How to choose sneakers.

Sneakers have migrated from the category of purely sports shoes to the category of universal. Now designers create stylish bows with their help for both women and men. Ladies prefer not only to dress beautifully, but also comfortably, so they mix stylish sneakers on a platform and without with dresses, skirts. Men, despite the peculiarities of the dress code, often complete a bow with sneakers from a stylish shirt and a business jacket with trousers, jeans. The question of how to choose sneakers is relevant for any person, because now there are at least one sneakers in everyone's wardrobe.
The basic rules of choice.
Experts recommend trying on sneakers in the evening. The fact is that the leg can swell during the day, which increases its size. Correctly chosen shoes do not bind the foot, but they are securely fixed on the foot.
The rules will be different depending on what type of sneakers belong to. So, for running, they pick up 1 size larger than usual. But the shoes must fit snugly to the ankle joint, but not create tension and uncomfortable sensations. The choice of sneakers is explained by the fact that when running, the foot can shift depending on the angle of rotation. During ascents and descents, the fingers may rest against the toe, so additional space is needed for their free movement.
The key rules for choosing regular sneakers include:
Comfort. Shoes should be comfortable first of all, because that's what sneakers are designed for.
The right size. Shoes should not hang out on the foot. There should be no discomfort when wearing even for a long time. The appearance of swelling, pain in the fingers or heel are signs of incorrect selection.
Material of manufacture. Sneakers are most often worn in the warm season. It is clear that after a few minutes the leg begins to sweat. Therefore, not only the rules regarding strength, but also air permeability are imposed on the material of manufacture. Sneakers must necessarily breathe, provide the necessary degree of ventilation.
Fixation of the ankle joint. If the sneakers are loose or press on the bone, then in the end it can lead to dislocation, calluses, bruises.
Quality. Of course, sneakers are a universal thing that will be used almost every day. Therefore, they must withstand heavy loads. This parameter is determined by the quality of the manufacturing material, the features of tailoring, the material of the platform manufacturing.
Fitting sneakers is the most important stage. Often purchases from the Internet do not please, because even if the shoes turned out to be beautiful, they are completely uncomfortable. It is better to try on sneakers in the evening or at least after lunch, since the leg naturally swells from walking by this time. Sneakers bought in the morning begin to squeeze in the evening.
The fitting of shoes is carried out in the "field conditions". Sneakers should be functional and comfortable when performing various physical exercises or at least some activity. You need to try to run a little in them, stand on your toes, roll on your heel, sit down. Not always even shoes with orthopedic features are suitable. It's about the anatomical features of a particular person. For example, the fingers may be wide, which makes it difficult to choose the right size, or the lifting height is minimal, so there will be unpleasant sensations when walking for a long time.
What to pay attention to when choosing.
Which sneakers are better? It is impossible to give an unambiguous answer to this question. The anatomical features of the foot, the scope of use of sneakers, the expected style wishes and the like are taken into account. But there are some rules that will help anyone who thinks which sneakers are worth buying.
Size
Any sports shoes, even if they will not be used for their intended purpose, should be somewhat larger in size. Surgeons and orthopedists recommend choosing shoes half a size larger if they will walk on the streets in sneakers, or 1 size larger if they plan to run in them. You can also determine compliance by taking a regular ruler with you to the store. There should be approximately 1 – 1.5 centimeters between the toe of the selected model and the end of the big toe. If there is no ruler, then they resort to the "grandfather's" method: you need to press your fingers tightly to the toe, and put your thumb between the heel and the end of the sneaker. If it fits, there is no compression, then the size fits. If you can't place your finger, you need to look at larger sneakers.
Form
Good sneakers are made in such a way that the foot is comfortable even with many hours of wearing. For most people, the "arch" lift will be optimal. This means that the sneakers exactly fit the notch that is on the foot. At the same time, high-quality shoes have such a feature all the time, that is, even before lacing with a tight fit.
Heel
It is often possible to encounter the fact that calluses appear on the heel when using new shoes. This can occur for a number of reasons: incorrectly selected size or loose, too tight fixation of the heel. You should check in the store whether the material of the manufacture of the torture part of the sneakers is too dense and rigid. It is optimal if there is a soft pillow that will protect against chafing. In addition, the heel itself should not be squeezed, compressed by this part of the shoe. It is optimal if the fixation is reliable, but there are no uncomfortable sensations.
