finishing sneakers "naked skin". This name received a protective synthetic material, often used in the manufacture of training models.

How to pick up

It is confused for minutes of forty among the shelves of a sports shop - so-so entertainment. But it happens inevitably if a person does not know what it is necessary for him. And the most difficult thing in this regard has to those who are just going to do sports. What exactly will it be? Fitness, football, tennis, running? Go for sneakers only when you already know the answer.

For those who preferring other physical exertion, ASICS has a lot of options. But, again, the circle should be narrowed. Running on asphalt, on the ground, off-road - all these classes require the choice of sneakers with different soles. The length of the distance also matters.

The stop type of foot is another thing that it is better to find out to a hike to the store. In a nutshell, pronation is the position of your foot while driving. Most often, the usual sheet of paper is used for its definition. Put it on a flat surface. Wet the foot and step on paper. Now look at the remaining trace and compare it with a pattern.

The first image is an illustration of a neutral pronation, the second - excess and third - hypoponation. For each type, certain characteristics of sports shoes are important. For example, an additional amortization of the sole is not required to the neutral prosculation run. For a runner with hypopronation, it, on the contrary, is important. The athlete with excess proscience needs special support for the foot.

Of course, without having experience, it is difficult to choose the running shoes yourself. But it will easily make a sales assistant if you inform him all the parameters listed above. At the same time, ask him to explain exactly which characteristics meet your requirements. Most likely, the next time you can already choose sneakers without assistance.

Sizes of ASICS sneakers

So, you definitely decided on the purpose of buying and ready to choose a model. But what to do if only European size is indicated on the box? It is not worth using the dimensional grid of other manufacturers. They differ from different brands. In addition, for female and male models, the values \u200b\u200bare also somewhat divergent.

It is best to get acquainted with the size of a specific brand, in this case Asiks. You will see that the Russian sizes differ markedly from American and European. That is why information about their compliance with each other is collected in a special table.

Especially relevant this information becomes if you choose sneakers in the online store. Just because of the danger of mistaken with the size, many avoid online shopping. Just carefully check your size with European to choose suitable shoes.

If there are still doubts, you can measure the length of the foot - from the thumb to the heel. Consultants of the online store will be prompted, a couple of alleged sizes suits you or not.

Asics divides its sneakers into several categories that we will tell a little later. In almost all of these sneakers, the same components are used for depreciation, the main component of which is a special gel (GEL). This is a magnificent material that can absorb energy and respond to move.

Shock-absorbing sneakers

At some point, three leading models of this category were created, named Stratus, and. These are the names of the clouds, and no one secret, why such names received running sneakers. All ASICS shock-absorbing sneakers are so soft and responsive, that you are like running around the clouds. Recently, the Stratus model is replaced by in a series for beginner runners.

Recently, ASICS divided the shock absorbing line into two subgroups: "road" and "speed".
Training - These are traditional ASICS running models, with a familiar design and depreciation. They are designed for serious running training and overcoming large distances.
High-speed - new line of sneakers; They are easier by weight and design (less details), more maneuverable and responsive. They are for those who are looking for sneakers - Universal: In these, you can run in the hall, on the treadmill, and from there to go to the track; And they look nicely with jeans.

Crying - Training for asphalt

These are premium sneakers for regular training designed for a large "mileage" .

ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 21

ASICS Gel Cumulus 21

ASICS GEL PURSUE 3

Pursue sneakers line - model for beginner runners in this category. They have good depreciation thanks to the interpochwash Fluidride and the inserts of GEL in the heel and sock area, as well as stability that helps the newcomer's runner to keep the feet in the right position, despite fatigue.

ASICS GEL PULSE 10

The ASICS Pulse line is a basic level of shock-absorbing sneakers for neutral pronation. Perfect for athletes increasing their workouts. Very good quality at an affordable price!

