The life of running shoes

In general, using the 80 km running shoes, the soles of the shock absorption cushioning effect is only the first 75% of 160-240 km (related wear and ground conditions), the effect is only 67% of the original in the use of 400 -800 km, the damping effect of less than 60% of the original. It is generally the life of running shoes is about 800 km.

These bare foot motion are the traditional concept of running shoes, but in recent years, a new formulation has drawn increasing concern of people: Some people think that these shoes advertised a comfortable shock may actually be counterproductive - Running shoes most people against the nature of nature, people too dependent on the role of heel ankle, may exacerbate the bad people running habits and musculoskeletal hard way. View is that these people return to natural, barefoot running (barefoot running) - bare foot running to force our bodies to re-run in accordance with human body structure and function. Running barefoot is not really that barefoot running, but running shoes removed in order to emphasize too much influence on the human foot. Given this view, a pursuit of new shoes came into being thin does months, such as the toe Vibram shoes - five separate toes, the shoes without the traditional sense of a solid soles and uppers of the current controversy about running barefoot and did not get a verdict, barefoot running is a more reasonable or right to increase the body burden has not been established scientific basis. But sports shoe company has come up with some compromise this approach - running shoes with light and greatly reduce the vibration part, and strive to thin, flexible.

Nike Free Run series of flats is such a compromise type of shoe, Adidas "feet you wear" concept and the New Balance claims the amount of foot custom (custom-made buy teva) are also on the bare feet in the simulation experiment. To note is that bare feet (or nearly bare foot) run, the human foot hard way and wearing traditional running shoes is very different when, when feet tend to heel with the ground-based and avoid excessive exposure, while the foot protection and damping effects are very weak. This approach generally requires a longer run time to adapt to master, if you choose such a running shoes, then began to adapt it from jogging.
