…4 Of The Most Exciting Sports Shoes On The Market Right Now…
An essential element of our mission for ever-greater fitness is footwear. What we wear on our feet matters. If our shoes aren’t any good, we’ll be uncomfortable. In the worst case scenario, a bad shoe can lead to injury.
Things are changing fast in the world of shoes. Now you can get some amazing sports shoes for relatively low prices. You’re bound to find something that suits you.
The following are some of the most exciting shoes on the market right now.
Nike Zoom Soldier
Nike wasn’t messing around when they chose the name “Zoom.” They really did want to make a shoe that was “So fast, you’ll buckle up.” And to a degree, they’ve achieved this.
This shoe is great, whether you’re looking run over many miles or just need to do fast sprints. And it helps to protect your feet through a variety of mechanisms. One is the air pockets under the sole of the shoe, which help to cushion when the foot strikes the floor. The other is the cross-linked internal mesh of fibres. These add directional support while running.
The shoes aren’t cheap, but thanks to these Foot Locker coupons, you can get some substantial money off the final price.
HOKA Speedgoat
HOKA were going for a similar vibe as Nike with their Speedgoat name. They wanted to capture the idea that your shoes would help you run faster. Perhaps even as fast as a mountain goat.
But while they might not be able to achieve that, the shoes themselves are quite impressive. They feature a Vibram sole from the off-road specialists. So this means that, in theory, you can take these shoes with you if you go mountain running.
The shoes themselves are lightweight. And they come with some enhanced geometry designed to help while running over rough terrain.
Brooks Glycerin 13
The Glycerin is Brook’s attempt at an adaptable shoe. It’s designed to cater for all sorts of different gaits. And it’s meant to offer a range of different cushioning levels. The company’s IDEAL Pressure Zone technology distributes pressure over the sole of the shoe. And this helps to reduce the force your foot experiences when striking the ground.
In other words, if your running style isn’t ideal, then the shoe is designed to accommodate this. In a nutshell, it’s forgiving.
Pearl Izumi EM Road M2
Pearl Izumi has decided to go high-tech with their new road running shoe, the EM Road M2. Rather than have the upper made in a factory, it’s actually 3D-printed out. That means that it’s a lot lighter than it would have been. And the shape is also more finely tuned to the shape of the average runner’s feet. Though we’re still a little way off personalised trainers, Pearl Izumi’s new shoe reminds us that that day is not far off.
The shoe itself features a couple of crush pads under the sole. These are designed to redirect energy from hitting the road, back up into the runner. This literally gives them a spring in their step.
