RUNNING SHOES
Running shoes are specialised athletic footwear made for running, with reinforced cushioning, a light 'breathable' upper and a flexible, springy sole that absorbs impact and returns the energy of the step. Unlike classic plimsolls, running shoes are a high-tech product: their construction is designed for the biomechanics of running, support of the foot and reduction of load on the joints. Leading brands (Nike, Adidas, Asics) constantly improve foams, insoles and cushioning systems. From purely athletic footwear running shoes passed into the everyday wardrobe too, thanks to comfort and the athleisure aesthetic. Running shoes are high-tech athletic footwear for running, in which reinforced cushioning, lightness and a biomechanically considered construction combine genuine athletic function with a comfort that made them popular in the everyday, athleisure wardrobe too.
