Fitness sneakers

Buying sneakers is not an easy process. Sometimes it becomes a test of endurance. Among the wide variety of sports shoes, it is very difficult to understand: do we really need this? To avoid undue confusion in front of the counter with sneakers in the store, you should pay attention to a number of features that highlight the shoes that are suitable for fitness.

In the sports goods market, there are professional types of sneakers and casual ones. Of course, if you perform physical activities with a professional approach, with an emphasis on a specific athletic performance, then it makes sense to consider the first category of footwear. And for independent workouts designed to improve your physical and mental well-being, casual sneakers are fine.

Answering the question of what sports shoes should be for fitness, first of all, I would like to outline four important points:

1. Convenience. Since physical activity is already a kind of stress for the whole body, the legs, first of all, should be comfortable.
2. Fixation of the foot. This topic must be given maximum attention, because due to insufficient or poor-quality fixation of the foot in a sneaker, a person can get very unpleasant injuries.
3. Anatomical features of the foot. Despite the fact that fitness classes are gender-neutral, athletic shoe manufacturers take a very responsible approach to the manufacture of men's and women's fitness sneakers. Neglecting this criterion can play a cruel joke with you in the future, jeopardizing the physical condition of your foot.
4. Aesthetics.Of course, the appearance of sneakers cannot leave indifferent both women and men. The path is not the main one, however, it is a very important detail in the selection process.

What to focus on when choosing specific models of fitness sneakers, and what to do with a new pair of athletic shoes further, will be discussed below. Now let's turn to the market variety of sneakers.

Fitness shoe models are divided into groups according to the type of physical activity for which they are intended.

The main differences are:

• solid flex sole;
• mesh ("breathable") material for the surface of the sneaker;
• minimum seams;
• weight - no more than 350 grams.

To be good at strength training, shoes must meet the following criteria:

• grooved sole that securely fixes the foot on the floor;
• the heel is wider than the toe for greater stability;
• tight lacing and snug fit;
• the most dense sole.

If you think that the quality of a sneaker is not important for dance fitness, read the basic properties of this type of shoe:

• split sole (toe and heel);
• bending edge of the toe of the sole;
• rounded "facade";
• ease.

This type of physical activity implies the presence of the following qualities in sneakers:

• thin split sole (as in dance models);
• lack of shock-absorbing inserts;
• the top is made of dense fabric or leatherette;
• the lightest running shoe for fitness.

The model was created in order to keep problem areas in good shape while walking. At the same time, manufacturers often talk about not only a magical effect on the legs, but also on the abdominal muscles and even the cervical vertebrae. Unfortunately, the practical effectiveness of these sneakers has not yet been proven.

The type of physical activity has been determined, the sneaker model has been selected. The only thing left is to decide on the choice of a specific pair of shoes that will suit you.

To become the owner of fashionable, beautiful, expensive, branded fitness sneakers is as easy as shelling pears. But choosing practically your second self, in the face of comfortable and suitable sports shoes, is not an easy task.

In order not to get into a mess and not throw money down the drain, you should take into account a few practical tips:

1. The height of the shoe should match the length of your ankle and cover it completely. This will help prevent sprains, bruises, and other injuries.
2. Cushioning and multi-layer outsole. The more you exercise and the more your weight, the more cushioning the shoe should be. Otherwise, excessive pressure will be exerted on the legs, which will affect their condition and health.
3. The nose of the shoe should be significantly wider than the heel for better traction.
4. It is best if the shoes are lace-up. Humanity has not yet come up with a more reliable means of fixing the foot.
5. Breathable sneaker material. The best option would be a mesh, which should cover the top of the boot in whole or in part, depending on your personal preference.

When choosing sneakers for fitness, be guided by your own taste preferences and anatomical features of the foot.

Since most of the fitness sneakers on the sporting goods market are made from natural or synthetic fabrics, caring for these shoes is quite simple:

1. It is imperative to remove all dirt from the surface of the sneakers after each workout. For shoes made of synthetic fabrics, a sponge soaked in soapy water is suitable. The skin and its substitute should be cleaned with special products. Even fabric sneakers should never be machine washed. This can lead to both deterioration of the surface and deformation of the sole.
2. Soak sneakers should be dried in a warm place, after filling them with lumps of paper or newspaper.

When it comes to purchasing footwear suitable for sports, even amateur ones, I want it to match not only our personal preferences, the peculiarities of the foot structure and the sport itself. There is a desire to buy sneakers from the company that has established itself not just as a brand, but as a quality brand. Consider the ranking of the most popular and therefore the best fitness shoe models.

The improved U4ic outsole, paired with a redesigned forefoot liner, enhances cushioning, comfort and flexibility. This model is universal for both professional runners and home sports enthusiasts.

Key features of the Wave Rider 19 by Mizuno:

• the improved toe spring of the sneaker provides softness and touch of the toe to the surface without much effort;
• Redesigned sockliner provides greater recoil and resilience with every kick;
• The shoe's new surface design features added durability and impact cushioning.

Maximum feeling of elasticity and shock absorption. The Nike Air Max 90 Premium is a super-comfortable women's sports shoe from the renowned Nike brand.

The advantages of this model are obvious after detailed consideration:

• a leather surface with a top layer located in strategic places has good wear resistance;
• Air cushion in the heel of the sneaker designed for exceptional cushioning;
• rubber outsole with "waffle" pattern provides the best traction;
• Rolled edges allow for easy cleaning of the shoe for a sleeker look and finer detail.

This model is suitable directly for fitness in the gym. The back of the shoe has a height of 7 centimeters, which provides high-quality fixation of the foot. The natural textile lining allows the foot to breathe and provides an extra sense of comfort. The surface of the sneaker made of the finest leatherette is also breathable and makes it easy to care for such shoes.

The exercise shoe models listed above have another distinguishing feature. They, thanks to their shock-absorbing, ergonomic and breathable properties, help the amateur to feel like a real professional in the field of sports. Reviews about them are often very flattering, which allows you to make a choice based not only on their appearance, but also on the user experience.

So, for example, the Wave Rider 19 from Mizuno is called the best version of this sneaker model. Girls from 25 to 30 years old note good shock absorption, ease of use, both during jogging and when performing various workouts in the gym.

Nike has been tirelessly confirming its own uniqueness, comfort and quality for many years. The most worthy, among the sports shoes on the market today, are the Nike Air Max 90 Premium sneakers. Reviews about this model have one common line: “They are not only comfortable, but also very stylish, both for indoor fitness and for running.

One of the biggest advantages is that they are non-slip, very resistant to dirt, fit comfortably on the foot and have very good shock absorption "- similar characteristics are described by 75% of European women respondents.

Another brainchild of Nike, pretty much beloved by Russian women, the Nike Studio Trainer is an incredibly light sneaker that fits very comfortably on the foot and has a moderately economical price. The outsole is non-slip, making it easier to work in the gym. Also, our Russian beauties are delighted with the appearance, which in this model is emphatically bright and emotional.
