Picking the Right Cross Training Athletic Shoes for Different Sports Activities

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Cross trainers are very flexible athletic shoes that can be used for different sports activities. Active people tend to engage in different sports activities in a week. Some go cycling, running, jogging, do aerobics, or simply just stroll around the park to enjoy a lovely afternoon. Some of these folks tend to purchase different shoes for different sports but those who can't afford this just buy cross trainers that will work for all their sports.

Finding the Versatile Pair of Athletic Shoes

Even though cross trainers are versatile sports shoes, it should be noted that there are different types of cross trainers to suit different types of activities. One way to find the best type of sports shoes to wear for all occasions is to find a pair of cross trainers that are better designed for specific types of sports.

A pair of cross trainers with better lateral support and stronger soles on the outer edge is well suited for sports that require a lot of lateral movement. People who love to play such sports like tennis or racquetball will find this type of cross trainer to be a good fit and provides better stability during a game.

People who love to run around in uneven terrain should get cross trainers that are designed to provide better ankle support and has leather uppers. At the store, be sure to ask for cross trainers that have what is called a mid-profile upper. Be sure to get one that has uppers constructed out of synthetic or pure leather plus a mesh inset that keeps away perspiration.

Additional Tips and Instructions

Of course, there are other things that people should keep in mind when looking for a good pair of cross training athletic shoes. For instance, after putting on a pair of shoes to be tried out, be sure to rock both feet forward and back. This is a good means of testing the shoe's flexibility. Feeling some pressure in the area above the toes means that the shoe doesn't provide enough flexibility on the metatarsal area, which also means trying on a different pair of cross trainers.

Flex the feet with the new pair of shoes on. If there is a pinching sensation, then try on a new pair. The sole of the shoes should be able to resist bending while allow the feet to gently flex. Without this allowance on the sole, the circulation in the feet will be restricted thus ending in a rather uncomfortable or even painful workout.

When testing out different pairs, make sure to test for slippage. Press both feet down on the floor with the shoes on and try to slide backwards, like Michael Jackson doing a moonwalk. The shoes should be able to keep both feet in place and keep them down no matter the type of ground surface it comes against.

Another thing that people should keep in mind is providing allowance for the toes. There should be enough room for the toes to wriggle around while wearing athletic shoes. Make sure that there is around a quarter of an inch of space from the end of the shoe to the toes. This should be enough room for the toes to make things more comfortable.

When to Replace Cross Trainers

Just like any other kind of shoe, cross trainers also end up getting retired after a certain amount of use. One of the indicators of a worn out cross trainer is a depressed base cushion. Another indication is a tilting sole. One last check is to figure out if the shoes have undergone 80 hours of running or any other physical activities. Given any of these indicators, it would be high time to get a replacement pair of athletic shoes.