Socks
The fitting of sneakers must be carried out in socks. It's not even a matter of hygiene, but practicality. The fact is that in socks the foot will feel completely different in sneakers. If sneakers are measured on a bare foot, a larger size seems ideal. But, wearing socks, it turns out that this is not the case at all. The toes in the shoes should be comfortable, they should not be fixed in such a way that it was impossible to move them. There must be about 1 centimeter between the toe part and the end of the thumb.
Depreciation of the foot
Which sneakers to buy largely depends on the purposes for which the shoes will be used. If a person is active and is going to use them for running, then it is worth paying attention to the cushioning of the foot and heel. These characteristics are not directly indicated by the manufacturer, but they can be "felt" if you try to run around a shoe store in sneakers. Of course, when choosing and taking into account this characteristic, it is worth paying attention to individual parameters, including the style of running (on socks or on the heel, sprinting or jogging), distances and the like.
Pronation
This characteristic, perhaps, is not taken into account by 90 percent of people when choosing. But it is very important. Pronation is called turning movements of the feet of the legs. This is essentially the amplitude with which a person will move. It is very important to determine how comfortable it will be in shoes at those moments when the foot will move. It is definitely worth trying to slightly "dislocate" the leg first in one side, then in the other. High-quality sneakers should resist, prevent the foot from "flying out" of the shoe. If the sneakers move along the same amplitude as the foot, then you should not use them for sports – there is a risk of dislocating the leg.
Individual features
The body of each person, including the foot, has unique individual characteristics. It is necessary to take this into account when choosing. Do not chase ultramodern women's sneakers if the foot is wide. In this case, the sneakers will be narrow and begin to rub, it will be impossible to move normally in them. It makes sense to contact the men's department of a shoe store. Now manufacturers produce thousands of variants of sneakers in the style of "unisex", so it will not be difficult to choose a beautiful model.
Material of manufacture
Which sneakers are better and how to choose the right model also depends on what material they are made of. So, special requirements are imposed on sports shoes. The fabric should be wear-resistant, fit the leg tightly, provide breathability, and not slip. Basically, you can find sneakers made of the following materials on sale:
Genuine leather. Shoes made of it look quite presentable, has a high price. The leather shows high wear resistance characteristics, it fits the foot tightly, does not give an unpleasant smell. Sneakers that are made of it are easy to wash. There are combined options, for example, when shoes are made of a different material, but with natural leather, the toe, heel, shoelace attachment points and the like are strengthened to provide greater protection.
Artificial leather. According to its characteristics, artificial leather is now almost as good as natural, but it has a low price. The durable structure allows you to sew the basis of sneakers from such a fabric.
Cloth. Fabric sneakers are often found on sale. Special mesh materials made of polyester and nylon are used. In such a fabric base, the leg breathes freely, as ventilation is provided. Sneakers are convenient to wash, as the fabric dries in the sun for a couple of hours.
Of course, other materials of manufacture are also used, for example, lacquer or suede. But sneakers made using non-standard materials can hardly be called functional. Rather, they are suitable for wearing in urban conditions, but not for gym classes or running.
Midsole
Such a sole is called one of the most important parts of sneakers. It is the midsole that provides the stability of the foot, cushioning and other characteristics. The convenience and safety of a person depends on the quality of this part. The materials used are as follows:
Filait. Shoes have a minimum weight. The filait consists of a mixture of rubber and filon. The sole is elastic, plastic, so the filait is used by branded manufacturers.
This material is inexpensive, so, alas, it loses its shape over time. Initially, it is foamy, porous. Provides pleasant cushioning. But after a few weeks, the air begins to get lost, which leads to a deterioration in performance.
Filon. This material is of high quality. The structure is porous, foamy, created from granules. The shoes turn out to be light, almost weightless.
Polyurethane. Also a good material for making an intermediate sole. It is characterized by high strength and density. Sneakers are not too light.
The cost of shoes is determined by the material of the manufacture of the intermediate sole of the outfit with all the others. For running, it is better to choose models from filaite and filon, which are light enough, but wear-resistant.
Main sole
This part of the sole determines the characteristics of the grip of sneakers with the ground or any other surface. A mandatory requirement for it is to ensure good depreciation. If it is not enough, then it will be uncomfortable and even dangerous to walk and run in such shoes, because every pothole on the road or a pebble will be felt. The following materials are used for the production of the main sole:
The fool. This material is created on the basis of rubber, which is blown in production. Gives an excellent level of depreciation. Sometimes manufacturers include duralon inserts, for example, in the toe part for running shoes.
