Do you know what is common in various sports India plays? Or for that matter what about the whole world? There is something which has very close connection irrespective of which sport you can name. Surprisingly, it is very inherent, very obvious but if you don’t know or just cannot think about, we name it ourselves: shoes.
Shoes are something that is needed in special sports like weight lifting and other strenuous exercises. They provide the firm footing on slippery mats else one slip and you may be rendered unfit for a long period, destroying your rhythm. Even otherwise physical activities need you to spring on your feet often and then for this very purpose, athletic shoes are a must. They are tailor made for providing comfort and support and with the aim of helping athletes reach new levels of competencies.
What to look for in Athletic Shoes?
All physical activities put stress on your feet and in turn on your shoes. This means the shoe should be able to withstand all normal and excessive stress easily. But the demands do not end here and we bring forward all that you need to look for in shoes so that your march is totally smooth and without any big hurdles.
So without further ado, we list the important points:
- All round Comfort
If a shoe is not comfortable, there is no point in choosing it. Remember that when you lift weights or need aggressive running, any small discomfort turns big and it may bring blisters, imbalance and other myriad problems. Sometimes the problems look small, but continue only to find you are rendered inoperable for quite a few days. It will break your rhythm and you will have to start all over again.
- Durability and Capable of working long hours
The construction should be good and flimsy shoes should be avoided at all cost. If a shoe gives in when you are in-between your exercises, you either may lose balance or grip and a grievous injury may result. Inspect your shoes carefully and assess whether the stitching and other areas look robust.
When rains are approaching, muggy weather often is the case. Ensure your shoe can absorb at least some amount of sweat and not slip away.
- Designer Looks
Well, everyone wants to show off and persist that they have got the best shoes in town. But keep this secondary and only when the above two conditions are met you should focus on this aspect. A poorly manufactured or not-made-for-sports shoe will give in easily and you will be the only one laughed upon. Remember that when you achieve your shoe gets the credit but when you lose because of the shoe, people will criticize your selection.
- Versatile everywhere?
Your shoe works well when you exercise but does it match with your outfits? Sports shoes usually look terrific with any outfits you throw at and if your pair does it with aplomb, you will get appreciation all rounds. If you have a choice, opt for the one which works well at outings and exercises too. This way you can afford to spend a little extra as you save yourself from purchasing shoes for different occasions.
- Affordable?
Instead of rushing to buy expensive shoes, visit online stores of other low-key players and evaluate their products. For example J-64 and TRK-06 are the most affordable and sturdy shoes which you just cannot miss. Many a time, famous brands simply market the shoes from small manufacturers which cost a pittance. If you know what to look for and where, for pennies you will get the best shoe available in the market for sure.
- Credible Support
If the shoe pampers your feet, protects with soft padding and gives a nice feeling when you are at your task proves the footwear is good. If you are involved in a lot of running, the shoe should aid and not obstruct your path. Good athletic shoes immediately show supporting ability when worn and tried a few steps.
- Reputed Vendor
Imitations are available everywhere and you should either know how to differentiate or vouch for a registered vendor. Keep your eyes wide open and ears alert for anyone who offers whopping discounts for no obvious reason. When your legs depend on it, always buy from authorized retailer and nullify the possibility of fake shoes.
- Move your hands and feet inside
Try before you actually buy. Feel the shoe, how much it weighs and does it give a positive feedback? Does the inside look comfortable? How is the upper, area around the toes and how does the snug fit shoe feel like. Wear it once, move a few steps, jump a couple of times, press against the ground and gather what you felt about and then decide.
Shoes can make or break your dreams and you should always be overly cautious when purchasing shoes to fulfill your sports dreams. Leave nothing to chance and decide on your own.
