Information People Want To Know Concerning The Latest Running Shoes

Running is one of America's fastest growing sports. With this boom in popularity has come an explosion in the verity of gear available. While this panoply of gear is great for the seasoned veteran, people who are new to the sport can easily become confused. This is particularly true when it comes to the latest running shoes. This article will explain what you need to look for to make sure that you get the best shoe for your particular needs. Footwear for this sport can be divided into four different groups: cushioned, stability, motion control, and minimalist. The cushioned type have the most cushioning and the softest underfoot feel and offer minimal arch support.

Gel, foam, or other lightweight materials are used as cushioning materials. This model is best for heavier runners, or people who underpronate and/or have high archers. Normal pronators can also benefit from this model. Popular model of cushioned shoe include: New Balance 730, Cheap Nike Running shoes Australia, and Saucony Triumph 8.The next category, the stability model, differs in that they offer more arch support and that they have slightly less cushioning. This model best for smaller to medium runners who also have mild to moderate overpronation and low to normal arches. Examples of this type include: Mizuno Wave Alchemy 2, Brooks Adrenaline, and Asics 2160.

Another category is the motional control category. These provide the most arch support to help control overpronation. In general, runners with low archers and maximum overpronation will benefit from this model. Examples in the motion control category include: Asics Gel Foundation 9, Brooks Beast 8, and Saucony Progrid Stabil CS.Recently, minimalist footwear has become very popular. The minimalist type offers very little in the way of arch support or cushioning and are designed to let the feet work as if the wearer were running barefoot. The idea behind this category is that, by allowing feet to work harder and move more naturally, they become stronger and runners can run faster and become less injury prone. Popular forms of this category include the Vibram Five Finger, Nike Free Run, and Newton Running Gravity. Studies are still being done to determine whether or not this footwear really protect runners from injury.

So how do you know which of the latest running shoes is right for you? First you must determine what type of pronation you have. If your feet roll in excessively at the ankle as you walk you overpronate and probably need stability or motional control models. If your feet tend to roll out as you walk, you underpronate and would probably benefit from cushioned shoes. This is also true for people with normal pronation. People of all pronation types can try minimalist shoes, but it is suggested that you start off slowly to give your body time to adjust to the impact forces.

Many specialty stores have experts who can do fittings to determine which type of the latest running shoes best meet your needs. As the fitting proceeds, the expert will look at your foot strike pattern, measure your arches, and determine what type of pronation you have. This information will then be used to determine what type of shoe you should use.