ASICS GEL CONTEND 5

These are running shoes for small runs, designed for beginners of athletes who can use this shoes for running and other active activities. These sneakers are really better to use for short distances, but they can be very valuable for people who are looking for good quality running sneakers, durable for acceptable money.
It is also attractive that the Contend model is also available for children, so you can play the sport with the whole family!

All models of the GEL-CONTEND series

Shock absorbing - high-speed

In this category you will find sneakers suitable for testing speed in training, or for competitions. They are easier than their "road" fellow, and their depreciation system focuses rather on returning energy than on the absorption of the shock load.

ASICS DYNAFLYTE 2.

- The first model in mass production using FlyTefoam, the ASICS branded foam. During the test, we really liked these sneakers, and we recommended their athletes - for the magical combination of ease and excellent depreciation. This is the second version, with an improved planting of the vertex by applying a softer high-tech grid.

ASICS RoadHawk FF.

New - light, comfortable and responsive, they are suitable for regular workouts and rates for speed. The price is reasonable. If you need universal sneakers, lungs and seamless - take them without thinking.

ASICS AMPLICA.

Asics AMPLICA is light, responsive and accessible training sneakers that can be used for daily non-long runs. This is a budget model, so do not expect excesses from it. A first-class workhorse for beginners - this is how it can be described.

Cushioning with foot support

This is from weak to moderate. Here two subgroups are distinguished similarly.

Deprecizing Support - Training for Asphalt

The models of this group have one general property: support for the foot on Duo Max technology, which ensures the stability of the foot arch. This is a great help of athletes whose footsteen need additional support due to excessive pronation. Here Asics uses a slightly solid material for interpochs: it is located under the foot arch and protects the inside of the foot from excessive mobility and "false".

The main difference between the models - in some used Duomax support system, and in others - Dynamic Duomax. The DYNAMIC DUOMAX system has an additional layer of Fluidride foam at the top of the supporting insert: it gives more smooth flow from the heel on the sock and reduces the total weight of the sneakers. All sneakers of this category have a height difference between the sock and the heel of 10 mm, except with the drop in 13 mm, designed to reduce the tension in the achille tendon.

ASICS GEL KAYANO 26

The leader of the ASICS stabilizing line over the years. Large gel tabs in the heel and sock significantly absorb the blow, which is especially noticeable at the runners with a heavy gait. The new top of the fluidfit is comfortable sits, repeating the shape of the foot, and the intermediate fluidride in combination with the DYNAMIC DUOMAX support system provides a smooth, unobstructed ride from the heel on the sock.

ASICS GT-3000 5

- Leading in the GT line. If Kayano focuses on the depreciation and the structure of the movement, then the main in the GT series is support for the foot. The GT-3000 uses shock-absorbing gel tabs and in the heel, and in and sock, and the intermediate is made of Fluidride, the ASICS branded foam.

ASICS GT 2000 7

Very similar to GT-3000, but without Fluidride foam in betweenmetry. - An excellent choice for those runners, who needs moderate foot support - with a DYNAMIC DUOMAX support system, which includes the inner dual density layer, and excellent depreciation due to gel tabs in the heel and sock. This is the "highlight" supporting ASICS technologies, besides, at an attractive price.

ASICS GT-1000 7

This is the "younger brother" (or "sister") in the GT family. All members of our team athletes testers praise, who had the pleasure of experience her. For a reasonable price, sneakers offer a high level of stability (thanks to the Duomax system and an elastic interpochival from the SPEVA foam). The 7th version combines supporting top and sustainable foundation. Feels like it became a little easier, but the support for which the athletes is calculated remains at the same level.

ASICS GEL FUNDATION 13

Sneakers are suitable for the most severe and large athletes, as well as for overproters and those who use a non-standard orthopedism. Excellent support almost throughout the inner part of the foot and very wide, breathable top.

Depricant with support - high-speed

Similar to the categories of depreciation are sneakers for testing speed and competitions, only with additional stability.

ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 24

A successful combination of foot support and running functionality, thanks to the "jumper" of the interpochova Flytefoam and upgraded top. Not too catchy, but confident hit, "dark horse" asics.

Competitions and triathlon

Multi-kilometer training - always preparations for those or other competitions. Whether the track is 5 km, the Olympic triathlon, or the race "Iron Man" - in any case, you were diligently prepared, and you need a decent "instrument" to implement our opportunities in such an important day.

Sneakers for racing are usually the easiest, with a sole without a height and a comfortable, "breathable" riding, in which you can run on a boss foot. This is what ASICS offers in this category.

ASICS GEL-DS RACER 11

Racing version of the model GEL-DS Trainer. Sneakers accurately correspond to the name: light, for distances from 5 km to the half-marathon, they will also suit the excessive athletes, as they are equipped with a Duomax support system. Weight model less than 200 g.

ASICS GEL-451

New 2018, which comes to replace "Mattula Veterans". New, lightweight, fast, technological. Noticed BOA lacing? Yes, the friendship of Asics and Denver Colorado (BOA Lace Developer) does not pass in vain. And the colors of sneakers? This is generally becoming a trend of 2018 - both sneakers are made in the same color range, but there are different thoughts and heel for each sneakers.

ASICS Noosa FF 2

The model with a very catchy appearance, has properties adapted to the specifics of the triathlon, namely: the top, calculated on the boss foot, elastic shoelaces and a special loop on the back for rapid pereobluch during the transition to the next racing stage.

Exclusive and special models

These sneakers are designed for runners who want to try the latest new items of cross-country technologies. Some of these sneakers according to properties can be attributed to other categories, but we preferred to specify them in a separate group. Undoubtedly good in run, they, however, are more likely to see the bright demonstration of the latest achievements in the manufacture of materials and design.

Some athletes disseminately consider them "just fashionable", but in fact, each new model collects some number of fans, and on the basis of their reviews ASICS plans to use certain technologies in the future production of sneakers of other categories.
Prices of such sneakers are usually higher than the usual market; But the economical buyer is not their target group.

ASICS GEL KINSEI 6

The conceptual ASICS model for the first time came out 6 years ago and attracted everyone's attention to its causing price and style. However, she won some popularity, and now it turns out in the next version for the sixth year in a row. Seamless top, autonomous backdrop and content of the latest foams ASICs give them a truly velvety move.

ASICS GEL QUANTUM 360 2 KNIT

The model was named for the fact that the Gel Insert was laid by 360 degrees along the sole. You just think about it, gel around the perimeter! Appearing 3 years ago as a conceptual model, now Quantum 360 takes a worthy place in the ASICS running line. In these sneakers, not only to run, but also to walk in everyday life.
Special, improved TRUSSTIC torsion system guarantees stability and stability in the running process, and the top provides optimal landing and air permeability.

ASICS Gel Kenun.

Asics Gel Kenun - Fashion icon and style in running. It is progressing for several years, the sock from the standard breathable mesh to the knitted top of Knit is particularly changing. Kenun is striving to combine the best in sports and sports and suitable not only for running, hall, joint training, etc., but also to just go to the street.

ASICS FUZEX LYTE 2

The latest novelty from ASICS, a combination of good depreciation and low weight. The model name is explained by the fact that the intermediates contains an alloy (FUSE) of the depreciation gel gel and foam, thanks to which the sneakers are well holding the form along the entire length.

Technologies used in ASICS running sneakers

These are not all technologies, but the main of them are interested to know

SPEVA - Lightweight EVA foam for the production of interpoch. Applies the interpochova elasticity (the ability to return the previous form) and prevents its wear. ASICS uses SPEVA in almost all models.

Solyte. - Even lightering material between the traditional EVA and SPEVA. It has high depreciation and wear resistance.

