As they say, nature does not have bad weather, so all winter weather phenomena, such as snow, frost, ice and cold wind, are not a reason to refrain from a morning run. On the contrary, jogging in winter hardens the body, gives a charge of vivacity and good mood. And in order to reduce the risk of injury or cold, you need to take care of the proper equipment, and the first thing about shoes.
Selection of running shoes
Athletes are well aware that running shoes should have a number of features in order to minimize the load on the joints and spine, protect against injuries, sprains and diseases. Moreover, the requirements for sports running shoes for running in winter are increased. The main qualities that such footwear should possess are the following:
- Good cushioning, to mitigate shock loads on the feet and spine when in contact with the ground. Most often, shock absorbers are presented in the form of air cushions on the sole under the heel and toe. In some models, special springs are installed under the heel.
- Water-repellent and ribbed sole, which will increase the grip, if you have to run on ice and off-road. It should be noted that on women's winter running shoes, the sole should be made of high-tech materials, and not of rubber. Since the latter has the property of hardening in the frost.
- Also, women's running shoes for running should be light, which will save the legs from overwork and make the run easy and pleasant.
- And, of course, tightness is one of the main requirements put forward for winter sports shoes. Neither cold nor moisture should penetrate inside, otherwise colds can not be avoided.
From a wide range of specialized footwear for running in the winter, I want to highlight the sneakers Asics. These are lightweight and flexible models with an interesting design, reliable protector sole, made of high quality moisture resistant materials.