BRS 1000. It is also rubber, which guarantees high durability of the product. The peculiarity is that there are carbon inclusions that give the necessary porosity.
It is used for the production of both casual shoes and designed for sports. The rubber is durable.
Pure rubber without additives. The characteristics are average, since there are no additives that would improve the characteristics of strength or elasticity, porosity. But at the same time, sneakers with a main sole made of rubber have an affordable price.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that wear resistance is largely determined not only by the quality of the sole, but also by how many layers of it are used. But in any case, regardless of how thick the sole is, it should bend.
Shoelaces
The rules for choosing sneakers also depend on such a seemingly insignificant detail as shoelaces. The fact is that the laces can also be of different quality. It is recommended to choose bulky fabric options, as they slip less. Shoelaces made of artificial materials can be untied when walking. Also, attention should be paid to the ends of the laces. Can be used to fasten metal, plastic buckles.
Now various types of lacing are used, which allow you to tighten the shoes strongly or, conversely, loosen it somewhat. There are special lacing made specifically for a certain type of sports shoes.
Which sneakers to choose in size and fullness
There is still no uniform size standardization system among shoe manufacturers. The conditional size 38 can be the length of the sole of one company, and the other – a different one. Therefore, it is worth focusing primarily on the length of the insole. It is recommended to try on your own foot before going to the store or before shopping on the Internet portal. This is how it is done:
Prepare a sheet of cardboard. Put your foot down, circle each foot in turn.
Measure the distance with a ruler from the heel to the tip of the thumb along an even line.
Sometimes the length may not match by several millimeters. When choosing, it is worth focusing on a larger indicator. It is also worth noting that sneakers are likely to stretch by about 35 millimeters when worn.
Russian manufacturers produce shoes only in various sizes. Ordering sneakers from foreign companies, you may encounter a new characteristic – completeness. This parameter is taken into account primarily because there is a problem of obesity.
To indicate the completeness of shoes, a certain classification has been adopted. In particular, the designation F is a shoe for a normal fullness of the foot. The letter G is written on shoes that are suitable for a wide foot, H + – for a very full one. The letter H means that the shoes will be comfortable for a full foot with a protruding knuckle.
How to choose sneakers depending on the manufacturer
How to choose sneakers also depends on the characteristics of a particular brand. Some companies produce shoes purely for sports, while others are focused on the mass market. Doctors recommend choosing different pairs of shoes for permanent wear and sports activities. The implementation of this recommendation will help to preserve the health of the legs. But in any case, if a person cares about his health, it is necessary to choose sneakers, taking into account such moments:
Stiffness and twisting. The higher the first indicator, the more insensitive the foot will be to surface irregularities. The twisting indicator determines the sensations while walking or running – the higher the indicator, the stronger the irregularities are felt. It is recommended to choose sneakers in which both indicators are complementary.
Flexion and stiffness. Flexion determines what kind of cushioning will be provided during activity, the degree of protection of the ankle joint.
When buying, attention should be paid to the place of the fold of the sneaker. It must necessarily be in the same place as the natural bend of the foot when walking or running. In this case, uncomfortable sensations will not occur even with prolonged wearing of shoes.
The availability of a quality certificate from the manufacturer is an important point. This document confirms that the shoes are made of proven and safe materials. Alas, but often Chinese and Turkish replicas, which are made in artisanal industries, are made of ordinary materials that are absolutely not intended for long-term and multifunctional use. The sole also leaves much to be desired, which either does not provide good cushioning, or is too heavy, or simply has an unpleasant smell.
The following brands are considered proven manufacturers of sneakers: Adidas, Nike, Asics, Puma, Reebok, Saucony, New Balance. In particular, the Asics brand supplies the world market with sneakers for athletes and for ordinary people who prefer comfort and convenience. The manufacturer takes into account individual anatomical features, so the choice is huge. Adidas uses a special fabric developed by the company in the production of sneakers, which allows you to achieve the absolute quality of each model. Sneakers from New Balance and Reebok cannot be attributed to sports options, but they are suitable for everyday wear. They are made of various materials, in a classic or unusual design, which will allow anyone to choose the perfect pair. Nike is considered one of the best suppliers of sports shoes. A special cushioning technology is used, which makes the sneakers both comfortable and light. Puma supplies the Russian market with high-quality sneakers with additional functions, in particular, protection of the feet from dislocations during sports.
The choice depends on the season of the year
The comfort of shoes largely depends on the temperature of the air outside and the humidity level. Manufacturers produce both summer sneakers, and for the autumn-spring period, winter.