Flyte Foam - The newest ASICS technology has been introduced in 2016. This is an advanced foam, 55% is lighter than traditionally used in production, as well as possessing a special "jumper"

Fluidride - A new branch of the evolution of international technologies from ASICS. Fluidride is a combination of the rapid reduction of shape and excellent depreciation with very low weight and increased strength. This material is mainly used in the newest, high-class models of categories "depreciation" and "depreciable with a rigid structure".

Fluidaxis - anatomically verified, deep grooves for flexibility; Calculated in accordance with the structure of human foot ligaments. This newest design allows the sneakers to recognize, adjust and accurately respond to the load and change the position of the athlete at each moment of the running cycle - from landing to the separation of the sock.

Duomax - support system; Two-layer intermediate design to enhance the support of the foot and stability. It is used in economy class models of category "depreciable with a rigid structure".

Since childhood, my shoes were ASICS sneakers of various models and categories, and everything satisfied me: convenience, price, practicality. Some models for everyday socks, others - for training. But recently, I did not give peace with one question: "And how good Nike's running sneakers are, and will they become a replacement of Asics?" In order to answer this question, I collected the reviews of professional athletes, evaluating the applicability of them in action and in various conditions. Taking into account the information collected and my personal experience, a certain comparative analysis was formed with which I suggest you to get acquainted.

So what is better: nike or asics? Both manufacturers are world famous, they own huge market lobes. The technologies developed for a long time are thoroughly tested by athletes and scientists, and are being introduced into new models of sneakers, which in turn are also exposed to a comprehensive verification. Previously, I did not think about choosing the sneakers, the type of pronation, the rise of the foot. I bought what I liked. And only over time could understand: they are suitable for me or not. In my experience I can say that the main criteria when choosing sneakers are:

1) Pronation type. Three types of pronation distinguish: redundant pronation (hyperpronation - stop falls inside), neutral pronation (stop is placed in the middle) and hypopronation (the foot is placed on the outer part). You can independently determine your type, it is enough to look at the sole of your old sneakers. If she erased from the inside - you have hyperpronment, evenly throughout the surface - neutral pronation, from the outside - hypopronation. There are certain models of sneakers for each type of pronation. A distinctive feature of the beam sneakers for people with hyperpronation Nike is a Dymamic Support technology, ASICS - DUOMAX or DYNAMIC DUOMAX to support the foot and increasing stability.

2) the weight of the athlete. If the weight is over 75 kilograms, it is necessary to select sneakers from the "Depreciation" or "Stability" category, otherwise they will be pushed, which will lead to knees and spine injuries. There are models of sneakers from the category "Competition", but they are not recommended "heavy" athletes (there will be an excellent option Nike Air Zoom Pegasus and Asics Gel-Kayano).

3) the surface on which you run. Separate for three types: asphalt, soil, hall. For the audience, almost any models will be suitable, even the weight is not so important, but there will be particularly comfortable sneakers from the category "Natural Run" (for example Nike Free or Asics Gel-33). For the soil, sneakers are needed from the "off-road" category with more aggressive and dense soles (for example Nike Wild Trail or Asics Gel-Tambora). And for asphalt, I would recommend softer sneakers, with increased depreciation.

Let's proceed to comparison.

The first criterion in comparison will be the price. In both brands, running sneakers are divided into categories, such as: depreciation, stability, natural jogging, competition, off-road. In the table, I pointed out the main representatives of a particular category and price (* Recommended retail price with official sites of manufacturers for 2015).

As can be seen from the table, the cost of ASICS exceeds its analogues in Nike in almost all categories.

The second criterion of comparison. Consider two models of sneakers of both brands from one category and approximately equal value. We will compare ASICS GEL - PULSE 6 and Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 31.

