The importance of good running shoes

Suffering from knee pain during a run is extremely frustrating, but it doesn’t have to last forever. It’s important to find the perfect shoes to protect your body, so you can say goodbye to painful running. Even if you’re just going out for a quick jog, knee pain can seriously affect your mood and result in further injuries. Luckily, there are many ways around avoiding these pains – like choosing the correct running shoes. For some people, an extra-plush insole and some steady arch support is all they need to keep their knees strong. While other people might need a shoe that will absorb the shock of the pavement.

Now, more than ever, we are aware of how important exercise is to our overall health and well-being. Running isn’t a new thing, it’s been around since the beginning of time, but it remains one of the most common forms of physical activity for us because, to put it honestly, it’s free. Good running shoes don’t come cheap but are proven to be worth the money. Here at BMC Sports, we’ve put together a few reasons why you should invest in a good pair of running shoes.

Running itself has so many benefits for your health. It increases your lung capacity, helps you lose body weight and helps to lower your blood pressure. Good running shoes are also good for you, as a runner, and essential because they:

Cushion the midsole area of your foot from the impact of foot to ground
Provide support for your arches
Help prevent injuries
Improve running performance
Reduce stress on the ankles, heels and toes
Help prevent/reduce back, hip and knee pain
They help prevent the occurrence of tendonitis, joint pain, and stress fractures
Effective running is about an effective workout. You won’t do your body any help if you injure yourself when you are trying to get in shape. If you spend years running in cheap or old trainers then you will find that decision will be costly for your body. If you choose the cheaper option you might find yourself suffering from back pain, knee pain and joint pain in the future. This is why it’s important for you to choose the correct running shoes to keep your present self and your future self protected at all times.
