Are you an outdoor sports enthusiast, do you want to start running or is running already one of your biggest vices? Then you've got to see our top 5 of the best running trainers of the moment!
However, before we introduce you to the 5 New Balance models that are dominating running at the moment, let's first take a few steps to help you choose the best running trainers for you.
Come along with us!
Running trainers: which ones are right for you?
So, when it comes to choosing your running trainers, there are a few questions you should ask yourself and answer consciously and honestly. Among them, we'd like to highlight the following:
1. What kind of athlete are you?
First of all, you need to assess yourself and define the type of athlete you are.
Although this can be a difficult question to answer, you should analyse and identify all your physical characteristics as well as your experience in the running world.
So, if you're just starting out as an athlete, it's certain that you won't be able to opt for the same trainers that professional athletes use. What's more, if you land on your heels while running, you shouldn't choose minimalist or natural running shoes, as the risk of injury to your joints, ankles and knees increases significantly.
2. Where are you going to run?
On the other hand, you should also realise the type of surface you'll be running on. This is because, depending on the type of surface, there is a wide variety of trainers, each one suitable for both your level of athlete and the type of surface you'll be running on.
For example, shoes for running on roads and hard surfaces have a very thin sole pattern to ensure good traction on a flat surface and to allow water to flow out, working in a similar way to car tyres.
On the other hand, for running on wooden tracks, the ideal is to use outsoles with deep lugs, similar to motocross tyres.
Still, if you like combining roads and wooden tracks, the best running shoes for you are certainly cross-city trainers.
3. What is your goal?
You also need to define what you want your running trainers for:
For long runs, long-distance runs or short runs?
For frequent use, more precisely on a daily basis, or for long runs?
4. What's your gait like?
So, your type of gait is also a point you need to take into account when choosing your running shoes.
This is because there are three different ways in which your feet land on the ground during a run:
Pronation
The normal movement of the foot during walking and running.
Overpronation
In this case, the ankle rotates too far downwards and inwards with each step. As a result, the first and biggest toe and the second toe put all the necessary pressure and the foot twists even more with each step.
Supination
Supination is when the foot tilts to the outside during walking and running. The foot naturally supinates when the heel first leaves the ground, providing leverage to help rotate the toes.
