Sports shoes are one of the most important pieces of equipment worth investing in. The wrong shoes can lead to injuries, while the right shoes can significantly improve your performance.
Know your feet
Before buying shoes, it's important to know your arch type (flat, normal or high) and how you step (pronation, supination or neutral).
Sport-specific shoes
Different types of shoes are recommended for each sport. Running shoes are not suitable for basketball, and vice versa. Here are the most important types:
- Running shoes: Cushioned sole, flexible material
- Indoor shoes: Flat sole, good grip
- Hiking shoes: High ankle, waterproof material
- Training shoes: Versatile, stable sole
When to replace?
Most sports shoes lose their cushioning ability after 500-800 km of running or 6-12 months of regular use. Watch for signs of wear!