Technologies	Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 31	ASICS GEL - PULSE 6
Weight	312 gr	317 gr.
Sole	Inserting Nike Zoom in the heel area for responsive depreciation; Cushlon foam along the entire length of the intermediate sole creates a sense of soft and elastic depreciation; Flywire for directional support for lifting foot and reliable fixation. Flywire technology consists of thin nylon fibers, ultra-easy, but incredibly durable, which provide support without excess weight;	Asics gel in the sock and heel - reduces the load on the heel, knees, spine SPEVA - medium sole material, contributes to the speedy restoration after compression and reduces the probability of the breakdown of the intermediate sole. Ahar + - rubber of increased wear resistance. Guidance Line is a full-sized guide line - the sole is divided in such a way that it produces the perfect pressure trajectory on the foot. Trustic System is a cast element located under the central part of the sole. Provides stability, ease and prevents the foot twisting.
Top	From a light mesh with seamless layers, adjacent to the foot in places where it is necessary.	Normal ventilated grid
Insole	Relief removable insole repeats the shape of the foot for the individual landing and tangible support.	Removable from foam rubber
Safety	Reflective inserts	Reflective inserts

Judging by the table, the sneakers are technological and should be an excellent choice for training. If you choose between Nike Air Zoom PEGASUS 31 and ASICS GEL - PULSE 6 - without thinking to take Nike. These are some level sneakers.

Third comparison criterion. Reviews. Both models are perfectly suitable for short runs and long-term workout. But according to many athletes, Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 31 largely exceeds PULSE 6. Advantages: Best amortization, boarding foot and support during running. No wonder my heads itself chooses these sneakers! For athletes with great weight, it will be the perfect choice for competitions.

Summarize. ASICS sneakers are currently more expensive, inferior in depreciation and convenience (almost all models). Yes, of course, both brands are beautiful and technological. There are pluses and cons, for example asics more wear-resistant and have more models in their manufactured ruler. Asics also have a lot of budget models that are not inferior to Nike, but in this article I reviewed only sneakers that really deserve attention. The choice is yours.

1. Buy sneakers only in specialized stores, where there are competent sellers that will help you choose your shoes for your type of pronation and need.

Good all the day, today we will go to jog!

Let's start with the fact that not any sports shoes for this will suit. Sneakers, for example, do not suit, just as sneakers for basketball, tennis, walking, etc. are not suitable. Each sport implies a specific burden, and for an unprepared athlete, it is most importantly competently compensated for not to get injured.

There are shoes designed specifically for running - running sneakers and spikes, they reduce the risk of injury and help achieve good results. We will not talk about chips in this article, they will not have their own orientation and for beginner runners are not suitable, consider sneakers.

There are several common features for running sneakers:

1) Running sneakers (with the exception of some special models) necessarily have depreciation. It must be in the heel part of the sole, also happens in the sock. All manufacturers of high-quality running shoes indicate the presence and position of depreciation inserts.

2) the sole and the top of the sneakers must be flexible and soft in its front.

3) There are inserts from resistant rubber on the sole. Most often, they are located in the heel part and from the outer side of the sneakers, which accounts for the main load.

4) Sneakers for running are never made of leather or other poorly breathable materials.

5) Rigid vertex elements The sneakers are allowed only in the heel part. But they should not be in contact with the foot, rub and put pressure on Achillovo tendon.

6) The lacing ideally should be located on the sneakers asymmetric, closer to the inner part of the foot.

7) Better if the lace loops are not combined with a single hard strip. They should be able to have some displacement so that sneakers can be tightly tightened. However, it does not have to be so.

8) The insole must be removable so that it can be replaced by orthopedic.

9) The weight of the pair of sneakers should not exceed 400 grams.

But that's not all. The fact that sneakers are in principle are suitable for running, does not mean that they are good for you. There are several factors that should be considered.

Paul athlete

Male and female sneakers differ not only by the color range. The feet of a woman is more demanding to shoes, so additional technologies and other materials can be used in it. The main differences of women's sneakers:

1) The proportions of the female leg on average differ from the proportions of men, and therefore the shoe is different. Women's pad narrower

2) The heel of female sneakers has an additional height, which reduces the likelihood of damage to Achilles tendon

3) Women weigh less men and therefore depreciation of female sneakers are softer than male

An exception to these rules is, as a rule, competitive shoes that do not have any serious design solutions and technologies, however, not suitable for long-term training.

