Running Shoes and Sports Footwear

"running shoes"

Everyone who loves sports should have a pair of running shoes. The initial running shoe called Keds was made of fabric and rubber.

When choosing the shoes, you should keep something in your mind. In fact, some people think that the shoes usually have the generic size one possesses, but it is better to try them on by yourself first. Before deciding to buy the running footwear, make sure that both of the shoes fit your size, and normally one foot tends to be a little bit larger than the other one. Also, make sure that you have found the right socks matching with the shoes for walking, jogging or running. Do not only focus on the looks of the shoe when selecting but the style that can perfectly fits you.

Another thing that you should let the salesman know is the type of feet you have. Ask the salesperson if you do not know about it. Depending on the type of your feet (normal, over-arched or flat), you will be able to find a comfortable pair.

The earliest pair of running shoes were plimsolls, which is made from vulcanization (rubber and cloth is fused together by providing heat at a high temperature). Because these shoes were light and comfortable, people called them 'sneakers'. Following the plimsolls, Keds came out when the Keds Shoe Company started designing for the American masses. Before being known as the running shoes all over the world, the Keds had become the biggest supplier of many athletes, runners and exercisers for quite long time.

In 1890, Reebok created this kind of special running shoes with spikes on the underside. Afterward, more and more people started running simply because of the creation of the shoe. With the development of technology, in 1925 the running shoes took another turn. The founder of Adidas brought out a range of spikes made out of lightweight materials, which can help keep balanced and give more support while running.
