Anatomy of a sneaker
For people who love sports, sneakers are an irreplaceable thing. In them, the leg feels calm and comfortable. These shoes are specially designed for long stresses. To make your walks easy and enjoyable, the walking shoe adjusts to the anatomy of your feet.

Before buying a sneaker, you should always check the sock first - it should be soft. With a firm toe, rubbing of your feet and calluses are inevitable. The upper fabric is usually lightweight, synthetic to allow the foot to breathe. The bottom is more firm, to keep the leg in the correct position and prevent dislocations and careless steps.

The instep support plays an important role in the anatomy of walking shoes. This element protects the foot, preventing flat feet. Trying on sneakers, the main criterion for their selection is to make your own comfort in them. If something interferes with your leg or the shoes seem heavy to you, feel free to discard this model, since the instep does not tend to change. Having bought unsuccessful shoes, you can then suffer for years.

The sole of walking shoes must be made of rubber. The best option is a 3-layer outsole for total foot comfort. It cushions and fixes your foot well. The mesh at the top, which is often seen on many models, is a good ventilation method. Such nets are very strong and tight, so they will not tear.

Differences from running shoes
Many people make the mistake of buying running shoes to walk in. After all, these two models are completely different, since the designers make them in accordance with dissimilar physical exercises. The purpose of running shoes is to give the foot free movement. When walking, the fixation of the leg is important, because it is very easy to tuck the leg, just walking at a brisk pace.

When making running shoes, the emphasis is placed on the position of the body. When running, a person leans forward, so in such sneakers the shock absorbers are closer to the toe. It is important to support the heel when walking, as it takes up almost all the load. The walking shoe also contains a silicone gel to prevent curvature of the spine during long walks and to soften accidental bumps.

Walking shoes must be lightweight, while running shoes can be heavier. It is better to choose sneakers with a more flexible sole so that it does not hinder movement. Removable insole - a mandatory rule, you will need to rinse and dry regularly.

Advantages
Walking shoes are a great choice for those who enjoy both easy walking and brisk wellness walking. High-quality models have orthopedic inserts that will help your body and spine to retain energy and not get tired for a long time. Back pain is the first sign of poor quality shoes.

Running shoes never change their size. Stretching, enlargement is not about them. They always retain their shape, even after several years of use. In addition, these sneakers are very durable, they rarely deteriorate and do not leak in the rain. The right walking shoes will last for many years without the need for replacement.

Sneakers are also good because they are suitable for different types of walking. They will provide both a pleasant shopping trip and long wellness walks. Such shoes are indispensable for long hiking excursions, especially in the mountains, where you constantly come across small stones that impede movement.

Walking shoes are mostly versatile. However, there are several criteria by which you need to choose them if you purchase them for a specific purpose. Walking is not limited to walking on the sidewalk, it can be different, so small differences should be taken into account.

For a long walk, as well as if you prefer to walk on asphalt, feel free to purchase lightweight shoes. Heavy sneakers, invisible at first, will certainly make themselves felt after a few kilometers. Models with a wide, segmented sole will provide stability. Sneakers should be soft so that the foot does not get tired of over-fixing.

If long walks are not to your liking, try brisk walking. It can be practiced both in the gym and outdoors. In this case, it is better to opt for flexible and lightweight sneakers that fix the shin. This will prevent unnecessary injury during training. Leather sneakers allow the foot to breathe, which is very important when it heats up, because working with extremely hot feet is not a pleasant pleasure.

But walking on the grass or outside the city requires special strength. Sneakers need to be heavier and more secure. Stones, clods of earth, branches - all this can significantly slow down the progress. Many types of walking shoes have spiked soles that allow you to overcome obstacles with ease. It is also important to take care of the waterproofness of the sole.

Nordic walking is primarily a winter pleasure. Choose sneakers that are comfortable for your foot. The grooved and flexible outsole helps keep you balanced. If you have leg joint problems, purchase additional corrective insoles and shock absorbers in advance. Water resistance is also a major consideration as you will be walking on snow.

How to choose?
The choice of walking shoes should be approached responsibly, since durable and comfortable shoes are everyone's dream. The most important thing is to buy sneakers from trusted manufacturers. Market models bought at a lower price will become a complete disappointment after a month of wearing.

Sneakers should be tried on immediately on the socks. Try to choose the afternoon for shopping - your legs will already slightly increase in size from walking and it will be easier for you to imagine how it will be during training. Any good sneaker for everyday wear and for exercise should not have a pungent smell, as well as traces of glue. Press down on the toe, if the dent holds, don't take these shoes. The sole also needs to be checked, if it is bent and the sneaker has difficulty returning its shape - it will definitely not fit.

When trying on sneakers, never do it on your bare feet, because rarely does anyone wear them without socks. Walk around the store for a few meters, check how comfortable your foot is. If something is even the slightest inconvenient, it is worth moving on to considering another model.
