Here are a few tips for before you go competitive shoe shopping:
The nature of your competition plays a crucial role in determining the right shoe. Are you running on trails or pavement? What's the distance? Shorter distances may require lighter shoes with less cushioning, while longer distances may necessitate more support and cushioning.
Try on several different pairs before you decide which one to get. Some might fit your feet better than others. Additionally, if your feet tend to swell during race day, so go in for trials after a workout or a run to ensure your feet are comfortable in the shoes.
Don't wait until race day to wear your new shoes. You want to have enough time to break them in. But also be aware to avoid wearing them out, especially if you plan to run a longer race like a marathon.
There can be a significant difference between competitive and everyday running shoes.
Here are some things to keep an eye on:
Competitive running shoes are usually lighter than everyday running shoes. In a competitive setting, every ounce can make a difference. The lighter the shoe, the less weight you carry, and the faster you can run.
Everyday running shoes typically have more cushioning, as they are designed for comfort and injury prevention over many miles. Competitive running shoes often have less cushioning to save weight. They're built more for speed and responsiveness, and they typically assume that the runner is willing to trade off some comfort to achieve this.
Competitive shoes often have a lower heel-to-toe drop, bringing the foot closer to the ground for a more "natural" stride. While the drop may be more efficient for some runners, it can require more calf strength and flexibility.
The choice between competitive and everyday running shoes is highly personal. Ultimately, it's essential to find shoes that fit well, feel comfortable, and suit your individual running style.
Seasoned runners always recommend replacing shoes every 800 kilometres. But this is not an absolute number. The right time to replace your shoes is when you start noticing wear and tear and can see your performance getting affected.
Over time and distance, the midsole of the shoe, which provides cushioning and stability, can break down. As this happens, the shoe loses its ability to absorb the shock of each footfall, which can lead to more strain on the runner's joints and muscles, potentially increasing the risk of injury.
