How long can you store your sneakers? It depends on how well you take care of them

Sports shoes are a style that many people like to wear nowadays. They are very comfortable to wear and can be matched with many styles of clothes. The following is a story from the editor of No. 5 website about how long sports shoes can be stored?

How long can sports shoes be stored?

If the sneakers are well preserved, they will generally last for a year or two without any problems.

Sports shoes are shoes designed and manufactured according to the characteristics of people participating in sports or traveling. The soles of sports shoes are different from ordinary leather shoes and rubber shoes. They are generally soft and elastic, and can play a certain role in cushioning. They can enhance elasticity during exercise, and some can also prevent ankle injuries. Therefore, when doing sports, most people have to wear sports shoes, especially high-intensity physical sports, such as basketball, running, etc.

How to store sports shoes

1. The shoes should be placed in a relatively dry and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight, because a humid environment will cause the shoe body to corrode, and exposure to sunlight will cause part of the shoe material to deteriorate and discolor.

2. However, the place where the shoes are placed should not be too dry, as it will cause the leather to crack.

3. When storing shoes, you should stuff soft paper balls inside the shoes. The main purpose of doing this is that the paper balls can absorb residual moisture inside the shoes to keep the inside dry, and it is also helpful to keep the shape of the shoes fixed so that they will not "collapse" after use.

4. It is particularly important to point out that for collection-type storage, it is best to buy some shrink film and completely wrap a pair of shoes like in a shoe store, so as to isolate the shoes from the air to the greatest extent and prevent the air from continuously oxidizing the shoes over a long period of time.

5. For example, the visible air cushion of Nike sports shoes such as max air or the outsole of Jordan 11 and 16 will slowly turn yellow in a few years. Using shrink film to maintain the original color is a better choice.

How to choose sports shoes

1. Shock absorption

Cushioning is one of the most basic functions of a pair of shoes. Every time you jump and land, your knees will bear 7 times the pressure of normal. So when trying on shoes, don't forget to feel whether the sole is soft - a pair of shoes that only look good but can't provide you with enough protection is definitely not suitable for you to wear to play basketball.

2. Startability

All the guards know that even 0.1 second faster in starting is the key to leaving the defender behind. The key to starting is the forefoot, that is, a flexible forefoot is the guarantee of the shoe's starting. NIKE, ADIDAS, etc. have designed many powerful thrusters for the forefoot, such as +ADIPRENE. The weight of the shoe also has a certain impact on starting. Inside players basically don't need to pay too much attention to this standard, but if you are a speedy guard, you must choose a pair of lightweight guard-specific shoes when choosing shoes.

3. Ground-fitting and ankle protection

I put these two together because they both involve the same aspect - ankle protection. Ankle protection refers to whether the upper can provide adequate ankle protection. Obviously, high-top shoes provide much better support for the ankle than low-top shoes. In addition, the upper material should also be thick and soft, not too thin or too hard, otherwise it is easy to cause sprains. Ground contact refers to the height of the upper from the ground. In theory, the farther your foot is from the ground, the greater the chance of spraining your ankle.

Sports Shoes Comparison

Running

Professional running shoes can adapt to a variety of road conditions, such as lawns, cement roads and gravel roads, etc. Running shoes are comfortable, breathable, beautiful and stable.

Running shoes

The materials used for jogging shoes are not much different from those for professional running shoes. They are more suitable for smoother road conditions, such as cement roads and asphalt roads, but the intensity of exercise is relatively low, and the style design is simpler and has better breathability.

Slow walking shoes

Slow-walking shoes, which we often call casual sports shoes, are suitable for walking on flat roads. They are a product created after sports became fashionable.

Outdoor shoes

Outdoor shoes are sports shoes designed for outdoor sports, such as mountaineering and hiking. The requirements for outdoor shoes are high, because there are too many road conditions outdoors, and if it is mountaineering and other sports, the road conditions are sometimes more demanding. Therefore, most outdoor shoes are relatively rough and heavy in appearance, and the uppers are mostly made of suede, oil leather, etc., and have high requirements for breathability, waterproofness, and warmth retention.
