The distinction lies mainly in the degree of cushioning, support and weight<\/strong>. What you choose best, in turn, depends on your goals, preferences and running pattern<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Determining the cushioning, support and type of running shoe will go a long way in helping you choose the right pair.

Supportive running shoes<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]It’s more common than you think: feet that overpronate* while running. To still keep those same feet in a natural<\/strong> position, it’s best to wear running shoes that offer the necessary support. This not only promotes your running pleasure, it also prevents injuries.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n
It makes sense that you don’t know how your feet unroll while walking. <\/strong><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Therefore, this makes this factor in your choice the least obvious. That’s why we recommend doing a free running analysis<\/strong> at Runners’ lab. Our footscan technology maps your running pattern, and based on that, our advisors can easily deduce what kind of shoes your feet need.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]*over-what?

Running shoes adapted to your workouts<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]A slow run through the woods, a run around town or interval training with fast sprints? A different type of shoe is ideal for each of these three situations. And it doesn’t stop at these three either, as we can think of about a dozen other scenarios. Of course, we’re not forcing you to put ten pairs of running shoes in your closet, but know that it can have an impact. There are also hybrid shoes<\/strong> that can serve in a variety of situations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]So what we want to say: the type of training, the surface or even the weather conditions<\/strong> help determine which shoes are best to wear.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

Running shoes with lots of cushioning<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Do you like to walk a little slower and more relaxed? Then it’s best to make yourself as comfortable as possible. The right amount of cushioning helps with that. What is the right amount of cushioning? Your choice! Do you like a soft feeling under your feet? Then go for a maximum cushioning shoe. Do you prefer a more direct contact with the ground? Then you probably prefer running shoes with less soft cushioning. A lot of cushioning<\/strong> is usually ideal for longer, quiet runs<\/strong> or recovery runs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”60px” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” text_color=”#f99d2a” button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”Running shoes in the web shop” url=”https:\/\/shop.runnerslab.be\/nl\/loopschoenen”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” text_color=”#f99d2a” button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”Appointment for shoe consultation” url=”\/en\/appointment\/”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
