Running shoes, hence the name, are a type of footwear used for the sport of running. As far as athletic footwear is concerned, there are almost as many shoe types as there are sports. Walking shoes or ballet shoes are just some examples for the wide range of sports shoes. What makes running shoes different from all the rest is, of course, the purpose for which they have been designed. In order to support and aid the athlete in the best possible way, running shoes must meet many requirements demanded of them. Not only must they be durable and retain their shape for a long period of time, but they must also be comfortable, without chaffing or rubbing, and should be neither too loose nor too tight. For these many reasons, there are equally as many different kinds of running shoes made to suit each individual runner or jogger.

The best technology = the best running shoes

The best running shoes available on the market today actually have quite a bit of technology and innovation behind all the rubber, cotton and colour. The soles of running shoes are often made of very flexible material which cushions the impact of one's feet hitting the ground when running, while at the same time adapting to the size and shape of the runner's foot. Trail running shoes have a thicker sole and offer a more firm grip on rough, rocky terrain. Also, trail running shoes have a higher ankle made of thick, sturdy material in order to prevent ankle injuries or sprains while running on uneven ground.
