Given the period, we do not want to continue talking about Coronavirus in this article.
We do, however, use it as a preamble to go into one of the topics that is very close to our hearts.
Movement at the time of Covid
As mentioned, the subject of Covid only serves as a preamble to the topic we want to address.
During these months, (now a year), many people have approached a different lifestyle. On Sunday mornings, but also during the week, many more people go out for a jog or a long walk in the fresh air.
The reasons for this are many and varied. Some have found themselves unable to play their usual sport and have turned to running. Many have replaced their aperitifs at the bar or the ‘tubs’ at the mall with a good walk. Some even started going out just because we were forbidden to do so for a few weeks!
This forced lifestyle change has led many more people towards running shoes,
Running shoes are comfortable!
The fundamental reason for wearing a running shoe during a walk and, why not, also in everyday life is definitely comfort.
Running shoes, even the most high-performance ones, are more cushioned and comfortable than classic trainers.
The running shoe is beautiful!
Technical shoes have always been ‘accused’ over the years of being too flashy to wear outside of sporting activity.
In recent years, manufacturers have paid particular attention to this detail, varying the lines and colours of their footwear. While also retaining more varied colours, they have expanded colour availability to more sober tones that allow technical footwear to be worn in everyday life as well.
Running shoes are not expensive!
If you choose a medium-cushioned running shoe, which has all the makings of an excellent shoe for long walks, you will spend around a hundred euros. When compared to the cost of trainers on the market, the price is completely in line.
The running shoe is versatile!
Although for various reasons we advise against using the same shoe for running and everyday use at the same time, the same shoe can perform both functions over time. The more extreme could end up with only one pair of shoes in the wardrobe!
A running shoe is an investment!
A good running shoe is always a good investment. For several reasons.
Whether it is for running, long walks or everyday life, thanks to its cushioning the running shoe helps to safeguard the health of legs and back by absorbing much of the impact of the foot’s impact on the ground with each step.
In addition, compared to other types of shoes, it helps the foot breathe during strenuous physical activity.
The running shoe is designed to help the user walk further, with less fatigue, and faster. The saving of fatigue and the preservation of muscles will also be reflected in everyday use, leading to less tired and soreness at the end of the day.
