On running shoes and hiking shoes, the FITGO system eliminates the pressure points on your feet, and can quickly fine-tune the tightness at any time through the knob, which can better increase your stride and comfort. #FastLacingSystem #PerformanceFootwear #LacelessTechnology #EfficientLacing #QuickFit #SpeedLacing #SecureFit #SmartLacing #ConvenientLacing https://buff.ly/3OrSXOR

In the never-ending debate of trail runners vs hiking boots there is one irrefutable fact that gets missed because we're all usually defending our personal preference in this argument: And that fact is that trail runners have already market corrected one type of boot: the lightweight/soft hiking boot. Sure there are plenty of people who still wear KEEN Targhee's or Merrell Moab's but generally speaking the trail running category has evolved to offer better footwear alternatives, performance wise, than shoes like that. And those lightweight hikers, which are essentially over built trail runners, typically can't be resoled like a more robust full grain leather hiking boot. So in a sense, we could dispense with that part of the category altogether. But a lot of people like them for their Saturday run to the dump (or as some call it the transfer station) and then to hit Costco on the way home; so that's definitely not going to happen any time soon. How about we just start improving on lightweight hikers by making them resoleable and focus on extending their lives? Maybe make them truly distinct in more than just appearance from the trail runners that have usurped their usefulness? Sounds like a good starting point to me. That's one of three topics I pull from the grab bag on today's episode of THE ROCK FIGHT. Available at the link below or wherever you get your pods. #boots #running #podcast #outdoorindustry

💡Does foot strike matter when running? Research by Van Hooren et al. (2024) shows that there is no direct link between a specific foot strike and improved running economy. While many believe forefoot or midfoot striking is superior to heel striking, the research doesn’t fully support this! That said, it’s still important to understand how foot strike impacts biomechanical loads on various structures and tissues (Xu et al., 2021). Running mechanics are personalised, and your podiatrist or physio should take into account your previous injuries, biomechanics, and training goals before making any changes to your running style. To improve running economy, efficiency, and reduce injury risk, focus on other key factors like cadence (steps per minute), reducing overstride, strength training, plyometrics, and footwear choices—especially with the ever evolving shoe technology! 🔑 If you want to have your running mechanics assessed, book an appointment online! #manly #sportspodiatry #foothealth #running #podiatry #nsw #marathon #podiatrist #sports #run #shoes #runningbiomechanics #northern #beaches #sports #foot #feet #strike #heel #heelstrike #podiatrist #sydney #manlynsw #zebris #treadmill #efficiency #economy #energy #technology

#AiCanHelp #TrackAndField #RunningShoes #NikeVaporfly _Human Prompt:_ Watching track Olympics I see a lot of runners from different nations wearing orange neon shoes. Is this for a reason or brand of shoe? _AI Response:_ The orange neon shoes you're referring to are likely the Nike Vaporfly Next% or AlphaFly Next% shoes, which have become popular among elite runners. The bright orange color is a distinctive feature of these shoes, and it's not just for aesthetics. The Vaporfly and AlphaFly shoes feature a unique design and technology that provides a competitive advantage for runners. They have a full-length carbon plate and a thick, responsive midsole that stores energy and propels runners forward. The shoes are designed for speed and efficiency, making them ideal for sprinters and middle-distance runners. Many top athletes, regardless of their nationality, wear these shoes due to their performance benefits. It's not just a matter of brand loyalty or sponsorship; the shoes have been proven to provide a measurable advantage in terms of speed and energy return. So, when you see runners from different nations wearing these orange neon shoes, it's because they're seeking a competitive edge, not just making a fashion statement!