Summer versions are made of light and breathable fabrics to prevent the appearance of sweat on the legs. But at the same time, such material gets wet quickly. Sneakers for autumn, spring and winter are made of dense materials, not fabric, but leather or artificial leather. They do not get wet so much, and also retain heat well. It is possible that they will have a special lining for additional warming.
Alas, there are no sneakers that would pass air well, but were absolutely waterproof at the same time. Even the gortex fabric, which is advertised as such, does not sufficiently cope with these problems.
The choice of sneakers depends on the type of activity.
If a person chooses sneakers for sports, then it is necessary to take into account what kind of activity it will be. Even sports sneakers created for running or for fitness differ significantly in their characteristics. There is no universal shoe that would be equally well suited for each type of activity.
Running
Running shoes are not a problem to find, since such trekking shoes can be found in the product range of any manufacturer. At the same time, it takes into account where exactly a person will run: in a park, over rough terrain or in a gym on a treadmill. You should pay attention to the following features:
Weight. Sneakers are light, otherwise the legs will get tired quickly.
Materials. To ensure breathability, choose shoes made of soft and breathable fabric materials.
Sole. It should not be too high, but flexible and strong enough. When bending, the sole must necessarily repeat the contours of the foot lift.
Running shoes fit the foot – this is necessary to ensure safety. They also expand slightly in the toe area so that the fingers are comfortable with movement and repetitions. The height goes below the ankle level.
Fitness
Fitness sneakers are also called trainers or cross trainers. You can find them in the assortment of not all companies. The peculiarity of fitness shoes is that they have a stable and durable sole. At the same time, the inner side of the product is significantly strengthened. This is done due to the fact that the foot often moves in different directions during training.
For the most part, fitness sneakers are made of durable fabric with holes for air passage. The models can be called multifunctional, as they are suitable not only for classes in the gym, but also for short runs, tennis, cycling, basketball and volleyball.
Bodybuilding
Bodybuilders sometimes lift weights that exceed their own. Therefore, sneakers should be as strong as possible and withstand this. The outer part of such models is made of genuine leather, which is not prone to cracking. The sole is stable to ensure a reliable grip on the floor surface. However, depreciation is not provided here. The sole must be chosen non-slip, with a high back. The last parameter is needed in order to maximize the use of the muscles of the byrd and legs during classes.
Box
In appearance, boxing sneakers are similar to ordinary running shoes. However, there is one difference – a high boot, thanks to which the athlete's ankle is reliably protected. Shoes fit snugly due to the choice of a certain type of lacing. They are made of genuine leather. The sole is necessarily non-slip. There is a supinator on the insole, the degree of depreciation is average.
Motorsport
Motorsport sneakers are necessarily equipped with a slightly sloping heel. At the same time, the heel level rises to the tendon. This is necessary in order for the backdrop to fit the athlete's heel as tightly as possible. The models have a thin sole that allows you to feel the pedals well when driving a vehicle. They are made of special protective suede, which does not cause discomfort during prolonged wear.
Skateboarding
Sneakers for skateboarding in their appearance are very different from the usual ones. First of all, their sole is made of special rubber with a very thick layer. At the same time, the bottom layer is strongly grooved, which ensures a reliable grip of the shoe with the skateboard board. The upper is made of natural or artificial leather, high-quality suede. Fits the leg tightly.
Football
They are also called boots. They are made of natural material. Boots are immediately noticeable, as the sole to them is unusual. This is cast rubber, which has long and powerful spikes. The spout of the shoe is compacted to ensure an excellent ball delivery, but at the same time so that the fingers of the football player are not injured. The lacing is chosen very tight to prevent slipping.
Basketball and volleyball
The foot of a person playing these sports is mobile. Interesting sneakers with a very massive sole are produced for these athletes. This is necessary in order to prevent dislocation of the ankle joint – a frequent injury in this sport. By weight, a pair of sneakers is 600 grams, while providing excellent cushioning.
Sneaker Care
Leather and suede models are washed by hand using special store-bought products or homemade. Modern machines often have modes specifically for washing sneakers. If there is no such thing, then you can choose a delicate one without pressing on the technique. The temperature during washing should be 30 degrees, the exposure time is half an hour. Fabric models are washed with a stain remover, which will help get rid of dirt on the sole.
Choosing sneakers is a difficult event, because there are dozens of factors to consider. But, after spending time, you can get the perfect shoes that will last for many years and will delight with the look and functionality.
