Can running shoes be worn daily? Can running shoes be used for mountain climbing?

There are more and more types of running shoes on the market. Many people who like fitness will buy running shoes. However, practicality is very important when buying a pair of shoes. It is not just for running. So can running shoes be worn daily? Can running shoes be used for mountain climbing?

When walking daily, the heel usually lands first, so running shoes that are suitable for heel landing are most suitable for daily wear. Running shoes that land on the entire sole of the foot are suitable for daily wear because the height difference of the sole is relatively large. If it is 10 mm, it is also suitable for daily wear. The smaller the height difference, the less suitable it is for daily wear. Running shoes that land on the forefoot are generally not suitable for daily wear. If you really want to wear them, there is no problem, but the comfort is slightly worse. In short, if you want to take running and daily life into consideration, first choose suitable running shoes according to the way your sole lands when running. Running shoes that land on the heel are basically no problem for daily wear. Running shoes that land on the entire sole of the foot depend on personal running pace and the height difference of the sole. If the height difference is too small, you have to try them on before deciding whether to buy them. In my experience, running shoes with a height difference of more than 8 mm are not a big problem for daily wear. Racing running shoes are basically not suitable for daily wear.

No. First of all, running shoes are special running shoes, not prepared for outdoor mountaineering. If you are just doing a simple hike and will not climb difficult mountains, then a pair of running shoes with higher configuration can be used. But the comfort level is not as high as that of professional mountaineering shoes. So from this perspective, the question of whether running shoes are suitable for mountaineering is a dark negative. Secondly, when we go out for mountaineering, it is inevitable to encounter weather changes, such as wind, rain, snow, etc. At this time, the running shoes that are always available at home will be filled with muddy water because they are not windproof and rainproof. Imagine in such a situation, can you still feel the good mood that outdoor mountaineering brings you? In fact, comfort is secondary. The most important thing is that if the mountain road is muddy, a pair of running shoes will not have a non-slip effect, which can easily cause sports injuries and even life-threatening. So from this perspective, running shoes are not suitable for mountaineering and outdoor sports.

You can wear running shoes. Pay attention to the anti-slip soles of running shoes. Make sure to find soles with high friction to prevent falling on the track. It is best to wear jumping shoes, that is, spiked shoes, because jumping shoes have greater grip and you don’t have to worry about slipping. You can put all your strength on your feet to achieve the best long jump effect. Sprint running shoes are light and have relatively fewer spikes. There is not much difference between middle and long distance running and sprinting shoes. Long jump spiked shoes have relatively more spikes and they are jumping spikes. The soles are thicker, especially in the heel area. The soles are elastic. Some jumping shoes also have protection for the ankles and other parts, but jumping shoes are relatively heavier. Long jump shoes are less used now. There are also 4 spikes in the heel area, and the left and right shoes are different.

In most cases, badminton courts are used on wooden floors. Among the current materials, raw rubber is the best and has no substitute for making soles. The pattern of the sole is concave, which helps to move quickly, step, and stop quickly on the court. Running shoes rarely use this material. Nowadays, badminton shoes basically have air cushions or power cushions. The cushioning and shock absorption of badminton shoes are different from other shoes. There are two cushions at the heel and forefoot, both of which are made inside the sole rubber. Running is mainly forward and mainly linear motion. Running shoes mainly focus on shock absorption and control of inside and outside rotation. Badminton is mainly a horizontal sport. Badminton shoes mainly focus on anti-slip grip and lateral protection. The significant feature of badminton is that the front inner side of the left foot (for right-handed people) is particularly worn due to more dragging. Therefore, professional badminton shoes should have special designs in this regard. In the past, canvas shoes that cost dozens of yuan had a piece of rubber added to that part. Professional sports shoes cannot be designed with all genuine leather (that would be costly, breathable, and heavy). A more common approach is to use genuine leather in that part.
