What we’ll tell you about

Criteria for choosing comfortable sneakers

Foot support

One of the main attributes of good sneakers is providing adequate foot support. This is accomplished primarily through a stiff but flexible sole. It allows you to move naturally and reduces strain on your muscles.

Foot support is especially important for people with a problematic gait or a high arch. The model should distribute the load competently during wear.

Cushioning

Cushioning properties also play a key role. They help to reduce the shock load on the joints – both when walking and running. Sneakers with soft and elastic soles reduce the risk of injuries and foot fatigue. Particular attention should be paid to models with cushioning in the heel, as this area is the most stressed.

Upper material

To make it comfortable to walk in sneakers, they should be made of high-quality and breathable materials. Thus, the upper of synthetic fabric with mesh inserts or perforations provides excellent ventilation and promotes the removal of moisture. This is especially important in warm weather and during prolonged wear.

How to choose a pair?

Before you go shopping for sneakers, it is important to accurately measure your foot. It is better to do this at the end of the day. Then the feet slightly increase in size after prolonged exercise. To do this, follow a simple procedure.

1. Put a sheet of paper on a flat surface.
2. Stand on the sheet.
3. Trace the outline of your foot.
4. Measure the length and width of the foot. You should take the largest values. This is usually the distance from the big (or second) toe to the back of the heel. But that’s not all. You also need to measure the width at the base of your toes.

When you have the exact numbers, use them to choose the right size. Keep in mind that there should be about 5mm of space between your toes and the front of the sneaker. It minimizes the risk of blisters and allows you to move as naturally as possible.

It is also important that sneakers for wide feet do not squeeze the foot on the sides. And owners of narrow feet, on the contrary, need to choose a compact shoe. Otherwise, your feet will slip inside the sneakers.

To make sure that the pair fits for sure, it is worth trying on the model with those socks that you wear in everyday life. This is especially true if you plan to wear sneakers and after the onset of cold weather. That’s when thicker socks are used. Walk around the store to assess how comfortable and stable the shoes fit on your feet.

Care of sneakers

In order for the pair to last as long as possible, it must be competently cared for. I tell you how to do it correctly.

Regular cleaning

Cleaning your sneakers after each wear helps to preserve their appearance and extend their life. Wipe the surface from dust and dirt with special wet wipes. If there are stains on the sneakers, use a soap solution. Gently clean them with a soft brush, paying special attention to the seams and joints.

Drying

To ensure that the summer rains do not play a cruel joke on you, responsibly treat the drying of sneakers. For this purpose, do not use radiators, radiators, hair dryers and even direct sunlight. It is better to let the sneakers dry naturally at room temperature. And to speed up the process, you can put inside paper towels or newspapers that will absorb excess moisture. Or use a special infrared dryer.

Care products

To maintain water-repellent properties and protect the material, regularly treat sneakers with special impregnations. These products help prevent moisture and dirt from penetrating the material, which keeps the shoes in good condition for longer. Use sprays once every one to two weeks, especially if it’s a rainy summer.

Proper storage

Sneakers are best stored in a cool and dry place, avoiding direct sunlight. Use special inserts or paper to avoid warping. Sneakers that are stored in the right conditions keep their shape and pristine appearance longer.

Shoes are not just a way to make the image bright or complete. A well-chosen model allows you to add more activity to your life and feel confident even after a busy day. Sneakers that provide the necessary support and comfort are a real investment in your health and well-being.
