How to Choose Running Shoes (5-Step Guide)
1. Observe the arch/foot shape:
• Normal arch → Cushioning or Stability type
• Flatfoot → Supportive or Control Type
• High arches → Better shock absorption, protecting against impact pressure during landing
2. Purpose of Running:
• Daily Health Run/Fat Loss → Cushioning Type or Daily Training Type
• Target Progress Pace/Competition → Consider Competitive Type
• Occasionally running on mountain trails outdoors → Trail running
3. Volume and Experience:
• Low mileage (less than 10km per week) → Choose comfort and durability
• High mileage (over 20km per week) → Prioritize cushioning and foot feel
4. Try-on feel:
• No toe jamming, no heel rubbing
• The foot has space but does not slide
• Immediately feel a sense of "wanting to move" upon wearing it
