The lifespan of running shoes How many years can running shoes be worn?

Generally speaking, the price of better running shoes is relatively high, so most people pay great attention to the maintenance of running shoes after purchasing them. Each pair of shoes has its own lifespan, so what is the lifespan of running shoes? How many years can running shoes be worn?

Generally speaking, after a pair of running shoes reaches 80 kilometers, the shock absorption and cushioning effect of the sole is only 75% of the initial one; and when it reaches about 200 kilometers, the shock absorption and cushioning effect is only about 65% of the initial one; when the running distance reaches 400-800 kilometers, the shock absorption and cushioning effect may be less than 60%. Similarly, the life of the shoes is also related to the type of shoes. For example, lightweight shoes or competition shoes will not be as durable as air cushion shoes. Whether running is expensive or not is also closely related to each person's running movements. If you like to run on the road, you may wear out the rubber on the heel in a week or two. The sole of the running shoe is the most durable part, so it is not the most representative indicator of the life of the shoe. The middle part of the sole is the real weight-bearing part of the shoe. When this part reaches the "fatigue" state, we can conclude that the shoe has passed its best state. Generally speaking, if the running shoes begin to become stiff, flat and lack flexibility, it is a precursor to replacing them. If you feel like you are wearing a pair of slippers when running, you should change them immediately for the safety of your feet to avoid spraining your ankle.

If you take good care of your shoes, do less intense exercise, and wear them for at least three years. You can't just stick to one pair of shoes. Generally, they won't break. AIR MAX is relatively hard. After wearing for a long time, there will be gaps inside, and it will squeak when you walk. If it breaks, you can repair it or replace it. It depends on your exercise volume. The life of a pair of shoes is 1000-1500 kilometers. If you exercise a lot, you should replace it with a new pair every 1000 kilometers. Even the best running shoes will have reduced shock absorption, cushioning and balance performance over time. Generally speaking, the degree of damage to the shoes is the most intuitive factor in judging the life of running shoes. When running shoes are worn out, the soles will be worn and the uppers will be damaged. The midsole is the key to determining the quality of a pair of sports running shoes. The outsole contacts the ground, and the layer between the outsole and the shoe body is the midsole, which is about 1-2 cm thick and is responsible for buffering ground vibrations. The most important shock absorption and support of a pair of running shoes are determined by the midsole. Even if the outsole or upper is intact, the shoes have lost their original functions and must be replaced.

Running shoes are not suitable for playing basketball, because the assist performance of running shoes and basketball shoes is different. Basketball shoes are a highly competitive confrontational sport, so the performance requirements for basketball shoes are relatively high. Basketball shoes are designed to protect the feet from constantly turning and grabbing rebounds when playing. Although running shoes have good performance, their strength is still not as professional as that of basketball shoes, so it is not recommended to use running shoes to play basketball. Basketball shoes are more protective, and when designing basketball shoes, the fierce confrontation of basketball is taken into consideration, and some adjustments will be made to the parameters of Xie, such as the air pressure of the air cushion. This design can improve the stability of the shoes. Basketball shoes provide protection, the sole is generally larger, the stability is good, and the thick upper can provide sufficient support, but at the same time it sacrifices some breathability. The scientific bottom pattern can provide good grip. In addition, the carbon plate or TPU structure of the midsole can ensure that the shoes will not break when pushing off the ground or the feet will be excessively turned inward or outward when landing.

Running shoes and training shoes are not the same concept. There are big differences between these two types of shoes. When buying shoes, you should think about whether they are running shoes or training shoes. After seeing such a statement, everyone always feels that there is not much difference. Especially after discovering that there are many similar styles of running shoes and training shoes. In fact, a lot can be compared between the two from the performance comparison. Running shoes are mainly provided for professional athletes. You should exercise regularly, and a pair of suitable running shoes is the key to ensuring that you are more comfortable and have better results when exercising. Therefore, in the production of running shoes and training shoes, manufacturers will definitely make great efforts to research and develop running shoes. Whether a brand can produce high-quality and high-performance running shoes also represents the strength of the brand. The occasions suitable for running shoes and training shoes are not exactly the same. Of course, running shoes can definitely be used for shopping, but this is a bit of a waste of talent. Training shoes are fine for shopping. If you have been engaged in jogging or other running training, it would be better to choose running shoes from running shoes and training shoes, which is also the most correct choice. But if you always have to participate in various training or have many hobbies, you have to wear training shoes.