Pronation, supination and the height of the foot

If you are not familiar with these concepts, you can read about the article pronation and supination. Here, I want to note that when choosing sneakers, the degree of Pronation and the height of your foot arch has one of the decisive values \u200b\u200b- this parameter directly affects the likelihood of injury. People with excessive pronation and low arch should choose sneakers with a supinator (protection against redundant pronation), it will increase the depreciation and save your knees. While the hypoprontators to wear them completely contraindicated - the likelihood of turning the leg increases.

Wide and narrow stop, shoe size

The width of the block, mainly depends on the manufacturer's company. For example, Asix traditionally, the block is quite narrow, Saikoni and Brooks are wide, and Mizuto is a narrow heel and wide in the sock. During the fitting of the sneakers, pay attention to how they sit on the leg - sneakers should fit tightly to the leg, but at the same time they will not crush anywhere. Always cord sneakers starting from the lower loops to sit on your foot as much as possible.

In size, shoes need to be chosen so that the thumb does not reach the sneakers to the sneaker at least 3 millimeters. This is due to the fact that when the stop runs the stop increases in the amount and if you have taken sneakers exactly in size, it may be damaged when running may be damaged. For the same reason, the sneakers are better to measure in the evening when the stop increases from daylight load. For fitting it is worth putting on your running socks and have orthopedic insoles with you, if you use them.

Some types of sneakers are made small. Most often it is competitive shoes.

Training Type and Weight Athlete

The pattern here is simple, the more your weight, longer distances and worse the training of your muscles and ligaments, the more desirable depreciation and support. What exactly (in which parts of the sneaker) depends on the structure of your foot, biomechanics and running techniques.

The height difference of the sole from the heel to the sock and the running technique

The value of the difference is selected depending on the vehicle formulation technique when running. Three types of running are usually distinguished: the heel is on the heel and the formulation of the middle or front of the foot. When running on the heel, it is done above and, usually, a decent depreciation is in the heel to reduce the risk of knee injury to a minimum. When running to the middle or front of the foot, the sole is made more flat, and the depreciation is located mostly in front.

Also, as it was written above, a higher heel reduces the risk of injury to Achille tendon.

It is believed that the difference can affect the technique of your run and change it. We treat such an approval skeptically. The difference can help a little or bother you to run your technique, but never interference will not be so strong that the technique will change.

Summer and competitive sneakers are made easy and breathable, they are easily wedged. Winter and autumn-spring sneakers are made of more dense materials that blobs poorly and better keep warm.

Contrary to the hopes of many people, there are no sneakers that are well ventilated and not wedged. Even the fabric Gortex, designed to solve this problem, not always successfully copes with it.

Coating

From the coating on which we run, first of all, the sole of the sneakers. For running along the treadmills, asphalt and other solid smooth surfaces are suitable smooth soft sole. For soil tracks and similar softer soils, the sole is taken more rigid and the protector becomes deeper to improve the return. Running through the forest and in bad weather requires even larger tread, and sometimes iron spikes, so as not to slide on the trunks of the fallen trees, ice, etc. Also, these soles are made even more rigid to protect the athlete's leg from all sorts of sharp stones and corpo.

In addition to the sole, side support is often made in shoes for off-road, protecting the leg from dislocation, and a more dense mesh is placed, which is harder to damage.

The difference of brands is observed not only in the pads. Each brand technology also has its own and, although they are all the meaning of each other, they still have differences. So Asiks uses gel, sikeconium and Brooks, foam, and Mizuno - plastic plate. All of them perform the same function, but behave a little differently, so it is better to try several options and choose the most comfortable.

Also, some brands have their own orientation. For example, Salomon is focused mainly on off-road.

Most of the considered characteristics can and need to be determined independently, however, the degree of pronation and flatopyopy, as well as the nuances of the technique it is better to specify using special equipment. This can be done by passing
